Responsible Gaming
Gambling Should Be Entertainment, Not Income
At Metro Lawn Tennis, we're committed to promoting responsible gambling practices. Online casino gaming should be enjoyed as a form of entertainment only—never as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. Always gamble within your means and only with money you can afford to lose.
Age Verification
You must be at least 18 years of age (or the legal gambling age in your jurisdiction) to participate in online casino gaming in Australia. We take age verification seriously and comply with all applicable Australian gambling laws. If you are under the legal age, please do not access our affiliated casino sites.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
Gambling can become problematic. If you recognize any of the following signs in yourself or someone you know, it may be time to seek help:
- Chasing losses—trying to recover lost money by gambling more
- Hiding gambling activities or lying about the amount you gamble
- Neglecting family, work, or other responsibilities due to gambling
- Feeling anxious, irritable, or restless when not gambling
- Gambling with money intended for essential expenses (rent, bills, food)
- Borrowing money to fund gambling activities
- Inability to stop or control gambling behavior
- Using gambling to escape problems or negative emotions
- Repeatedly setting limits and then exceeding them
- Friends or family expressing concern about your gambling habits
Self-Help Tools & Controls
Most responsible online casinos offer tools to help you maintain control of your gambling:
- Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit within a specified time period (daily, weekly, or monthly)
- Loss Limits: Establish a cap on the total amount you're willing to lose
- Session Time Limits: Set automatic reminders or session limits to control how long you play
- Reality Checks: Request pop-up notifications during play to remind you of time and money spent
- Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently exclude yourself from accessing casino accounts if you feel your gambling is becoming problematic
Use these tools proactively. They are designed to empower you to gamble responsibly.
