Responsible Gambling

At The Dog House Megaways AU, we are committed to promoting responsible gambling. Gambling should always be a fun and entertaining activity — never a financial strategy or a way to solve financial problems.

18+ Only

You must be 18 years of age or older to gamble online in Australia. This website is strictly intended for adults. If you are under 18, please leave immediately. If you are aware of a minor attempting to access gambling websites, please contact your internet service provider about parental control options.

Signs of Problem Gambling

Problem gambling can affect anyone. Be aware of the following warning signs:

  • Spending more money or time on gambling than you can afford
  • Difficulty cutting back or stopping, despite wanting to
  • Borrowing money or selling possessions to fund gambling
  • Hiding gambling activities from family or friends
  • Feeling anxious, irritable or depressed when not gambling
  • Chasing losses — trying to win back money you have lost
  • Gambling interfering with work, relationships or daily life

Safe Gambling Tips

  • Set a strict budget before you start and stick to it
  • Only gamble with money you can afford to lose
  • Set time limits for your gambling sessions
  • Never gamble when you are upset, depressed or under the influence of alcohol
  • Take regular breaks during gambling sessions
  • Use the free demo mode to practise without risking real money
  • Use casino responsible gambling tools: deposit limits, cooling-off periods, self-exclusion

Self-Exclusion

If you feel your gambling is becoming a problem, most Australian licensed online casinos offer self-exclusion programs. You can also use the national self-exclusion register BetStop at betstop.gov.au to block yourself from all licensed Australian wagering providers.
