Responsible Gaming
Our Commitment to Safe Gambling
At Fair Catholic Funding, we are committed to promoting responsible gambling practices. We believe that betting should be enjoyed as entertainment only, never as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. If you choose to gamble, please do so responsibly and within your means.
Age Verification
Gambling in Australia is strictly regulated and only available to individuals who are 18 years of age or older. We take age verification seriously and require all users to confirm they meet the legal age requirement before accessing betting services. If you are under the legal age to gamble, please do not use our services.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
Problem gambling can affect anyone. If you recognise any of the following warning signs in yourself or someone you know, it may be time to seek help:
- Chasing losses by gambling with more money to recover what you've lost
- Gambling with money intended for essential expenses (rent, bills, food)
- Hiding your gambling activities or lying about the amount you're spending
- Feeling anxious, irritable, or restless when you're not gambling
- Unable to reduce or control your gambling despite wanting to
- Neglecting family, friends, work, or study due to gambling
- Borrowing money to fund gambling activities
- Experiencing sleep problems or mood changes related to gambling
- Gambling to escape problems or negative feelings
Self-Help Tools
Many betting operators offer tools to help you gamble responsibly. These may include:
- Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit within a specified timeframe
- Loss Limits: Set a maximum amount you are willing to lose
- Reality Checks: Receive notifications reminding you how long you've been gambling
- Time-Out: Take a break from gambling for a set period
- Self-Exclusion: Voluntarily exclude yourself from gambling services, either with individual operators or across multiple venues
We encourage you to use these tools if you feel your gambling is becoming problematic.
