Responsible Gaming
Our Commitment to Safe Betting
At Barclay Livestock, we're committed to promoting responsible gambling practices. Betting should 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 seek help if gambling becomes a concern.
Age Verification
You must be at least 18 years of age (or the legal gambling age in your state or territory) to use any betting apps or services on this website. We take age verification seriously and reserve the right to request proof of age at any time. If you are under the legal age, please do not attempt to open an account or place bets.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
If you recognise any of the following signs in your own behaviour, it may indicate a gambling problem:
- Chasing losses by betting more money to recover what you've lost
- Spending more time and money on gambling than intended
- Hiding your gambling activity from family, friends, or partners
- Neglecting work, study, or family responsibilities due to gambling
- Borrowing money to gamble or pay gambling debts
- Feeling anxious, irritable, or restless when not gambling
- Failed attempts to cut down or stop gambling
- Using gambling to escape problems or manage difficult emotions
- Lying about the extent of your gambling
- Experiencing financial difficulties as a result of gambling
If you identify with any of these signs, please seek help immediately.
Self-Help Tools & Limits
Most reputable betting apps in Australia offer built-in tools to help you gamble responsibly. These include:
- Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit within a specific time period
- Loss Limits: Restrict the amount you can lose within a day, week, or month
- Betting Limits: Control the maximum stake per bet
- Reality Checks: Receive reminders about how long you've been gambling
- Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently close your account if you need a break
- Cool-Off Periods: Take a mandatory break from betting for a set duration
We recommend using these tools proactively, even if you don't currently feel you need them.
