Responsible Gaming
Gaming Should Be Entertainment
At No More Fat Kitty, we believe that online betting should be an enjoyable form of entertainment, not a way to earn money or solve financial problems. Betting sites are designed for fun and should never be viewed as a reliable source of income.
We encourage all players to gamble responsibly and within their means. If you find yourself struggling with your gambling habits, support is available.
Age Verification
In Australia, you must be at least 18 years old to participate in online gambling. All players must provide valid identification to verify their age before accessing betting services. If you are under the legal age, please do not attempt to register or place bets.
Parents and guardians should monitor online activity and use parental controls to prevent underage access to gambling websites.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
If you recognise any of the following signs in your gambling behaviour, it may indicate a problem:
- Chasing losses by betting more money to recover what you've lost
- Gambling with money intended for essential expenses (rent, bills, food)
- Hiding your gambling activity from family, friends, or partners
- Spending more time or money on gambling than intended
- Feeling anxious, irritable, or restless when unable to gamble
- Lying about the extent of your gambling
- Neglecting work, school, or personal relationships due to gambling
- Borrowing money to fund gambling activities
- Feeling like you need to bet larger amounts for the same excitement
- Failed attempts to reduce or stop gambling
If any of these apply to you, please seek help immediately.
Self-Help Tools & Controls
Most responsible betting platforms offer tools to help you maintain control of your gambling:
- Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit within a specific timeframe (daily, weekly, or monthly)
- Loss Limits: Set a maximum amount you are willing to lose over a set period
- Betting Limits: Restrict the maximum stake per bet
- Reality Checks: Receive regular reminders of how long you've been gambling and how much you've spent
- Self-Exclusion: Voluntarily exclude yourself from gambling for a specified period (typically 6 months to 5 years)
- Session Time Limits: Set automatic logout after a certain period of inactivity
We recommend using these tools as part of your responsible gaming strategy. Speak with your betting site's customer support to activate any of these features.
