Responsible Gaming
Our Commitment to Responsible Gaming
At Jenny Spears Music, we believe that gaming should be enjoyed as entertainment only, never as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. We're committed to promoting safe and responsible gaming practices for all our players in Australia.
Age Verification
Online gaming in Australia is strictly restricted to individuals aged 18 years and over. By accessing any gaming services through our site, you confirm that you are at least 18 years of age and meet all local legal requirements for your jurisdiction.
We do not permit access to anyone under the legal age of majority in their location.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
If you recognise any of the following behaviours in yourself or someone you know, it may be time to seek help:
- Spending more time or money on gambling than intended
- Chasing losses by gambling more to recover money lost
- Hiding gambling activity or lying about the amount wagered
- Neglecting family, work, or other important responsibilities due to gaming
- Using gambling as a way to escape problems or negative emotions
- Borrowing money or experiencing financial difficulties due to gambling
- Feeling anxious, irritable, or restless when trying to reduce gaming
- Failed attempts to cut back or stop gambling
- Relationships becoming strained due to gaming habits
Self-Help Tools
Most gaming operators offer built-in tools to help you maintain control. Consider using:
- Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you're willing to deposit within a specific timeframe
- Loss Limits: Cap the amount you're prepared to lose
- Time Limits: Set reminders or automatic session timeouts
- Reality Checks: Regular notifications showing your play time and money spent
- Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently exclude yourself from gaming sites
These tools are designed to help you stay in control and game responsibly.
