Responsible Gaming

Introduction

At Bacchus Marsh Tech Support, we're committed to promoting responsible gaming on our NRL betting site. 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 view any losses as the cost of entertainment, similar to going to the cinema or attending a sporting event.

Age Verification

By accessing our NRL betting services, you confirm that you are at least 18 years of age or the legal gambling age in your Australian state or territory, whichever is applicable. Underage gambling is illegal and harmful. We take age verification seriously and reserve the right to request proof of identity at any time.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

If you experience any of the following, you may be developing a gambling problem:

• Chasing losses by gambling more to recover money you've lost
• Hiding your gambling activities or lying to friends and family about how much you gamble
• Gambling with money needed for essential expenses (rent, food, bills, medication)
• Feeling anxious, irritable, or restless when trying to cut back or stop gambling
• Neglecting work, study, relationships, or hobbies due to gambling
• Borrowing money to fund gambling activities
• Gambling longer or with larger amounts than intended
• Failed attempts to control, cut back, or stop gambling
• Relying on gambling to cope with stress, depression, anxiety, or other emotions
• Experiencing financial difficulties due to gambling

Self-Help Tools & Limits

We provide several tools to help you maintain control of your gambling:

• Deposit Limits: Set daily, weekly, or monthly limits on how much you can deposit into your account
• Loss Limits: Establish maximum loss amounts to protect your bankroll
• Betting Limits: Control the maximum amount you can wager per bet
• Reality Checks: Receive periodic reminders during your gaming session about how long you've been playing and how much you've spent
• Session Time Limits: Set automatic session timers to limit continuous play
• Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently close your account if you need a break from gambling

If you wish to use any of these tools, please contact our support team or access them through your account settings.
