Responsible Gaming
Gaming Should Be Entertainment, Not Income
At alfredandivy.net, we believe that online gaming should be enjoyed as entertainment only. Gambling should never be considered a way to earn money or solve financial problems. The odds are always in favour of the house, and you should only gamble with money you can afford to lose.
Please gamble responsibly and within your means.
Age Verification
Online gaming is only available to individuals who are 18 years of age or older in Australia, or the legal gambling age in your jurisdiction. We are committed to preventing underage gambling and take age verification seriously.
If you are under the legal gambling age in your area, please do not attempt to access gaming services.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
Problem gambling can affect anyone. If you recognise any of the following warning signs in your own behaviour, please seek help immediately:
- Spending more time and money on gambling than intended
- Chasing losses by gambling more to recover money lost
- Hiding gambling activities or lying about the amount spent
- Experiencing mood swings or anxiety related to gambling
- Neglecting family, work, or social responsibilities due to gambling
- Borrowing money or using credit to fund gambling
- Feeling unable to stop or control gambling urges
- Using gambling as an escape from stress, depression, or other problems
- Experiencing financial difficulties due to gambling
- Attempting to reduce or quit gambling without success
