Responsible Gaming
Gambling Should Be Entertainment
At Jayne Hockley, we're committed to promoting responsible gambling practices. Betting should 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 use gambling as an escape from personal difficulties.
Age Verification
All gambling products and services available through betting websites are strictly for individuals aged 18 years and over (or the legal gambling age in your state or territory in Australia). By accessing our content and recommendations, you confirm that you meet this legal requirement. We do not condone gambling by minors and encourage parents and guardians to discuss the risks of gambling with young people.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
If you experience any of the following, you may have a gambling problem. Please seek help immediately:
- Spending more time and money on gambling than intended
- Difficulty controlling gambling urges or reducing betting amounts
- Chasing losses by gambling more to recover money lost
- Hiding gambling activities from family, friends, or partners
- Gambling to escape stress, anxiety, depression, or other emotional problems
- Neglecting work, study, family, or social responsibilities due to gambling
- Borrowing money or going into debt to fund gambling
- Experiencing mood swings, irritability, or anxiety when unable to gamble
- Failed attempts to reduce or stop gambling
- Lying about gambling habits or the amount of money spent
Self-Help Tools & Responsible Gambling Features
Most reputable betting sites offer built-in tools to help you gamble responsibly:
- Deposit Limits: Set maximum amounts you can deposit within a specified time period (daily, weekly, or monthly)
- Loss Limits: Cap the amount you're willing to lose during a session or time period
- Reality Checks: Receive pop-up reminders during gambling sessions about how long you've been playing and money spent
- Session Time Limits: Set automatic time-outs to interrupt extended gambling sessions
- Self-Exclusion: Voluntarily exclude yourself from betting sites for a period of time (typically 6 months to several years)
- Account Closure: Permanently close your betting account if needed
We recommend using these tools as part of your responsible gambling strategy.
