Responsible Gaming

Gambling at Fairgobets is intended for entertainment purposes only and should never be considered a source of income or financial solution. The platform is committed to promoting responsible gambling and ensuring that all players can enjoy their experience while maintaining control over their gameplay.

Self-Control Tools

Fairgobets provides a variety of responsible gambling tools designed to help players manage their gambling activities effectively. These tools include:

• Deposit limits to control the amount of money that can be added to an account within a specific time frame
• Loss limits that allow players to set a cap on their losses during a specified period
• Wagering limits to restrict the amount of money wagered on games, ensuring players do not exceed their comfort level
• Session time limits that allow players to set a maximum duration for their gaming sessions, helping to prevent excessive play
• Cooling-off periods that enable players to take a temporary break from gambling, which can be beneficial for those seeking to regain control
• Self-exclusion options that allow players to voluntarily restrict access to their accounts for a predetermined period or even indefinitely

These tools are easily accessible within the player’s account settings, empowering players to take proactive steps in managing their gambling behavior.

Self-Assessment

Players can assess their gambling behavior by reflecting on the following questions:

1. Do I often gamble more than I can afford to lose?
2. Am I using gambling as a way to cope with stress or emotional issues?
3. Do I find myself chasing losses in an attempt to recover my money?
4. Have I ever borrowed money or sold personal items to gamble?
5. Do I feel anxious or restless when I am not gambling?
6. Have I neglected personal or professional responsibilities due to gambling?
7. Do I hide my gambling activity from family or friends?

Answering these questions honestly can help players identify any early signs of problematic gambling behavior and determine whether they need to take action.

Protection of Minors

Fairgobets takes the protection of minors seriously and employs strict safeguards and procedures to prevent underage access to the platform. Key measures include:

• Age verification processes that require players to provide proof of age during the registration process
• KYC (Know Your Customer) checks that ensure all players are of legal gambling age, in compliance with Australian regulations
• Ongoing monitoring of accounts to detect any signs of underage gambling

These measures are designed to create a safe gaming environment where minors are not able to participate.
