Responsible Gaming
Our Commitment to Responsible Gaming
At Perth Hire Co, we are committed to promoting responsible gaming practices. Gambling should be enjoyed as entertainment only, not as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. We encourage all players to gamble within their means and to seek help if they experience difficulties.
Age Verification
You must be at least 18 years of age (or the legal age for gambling in your jurisdiction) to access and use betting sites. We take age verification seriously and comply with all Australian gambling regulations. If you are under the legal gambling age, please do not attempt to register or place bets.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
If you experience any of the following, you may be developing a gambling problem:
- Gambling with money you cannot afford to lose
- Chasing losses by gambling more to recover money lost
- Spending more time and money on gambling than intended
- Neglecting family, work, or other responsibilities due to gambling
- Hiding gambling activities or lying about the amount wagered
- Feeling anxious, irritable, or restless when not gambling
- Borrowing money to gamble
- Unsuccessful attempts to reduce or stop gambling
- Using gambling to escape problems or negative emotions
- Experiencing relationship or financial difficulties due to gambling
Self-Help Tools
Most reputable betting sites offer self-help features to assist you in maintaining control:
- Deposit Limits: Set maximum amounts you can deposit within a specified timeframe
- Loss Limits: Restrict the amount of money you can lose in a given period
- Time Limits: Set reminders or automatic logout times during gaming sessions
- Reality Checks: Receive notifications to check your gambling activity and time spent
- Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently exclude yourself from betting sites
- Account Closure: Close your account if you need to stop gambling
We strongly encourage you to use these tools proactively to help manage your gambling behaviour.
