Responsible Gaming
Our Commitment to Responsible Gaming
At brianscarpetvinylservices.com, we are committed to promoting responsible gaming practices. We believe that gaming should be enjoyed as entertainment only, never as a way to earn money or solve financial problems.
Age Verification
Online gaming in Australia is strictly for adults aged 18 years and over. By accessing our site, you confirm that you are of legal age to gamble 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
If you recognise any of these warning signs in yourself or someone you know, help is available:
- Gambling more than intended or more frequently than planned
- Chasing losses by continuing to gamble to win back money
- Hiding gambling activity or lying about the amount of time or money spent
- Neglecting family, work, or other important responsibilities due to gambling
- Borrowing money to gamble or gambling with money needed for essentials
- Experiencing anxiety, depression, or mood changes related to gambling
- Feeling unable to stop or control gambling behaviour
- Using gambling to escape stress, problems, or negative emotions
Self-Help Tools
Many gaming platforms offer tools to help you stay in control:
- 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
- Time Limits: Restrict the amount of time you can spend gaming
- Reality Checks: Receive regular reminders of how long you've been gaming
- Self-Exclusion: Exclude yourself from gaming sites for a set period or permanently
We encourage you to use these tools to maintain healthy gaming habits.
