Responsible Gaming

Gambling Should Be Entertainment, Not Income

At Easy Epoxy Floors Gold Coast, we believe gambling should only be viewed as a form of entertainment, similar to going to the movies or dining out. It should never be considered a way to earn money or solve financial problems. Always gamble with money you can afford to lose, and only participate in betting activities as part of a balanced lifestyle.

Age Verification

In Australia, you must be at least 18 years of age to participate in gambling activities. By accessing betting sites, you confirm that you are of legal gambling age in your jurisdiction. We are committed to preventing underage gambling and encourage parents and guardians to monitor online activity.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

If you experience any of the following, you may be developing a gambling problem:

• Chasing losses by gambling more to recover money lost
• Gambling with increasing amounts of money to achieve the same excitement
• Hiding gambling activities or lying about the time and money spent gambling
• Feeling anxious, irritable, or restless when trying to reduce gambling
• Neglecting work, education, family, or social relationships due to gambling
• Using gambling to escape problems, stress, or negative emotions
• Borrowing money or going into debt to fund gambling activities
• Unsuccessful attempts to cut back or stop gambling
• Risking important relationships, jobs, or educational opportunities because of gambling
• Committing illegal acts to finance gambling or cover losses

If you recognise any of these signs in your own behaviour, please reach out for support immediately.

Self-Help Tools and Resources

Most reputable betting sites offer tools to help you maintain control of your gambling:

• Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit over a specific period (daily, weekly, or monthly)
• Loss Limits: Establish a maximum amount you're willing to lose before you stop gambling
• Reality Checks: Receive regular reminders about how long you've been gambling and how much you've spent
• Time-Out or Cool-Off Periods: Take a temporary break from your account (hours to days)
• Self-Exclusion: Permanently or temporarily close your account and prevent access to betting services

We encourage you to use these tools proactively to maintain healthy gambling habits.
