Responsible Gaming
Introduction
At Bush Orchestra, we're committed to promoting responsible gaming practices. Gaming should always 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 maintain a healthy balance in their gaming habits.
Age Verification
All players must be 18 years of age or older to participate in online gaming in Australia. By accessing our site, you confirm that you are of legal age in your jurisdiction. We reserve the right to request verification of age at any time.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
If you experience any of the following warning signs, it may be time to seek help:
- Chasing losses by gambling more to recover money you've lost
- Hiding your gambling activity from family, friends, or partners
- Spending more time or money on gaming than intended
- Feeling anxious, irritable, or depressed when not gambling
- Neglecting work, school, or personal relationships due to gambling
- Borrowing money or going into debt to fund gambling
- Failed attempts to cut back or stop gambling
- Lying about the extent of your gambling activities
- Using gambling to escape problems or negative emotions
Self-Help Tools
We provide several tools to help you maintain control of your gaming:
- Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you're willing to deposit within a specified time period
- Loss Limits: Establish a cap on losses you're willing to accept
