Responsible Gaming

Our Commitment to Safe Betting

At ourtibetstory.org, we believe that betting should be enjoyed as entertainment only, never as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. We're committed to promoting responsible gaming practices and supporting our Australian players in making informed decisions.

Age Verification

All betting sites recommended on ourtibetstory.org are strictly regulated and require players to be at least 18 years of age or the legal gambling age in your state or territory. If you're under the legal age, please do not attempt to gamble. Betting is not suitable for minors.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

If you recognise any of the following signs in yourself or someone you know, it may be time to seek help:

• ☐ Gambling with money you cannot afford to lose
• ☐ Chasing losses by gambling more to try to win back money
• ☐ Hiding gambling activity or lying about the amount spent
• ☐ Neglecting family, work, or study due to gambling
• ☐ Feeling anxious or irritable when not gambling
• ☐ Increasing the amount or frequency of bets to feel the same excitement
• ☐ Unable to control or stop gambling despite wanting to
• ☐ Using gambling to escape problems or negative emotions
• ☐ Borrowing money to gamble or pay gambling debts
• ☐ Experiencing financial, relationship, or legal problems due to gambling

Self-Help Tools

Responsible gaming features can help you maintain control over your gambling:

• Deposit Limits: Set a daily, weekly, or monthly limit on the amount you can deposit
• Loss Limits: Set a maximum amount you're willing to lose in a given period
• Reality Checks: Enable regular reminders of how long you've been gambling and how much you've spent
• Session Timeouts: Automatically log out after a set period of inactivity
• Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently exclude yourself from betting sites

All licensed betting operators in Australia are required to offer these tools. Make use of them to stay in control.
