Responsible Gaming
Our Commitment to Safe Betting
At adamrobertyoung.com, we believe that betting should be enjoyed as entertainment only, never as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. We are committed to promoting responsible gaming practices and supporting the wellbeing of our community.
Age Verification
Gambling is only for adults aged 18 years and over in Australia. We take age verification seriously and require all users to confirm they are of legal age before accessing betting services. If you are under 18, please do not proceed.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
If you recognise any of the following signs in your own behaviour, it may be time to seek help:
- Chasing losses by gambling more money to try to recover what you've lost
- Hiding or lying about the amount of time or money you spend gambling
- Gambling with money needed for essential expenses like rent, bills, or food
- Feeling anxious, irritable, or restless when not gambling
- Needing to gamble with larger amounts to achieve the same excitement
- Unsuccessful attempts to cut back or stop gambling
- Neglecting work, study, family, or social relationships due to gambling
- Borrowing money to fund gambling activities
- Experiencing mood swings or depression related to gambling losses
- Using gambling to escape problems or negative emotions
Self-Help Tools
Most reputable betting operators offer built-in tools to help you maintain control of your gambling. These include:
- Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit within a specified timeframe (daily, weekly, or monthly)
- Loss Limits: Cap the maximum amount you can lose during a set period
- Reality Checks: Receive periodic reminders of how long you've been gambling and how much you've spent
- Time-Outs: Take a break from gambling for a set period without closing your account
- Self-Exclusion: Voluntarily ban yourself from accessing betting services for a designated period (typically 6 months to 5 years)
We encourage you to use these tools proactively. Setting limits before you start gambling is one of the most effective ways to stay in control.
