Responsible Gaming

Introduction

At Aus Viba Bakery, we believe that NRL betting should be enjoyed as entertainment only. Gambling should never be viewed as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. It's important to bet only what you can afford to lose and to maintain a healthy relationship with gambling activities.

Age Verification

In Australia, you must be 18 years of age or older to participate in gambling activities. We are committed to preventing underage gambling and will verify your age before allowing access to betting services. If you are under 18, please do not proceed.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

If you notice any of the following signs in your behaviour, it may be time to seek help:

• Chasing losses by betting more to recover money you've lost
• Hiding your gambling activities from friends or family
• Gambling with money needed for essentials (rent, bills, food)
• Feeling unable to stop or control your gambling
• Neglecting work, study, or relationships due to gambling
• Borrowing money to gamble or pay gambling debts
• Gambling to escape problems, stress, or negative emotions
• Needing to gamble with increasing amounts to feel the same excitement
• Becoming irritable or anxious when trying to reduce gambling
• Lying to others about the extent of your gambling

Self-Help Tools

Most responsible betting platforms offer tools to help you maintain control:

• Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit in a day, week, or month
• Loss Limits: Set a maximum amount you're willing to lose in a set period
• Bet Limits: Restrict the size of individual bets you can place
• Reality Checks: Receive reminders about how long you've been gambling
• Time-Out: Take a temporary break from your account (hours or days)
• Self-Exclusion: Permanently close your account and exclude yourself from betting sites

We encourage you to use these tools proactively as part of your responsible gaming strategy.
