Responsible Gaming

At Golf and Fishing TCI, we are committed to promoting responsible gaming practices. Our mission is to provide entertainment while ensuring the safety and wellbeing of our players. This page contains important information about responsible gaming, support resources, and tools to help you maintain control of your gaming habits.

What is Responsible Gaming?

Responsible gaming refers to a set of standards and practices designed to ensure that casino gaming remains a form of entertainment rather than developing into a problem. It involves:

• Setting limits on time and money spent gambling
• Understanding the odds and house edge of casino games
• Never gambling with money you cannot afford to lose
• Treating losses as the cost of entertainment
• Keeping gambling separate from other financial obligations
• Recognising warning signs of problem gambling in yourself and others

We encourage all our players to gamble responsibly and within their means. Gambling should only be undertaken as a form of entertainment, not as a way to make money or solve financial problems.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

It is important to recognise the warning signs of problem gambling. If you or someone you know exhibits any of the following behaviours, help is available:

• Gambling with increasing amounts of money to achieve the same level of excitement
• Difficulty controlling the amount of time or money spent gambling
• Attempting to hide gambling activities from family or friends
• Gambling as a way to escape problems or negative emotions
• Borrowing money or using credit to fund gambling activities
• Neglecting work, school, or family responsibilities due to gambling
• Experiencing mood changes, irritability, or anxiety when not gambling
• Experiencing financial difficulties as a result of gambling
• Continued gambling despite recognising the negative impact on your life

Self-Exclusion and Deposit Limits

We provide tools to help you maintain control over your gaming activities. These include:

Self-Exclusion

Self-exclusion allows you to voluntarily exclude yourself from accessing your account for a specified period. Once activated, you will not be able to log in, deposit funds, or place bets. Self-exclusion periods typically range from 24 hours to permanent exclusion. Contact our customer support team to activate self-exclusion on your account.

Deposit Limits

You can set daily, weekly, or monthly deposit limits on your account. These limits prevent you from depositing more than your chosen amount within the specified timeframe. This tool helps you manage your gambling budget and avoid overspending.

Age Verification and 18+ Policy

Golf and Fishing TCI strictly enforces an 18+ policy. All players must be 18 years of age or older to register, deposit funds, or participate in gaming activities. We conduct rigorous age verification checks during account registration and periodically throughout your relationship with us. Any account found to be operated by a person under 18 years of age will be immediately closed, and any funds will be forfeited in accordance with our terms and conditions.

Support Resources and Helplines

If you are experiencing problems with gambling, professional support is available. We encourage you to reach out to one of the following organisations:

• Gamblers Anonymous Australia: A free, confidential peer-support organisation offering meetings and resources throughout Australia. Visit www.gamblersanonymous.org.au for meeting times and locations.
• Gambling Help Online: A free counselling service provided by the Victorian Gambling and Casino Control Commission. Call 1800 858 858 or visit www.gamblinghelponline.org.au
• Problem Gambling Services: State-based services offering free counselling and support. Contact your local service for more information.

Remember, seeking help is a sign of strength. Professional counsellors are trained to provide confidential, non-judgmental support to help you regain control of your gaming habits.
