Responsible Gaming
Our Commitment to Responsible Gaming
At Audi Club QLD, we are committed to promoting responsible gaming practices. Online gaming should be enjoyed as entertainment only, not as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. If you choose to participate, please do so responsibly and within your means.
Age Verification
In Australia, online gambling is only available to individuals who are 18 years of age or older. We take age verification seriously and require all users to confirm their age before accessing our services. If you are under 18, you must not use this site.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
Problem gambling can develop gradually. If you recognise any of the following signs in yourself or someone you know, it may be time to seek help:
- Spending more time or money on gambling than intended
- Chasing losses by gambling more to recover money you've lost
- Lying to family, friends, or others about the extent of your gambling
- Neglecting work, study, or family responsibilities due to gambling
- Gambling to escape problems, stress, anxiety, or depression
- Borrowing money or using savings to fund gambling activities
- Feeling anxious or irritable when trying to cut down or stop gambling
- Failed attempts to control, reduce, or stop gambling
- Using gambling as a way to earn money or solve financial problems
Self-Help Tools
Many online gaming platforms offer tools to help you maintain control of your gaming. These may include:
- 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
- Reality Checks: Receive reminders during gaming sessions about how long you've been playing
- Session Timers: Set time limits for your gaming sessions
- Self-Exclusion: Take a break or permanently exclude yourself from gaming for a period of time
We encourage you to use these tools to maintain control over your gaming habits.
