Responsible Gambling

Gambling may be becoming a problem if you:

• Spend more money or time gambling than you intended.
• Chase losses or increase stakes to feel the same level of excitement.
• Borrow money or sell things to fund gambling.
• Feel anxious, irritable, or restless when trying to cut back.
• Neglect work, study, family, or personal wellbeing because of gambling.
• Lie to others about how much you gamble or how much you have lost.
• Gamble to escape stress, boredom, or emotional pain.

If any of these apply to you, please reach out to one of the support services above. There is no shame in asking for help.

Licensed Australian bookmakers are required to offer tools that help you manage your gambling. These include:

• Deposit limits: set a maximum amount you can deposit per day, week, or month.
• Activity statements: review your gambling history and net position.
• Reality checks: set reminders that tell you how long you have been betting.
• Self-exclusion: temporarily or permanently block yourself from a bookmaker. Use BetStop to self-exclude from all Australian online wagering providers at once.
• Account closure: all bookmakers must provide a simple way to close your account.

Sherwood is committed to promoting responsible gambling by:

• Displaying mandatory responsible gambling messaging on every page of our site.
• Providing prominent links to support services and the BetStop self-exclusion register.
• Not accepting wagers or facilitating betting transactions of any kind.
• Not targeting marketing to anyone under the age of 18.
• Framing our tools around informed decision-making rather than encouraging increased gambling.
