Responsible Gaming

Gaming Should Be Entertainment

At Light Keepers Inn, we believe that betting and gaming should only ever be a form of entertainment, never a way to earn money or solve financial problems. If you find yourself gambling beyond your means or viewing it as income, it's time to seek help.

Gambling carries real risks. Please gamble responsibly and within your limits.

Age Verification

You must be 18 years of age or older to participate in gambling activities in Australia. This is a legal requirement that we strictly enforce to protect young people from the harms of problem gambling.

If you are under 18, please do not use our affiliated betting sites.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

Do any of these apply to you? If so, you may be developing a gambling problem:

• Chasing losses by gambling more to win back money you've lost
• Gambling with money intended for bills, rent, or essential expenses
• Hiding your gambling activities from family, friends, or partners
• Lying about how much time or money you spend gambling
• Feeling anxious, irritable, or restless when not gambling
• Needing to gamble with increasing amounts to feel the same excitement
• Gambling to escape problems, stress, or negative emotions
• Failed attempts to cut back or control gambling
• Borrowing money to fund gambling activities
• Neglecting work, study, family, or social commitments due to gambling
• Experiencing relationship conflicts because of your gambling
• Feeling guilty or ashamed about your gambling behaviour

If you recognise any of these signs, please reach out for support immediately.

Self-Help Tools & Limits

Most reputable Australian betting sites offer tools to help you stay in control. Use these features:

• Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit within a specified time period (daily, weekly, or monthly)
• Loss Limits: Cap the total amount you're willing to lose in a given timeframe
• Reality Checks: Enable reminders during gaming sessions to check how long and how much you've been gambling
• Session Limits: Automatically log you out after a set period of time
• Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently block yourself from accessing betting accounts
• Account Cooling Off: Take a mandatory break from gambling for a set period

Always use these tools proactively. Many people find them invaluable for maintaining healthy gambling habits.
