Responsible Gaming
Gaming Should Be Entertainment
At greenacre.care, we believe that online gaming should only ever be viewed as a form of entertainment, not as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. Like any form of entertainment, it carries risks and should only be enjoyed responsibly by adults who can afford to lose what they wager.
We encourage all players to set strict limits on their time and spending, and to never gamble with money they cannot afford to lose.
Age Verification
Online gaming is only for adults aged 18 years and over in Australia. It is illegal for anyone under 18 to gamble online. By using greenacre.care, you confirm that you are at least 18 years of age and meet all legal requirements to participate in online gaming in your jurisdiction.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
Problem gambling can develop quickly. Please be aware of these warning signs:
- Chasing losses — trying to win back money you've lost
- Gambling with money meant for bills, rent, or essential expenses
- Hiding or lying about your gambling activity
- Needing to gamble with increasing amounts to feel the same excitement
- Failing attempts to cut back or control your gambling
- Feeling restless or irritable when trying to reduce gambling
- Using gambling to escape problems or negative emotions
- Neglecting work, study, family, or relationships due to gambling
- Borrowing money to fund gambling activity
- Experiencing financial hardship as a result of gambling
If you recognise any of these signs in yourself or someone you know, please seek help immediately.
