Responsible Gaming
Gambling Should Be Entertainment, Not Income
At Bennall Sop, we're committed to promoting responsible gambling. Betting apps and online gambling should only be viewed as a form of entertainment, not as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. Only gamble with money you can afford to lose, and never chase losses or bet more than your budget allows.
Age Verification
In Australia, you must be at least 18 years of age to use betting apps and participate in gambling activities. It is illegal for anyone under 18 to gamble. We take age verification seriously and require all users to confirm their age upon registration.
If you are under 18, please do not attempt to access betting services. Parents and guardians should monitor young people's online activity and use parental controls where available.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
Problem gambling can develop gradually. Be aware of these warning signs:
- Chasing losses by betting more to recover money you've lost
- Gambling with money needed for essentials (rent, bills, food)
- Hiding your gambling activity from family or friends
- Feeling anxious, irritable, or guilty about your gambling
- Spending more time and money on gambling than intended
- Neglecting work, study, or relationships due to gambling
- Borrowing money or getting into debt to gamble
- Lying about how much you gamble or your losses
- Unsuccessful attempts to cut down or stop gambling
- Using gambling to escape problems or negative emotions
If you recognize any of these signs in yourself, please seek help immediately.
Self-Help Tools & Features
Most betting apps provide tools to help you gamble responsibly. These include:
- Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit over a specific period (daily, weekly, or monthly)
- Loss Limits: Cap the amount you're willing to lose in a given timeframe
- Reality Checks: Receive reminders about how long you've been gambling and how much you've spent
- Session Limits: Set a time limit for your gaming sessions
- Self-Exclusion: Take a break from gambling for a period you choose (days, weeks, months, or years)
- Account Closure: Permanently close your account if you decide to stop
Use these tools to maintain control and enjoy gambling responsibly.
