1. Overview
For the majority of people, gambling is an enjoyable leisure and entertainment
activity. But for some, gambling can have negative impacts. As a result, we have
developed this policy to communicate our approach to responsible gambling and
minimizing harm to consumers who may be vulnerable to problem gambling.
2. What is Responsible Gambling?
“Responsible Gambling” is a broad concept that aims to ensure gambling is
conducted in a manner whereby the potential for harm associated with problem
gambling is minimized. It respects the responsibility of individuals for their own
actions, but also acknowledges a responsibility on the part of service providers.

Problem gambling occurs when a person loses control over their gambling,
particularly the amount of money gambled and the amount of time devoted to
gambling.

from betting with us;
