Responsible Gaming
Gaming Should Be Entertainment, Not Income
At Back in G'Town, we believe that NRL betting should be enjoyed as entertainment only. Gambling is never a reliable way to earn money or solve financial problems. Only bet what you can afford to lose, and never chase losses by betting more than planned.
Age Verification
All users must be 18 years of age or older to participate in online betting in Australia. It is illegal for anyone under the legal age to gamble. We take age verification seriously and reserve the right to request proof of identity.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
Problem gambling can develop gradually. Please be aware of these warning signs:
- Chasing losses by betting more money to recover what you've lost
- Hiding your gambling activity from family, friends, or partners
- Gambling with money needed for essentials like bills, rent, or food
- Spending more time and money on gambling than intended
- Neglecting work, school, or personal relationships due to gambling
- Feeling anxious, irritable, or restless when unable to gamble
- Borrowing money or going into debt to fund gambling
- Failed attempts to cut back or stop gambling
- Using gambling to escape from problems or negative emotions
- Thinking constantly about betting or past gambling sessions
If you recognise any of these signs in yourself or someone you know, help is available.
Self-Help Tools & Player Protection
Most Australian betting operators offer responsible gaming tools to help you stay in control:
- Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit over a day, week, or month
- Loss Limits: Cap the amount you're willing to lose during a set period
- Bet Limits: Restrict the maximum stake on individual bets
- Reality Checks: Receive regular notifications about how long you've been gambling and how much you've wagered
- Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently exclude yourself from a betting site or multiple sites via GamStop
- Time-Out Periods: Take a break from gambling for a set duration
We encourage you to use these tools as part of your responsible gaming strategy.
