Responsible Gaming
Our Commitment to Safe Gaming
At AppAust, we're committed to promoting responsible gaming practices. Gambling should always be viewed as entertainment, not as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. We encourage all players to gamble within their means and to seek help if gambling becomes problematic.
Age Verification
Online gambling in Australia is strictly regulated. You must be 18 years of age or older to access and use our services on appaust.com. We take age verification seriously and reserve the right to verify your identity at any time. If you are under the legal gambling age, please do not use our platform.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
Problem gambling can develop gradually. If you recognise any of the following warning signs in yourself or someone you know, it may be time to seek help:
- Chasing losses by gambling with more money to recover what you've lost
- Hiding gambling activities or lying about the amount of time or money spent gambling
- Neglecting family, work, or personal responsibilities due to gambling
- Experiencing mood swings or irritability when not gambling
- Borrowing money or using credit to fund gambling activities
- Feeling unable to stop or control gambling habits
- Experiencing financial difficulties as a result of gambling
- Using gambling as a way to escape stress, anxiety, or depression
Self-Help Tools & Controls
We provide a range of tools to help you maintain control over your gambling:
- Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you're willing to deposit within a specified timeframe (daily, weekly, or monthly).
- Loss Limits: Set a limit on the maximum amount you're prepared to lose during a gaming session.
- Reality Checks: Receive periodic reminders during play to reflect on your gambling activity and time spent.
- Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently exclude yourself from accessing our platform if you feel you've lost control.
These tools are available in your account settings. We encourage you to use them proactively.
