Gambling Should Be Entertainment
At Clicks Per Second, we believe that gambling should only ever be viewed as a form of entertainment, not as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. Betting should be fun, social, and conducted within your means. If you find yourself relying on gambling as income or using it to recover losses, it's time to seek help.
Remember: the house always has an edge. Only gamble with money you can afford to lose.
Age Verification
Gambling in Australia is strictly regulated and only available to persons aged 18 years and over (or the legal age in your state or territory). If you are under the legal gambling age, you must not use betting services.
By accessing our website and placing bets, you confirm that you are of legal gambling age in your jurisdiction.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
Problem gambling can develop gradually. Be honest with yourself and watch for these warning signs:
- Chasing losses by gambling more to recover money you've lost
- Gambling with money needed for essentials (rent, food, bills, utilities)
- Hiding gambling activities from family, friends, or partners
- Lying about how much time or money you spend on gambling
- Gambling to escape problems, stress, anxiety, or depression
- Neglecting work, studies, or relationships due to gambling
- Feeling anxious, irritable, or restless when not gambling
- Borrowing money to fund gambling activities
- Attempting to gamble less but failing repeatedly
- Needing to gamble with larger amounts to achieve the same excitement
If you recognize any of these signs in yourself or someone you know, it's important to reach out for support.
Self-Help Tools
Most online betting operators in Australia offer built-in protection tools to help you gamble responsibly:
- Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit within a specific timeframe (daily, weekly, or monthly)
- Loss Limits: Restrict the amount of money you're willing to lose during a set period
- Session Time Limits: Set automatic reminders or cutoffs for your betting sessions
- Reality Checks: Enable pop-up notifications during play to remind you of time elapsed and money spent
- Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently ban yourself from accessing betting services
- Account Closure: Permanently close your account if needed
We encourage you to use these tools proactively. They're designed to help you stay in control.
