Responsible Gaming

Gaming Should Be Entertainment

At Stepping Stones for Tourism, we believe NRL betting should be enjoyed as entertainment only. Gambling should never be viewed as a way to earn money, pay bills, or solve financial problems. It's important to bet only what you can afford to lose and to maintain control over your gambling habits.

Age Verification

In Australia, you must be at least 18 years of age to legally gamble. We take age verification seriously and do not permit anyone under the legal age to place bets on our platform.

If you are under 18, please do not use our betting services. If you have concerns about a young person's gambling, please contact the support organizations listed below.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

If you recognize any of these signs in yourself or someone you know, it may be time to seek help:

• Chasing losses: Gambling more to recover money you've lost
• Hiding gambling: Keeping gambling secret from family or friends
• Loss of control: Being unable to stop or reduce gambling
• Neglecting responsibilities: Missing work, school, or family commitments due to gambling
• Increased betting: Needing to bet larger amounts to feel the same excitement
• Irritability when not gambling: Becoming anxious or irritable when unable to gamble
• Financial problems: Gambling with money needed for bills, food, or essentials
• Failed attempts to quit: Repeatedly trying and failing to reduce or stop gambling
• Using gambling to escape: Gambling to cope with stress, anxiety, or depression
• Borrowing to gamble: Taking loans or using credit to fund gambling activities
