Responsible Gaming

Gambling Should Be Entertainment

At Barossa Legends, we believe gambling should only ever be viewed as a form of entertainment, not as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. It's important to understand that the odds are always in favour of the house, and you should only gamble with money you can afford to lose.

If you find yourself struggling with your gambling habits, help is available and support is just a phone call away.

Age Verification

All betting sites in Australia require users to be at least 18 years of age to participate in gambling activities. By using Barossa Legends and any affiliated betting sites, you confirm that you meet this legal requirement.

If you are under 18, please do not attempt to register or gamble on any platform.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

Problem gambling can develop gradually. Please be aware of the following warning signs:

• Chasing losses: Trying to win back money you've lost by gambling more
• Hiding gambling: Keeping your gambling activity secret from family or friends
• Increasing stakes: Needing to gamble with larger amounts to get the same excitement
• Failed attempts to stop: Repeatedly trying to cut back but being unable to do so
• Neglecting responsibilities: Missing work, school, or family commitments due to gambling
• Using gambling to escape: Gambling to relieve stress, anxiety, or sadness
• Financial problems: Borrowing money, using credit cards, or going into debt to gamble
• Mood changes: Becoming irritable or anxious when unable to gamble
• Lying about gambling: Dishonesty with loved ones about the extent of your gambling

If you recognise any of these signs in yourself or someone you know, professional help is available.

Self-Help Tools & Controls

Responsible betting sites offer built-in tools to help you maintain control over your gambling. These include:

• Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit within a specific time period (daily, weekly, or monthly)
• Loss Limits: Cap the amount you're willing to lose over a given period
• Betting Limits: Restrict the maximum stake you can place on individual bets
• Reality Checks: Receive notifications at set intervals reminding you how long you've been gambling and how much you've spent
• Session Limits: Set a timer to automatically log you out after a certain period
• Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently exclude yourself from betting sites to take a break from gambling

We strongly encourage you to use these tools as part of your responsible gambling strategy. Speak with your betting site's customer support team if you need help setting up any of these controls.
