Responsible Gaming

Gambling Should Be Entertainment

At Sustainable You Pod, we're committed to promoting responsible gambling practices. Betting should always be viewed as a form of entertainment, not as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. Only gamble with money you can afford to lose, and never chase losses by betting more than you planned.

Age Verification

In Australia, you must be 18 years of age or older to participate in gambling activities. We are committed to preventing underage gambling and take age verification seriously. If you are under 18, you are not permitted to use any betting services linked from this website.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

If you recognise any of the following signs in yourself or someone else, help is available:

• Chasing losses by gambling more money to recover what you've lost
• Hiding gambling activities or lying about the amount of time or money spent
• Feeling anxious or irritable when unable to gamble
• Gambling with money needed for essential expenses (rent, food, bills)
• Neglecting family, work, or other important responsibilities
• Borrowing money to fund gambling activities
• Gambling to escape problems or uncomfortable emotions
• Failed attempts to reduce or stop gambling
• Gambling taking up increasingly more time and money
• Experiencing mood swings or depression related to gambling
