Responsible Gaming

Our Commitment to Responsible Gaming

At The Jephasuns, we are committed to promoting responsible gaming practices. Online gaming should be enjoyed as entertainment only, not as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. If you choose to participate in online gaming, please do so responsibly and within your means.

Age Verification

Online gaming in Australia is strictly for individuals aged 18 years and over, or the legal age of majority in your jurisdiction. We take age verification seriously and do not permit underage gambling.

By accessing this website, you confirm that you are aged 18 years or over and legally permitted to engage in online gaming in your location.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

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

• Chasing losses by gambling more to recover money you've lost
• Gambling with money allocated for essential expenses (bills, rent, food)
• Hiding your gambling activity from family, friends, or partners
• Spending increasing amounts of time or money on gaming
• Neglecting work, school, or personal relationships due to gaming
• Feeling anxious, irritable, or restless when not gambling
• Lying about the extent of your gaming involvement
• Borrowing money to fund gambling activities
• Failed attempts to reduce or stop gambling
• Gambling to escape problems or relieve negative emotions

If you recognise any of these signs in your own behaviour, please seek help immediately.

Self-Help Tools

Most responsible gaming platforms offer tools to help you maintain control:

• Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you are willing to deposit within a specified time period
• Loss Limits: Establish a maximum amount you are prepared to lose
• Reality Checks: Receive periodic reminders of how long you have been gaming and how much you have spent
• Time-Out: Take a break from gaming for a set period without closing your account
• Self-Exclusion: Permanently or temporarily exclude yourself from gaming platforms

We encourage you to use these tools to ensure your gaming remains within safe and enjoyable limits.
