Responsible Gaming

Gaming Should Be Entertainment

At Central Property Projects, we believe that gaming should be enjoyed as a form of entertainment only. Gambling should never be viewed as a way to earn money, pay bills, or solve financial problems. Only gamble with money you can afford to lose, and always set limits before you play.

Age Verification

In Australia, you must be at least 18 years of age to participate in gambling activities. By accessing our services, you confirm that you are of legal gambling age in your jurisdiction. We take age verification seriously and reserve the right to request proof of age at any time.

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, it's time to seek help:

• Chasing Losses: Attempting to recover gambling losses by gambling more
• Hiding Gambling: Concealing the extent of your gambling from family or friends
• Loss of Control: Being unable to stop gambling once you start
• Neglecting Responsibilities: Prioritising gambling over work, study, or family commitments
• Financial Problems: Borrowing money to gamble or gambling with money needed for essentials
• Increased Tolerance: Needing to gamble larger amounts to achieve the same excitement
• Mood Changes: Becoming irritable, anxious, or depressed when unable to gamble
• Failed Attempts to Quit: Repeatedly trying and failing to reduce or stop gambling
• Escapism: Using gambling to escape problems or manage stress and negative emotions
• Risk Taking: Increasing the size or risk of bets to seek thrills

Self-Help Tools & Player Protection

We provide a range of tools to help you maintain control of your gaming experience:

• Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit within a specific time period
• Loss Limits: Set a maximum amount you are willing to lose in a session or week
• Time Limits: Receive reminders after a set period of gaming activity
• Reality Checks: Regular pop-up notifications showing your account status and time spent gaming
• Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently exclude yourself from gaming services
• Account Cooling-Off: Take a break from gaming for a set period without closing your account

These tools are available in your account settings. We encourage you to use them as part of your responsible gaming approach.
