Responsible Gaming

Gaming Should Be Entertainment

At Your Golf Pro, we believe that online gambling should only ever be viewed as a form of entertainment, not as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. Gambling involves risk, and you should only gamble with money you can afford to lose. Never use gambling as an investment strategy or a solution to financial difficulties.

Age Verification

Online gambling in Australia is only available to persons aged 18 years and over. By accessing any gambling services through this website, you confirm that you are of legal age to do so in your jurisdiction. We take age verification seriously and reserve the right to request proof of age at any time.

If you are under 18, you must not use any online gambling services.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

Problem gambling can develop gradually. Please review the following checklist. If you recognise any of these signs in yourself or someone you know, help is available:

• Spending more time and money on gambling than intended
• Feeling anxious or irritable when unable to gamble
• Chasing losses by gambling more to recover money lost
• Hiding gambling activity from family, friends, or partners
• Gambling to escape problems, stress, or difficult emotions
• Neglecting work, study, family, or social commitments due to gambling
• Borrowing money or going into debt to gamble
• Lying about the amount of time or money spent gambling
• Failed attempts to reduce or stop gambling
• Experiencing relationship or financial problems related to gambling

Self-Help Tools & Responsible Gaming Features

Most reputable online gambling operators provide tools to help you stay in control:

• Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit within a specified period (daily, weekly, or monthly)
• Loss Limits: Set a maximum amount you are willing to lose in a given timeframe
• Reality Checks: Receive notifications reminding you how long you have been gambling
• Time-Out/Cool-Off Periods: Temporarily suspend your account for hours, days, or weeks
• Self-Exclusion: Permanently close your account if you wish to stop gambling entirely

We encourage you to use these tools proactively to maintain healthy gambling habits.
