Responsible Gaming
Gambling Should Be Entertainment, Not Income
At buy2gether.com.au, we believe that gambling should only ever be viewed as a form of entertainment, similar to going to the movies or dining out. It should never be considered a way to make money or solve financial problems.
Casino games are designed with a mathematical edge in favour of the house. While winning is possible, the odds are always in the casino's favour over time. Please gamble only with money you can afford to lose.
Age Verification
In Australia, you must be at least 18 years of age to gamble. This is a legal requirement.
If you are under 18, or if you are assisting someone under 18, please do not participate in gambling activities. By accessing our partner casino sites, you confirm that you are of legal age to gamble in your jurisdiction.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
Problem gambling can develop gradually. Please be honest with yourself and watch for these warning signs:
- Chasing losses by gambling more to recover money lost
- Gambling with increasing amounts of money to achieve the same level of excitement
- Hiding your gambling activities or lying about how much you gamble
- Neglecting work, study, family, or social relationships due to gambling
- Experiencing anxiety, stress, or depression related to gambling
- Borrowing money to finance gambling activities
- Feeling unable to stop or reduce gambling despite wanting to
- Spending more time and money on gambling than intended
- Using gambling to escape problems or negative feelings
- Family or friends expressing concern about your gambling habits
If you recognise any of these signs in your own behaviour, seek help immediately.
Self-Help Tools & Controls
Most responsible casinos offer tools to help you maintain control over your gambling:
- Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit within a specified time period (daily, weekly, or monthly)
- Loss Limits: Set a maximum amount you are willing to lose in a set timeframe
- Betting Limits: Restrict the maximum bet size on individual games
- Reality Checks: Receive pop-up reminders during your gaming session showing how long you've been playing and how much you've wagered
- Session Time Limits: Set automatic session timeouts to prevent extended gambling periods
- Self-Exclusion: Voluntarily exclude yourself from accessing casino accounts for a set period or permanently
Use these tools proactively. They are designed to protect you and help maintain healthy gambling habits.
