Responsible Gaming
Our Commitment to Responsible Gaming
At laff-melbourne-uni.com, we are committed to promoting responsible gaming practices. Gambling should be enjoyed as entertainment only, not as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. We encourage all players to gamble within their means and to seek help if gambling becomes a concern.
Age Verification
In Australia, you must be at least 18 years of age to participate in online gambling. We take age verification seriously and reserve the right to request proof of age at any time. If you are under the legal gambling age in your jurisdiction, please do not use our services.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
Problem gambling can affect anyone. Please be aware of these warning signs:
- Gambling with money you cannot afford to lose
- Chasing losses by gambling more to recover money lost
- Spending more time and money on gambling than intended
- Hiding gambling activities from family, friends, or partners
- Feeling anxious, irritable, or restless when not gambling
- Using gambling to escape problems or negative emotions
- Borrowing money to gamble or pay gambling debts
- Neglecting work, school, family, or social responsibilities
- Failed attempts to reduce or stop gambling
- Lying about the amount of time or money spent gambling
If you recognise any of these signs in yourself or someone you know, help is available.
Self-Help Tools
We provide several tools to help you maintain control of your gambling:
- Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit within a specific time period
- Loss Limits: Set a maximum amount you are willing to lose within a specific time period
- Reality Checks: Receive regular reminders about how long you have been playing and how much you have spent
- Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently exclude yourself from your account for a period you choose
