Responsible Gaming

Our Commitment to Responsible Gaming

At Doze Dogs, we are committed to promoting responsible gaming practices. Online gaming should be enjoyed as entertainment only, not as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. We encourage all players to gamble responsibly and within their means.

Age Verification

Online gambling in Australia is only available to individuals who are 18 years of age or older. By accessing our site and participating in gaming activities, you confirm that you are at least 18 years old and meet all legal requirements in your jurisdiction. We reserve the right to verify your age at any time.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

Problem gambling can develop gradually. If you recognise any of the following signs in your own behaviour, please seek help immediately:

• Spending more time or money on gambling than intended
• Chasing losses by gambling more to recover money lost
• Hiding gambling activities or lying about the amount of time or money spent
• Neglecting family, friends, work, or other responsibilities due to gambling
• Borrowing money to gamble or gambling with money needed for essential expenses
• Experiencing mood changes, irritability, or anxiety when unable to gamble
• Feeling the need to gamble with increasing amounts to achieve the same excitement
• Unsuccessful attempts to reduce or control gambling
• Using gambling as a way to escape problems or negative emotions

Self-Help Tools

We provide several tools to help you maintain control of your gaming:

• Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you are willing to deposit within a specified timeframe (daily, weekly, or monthly). These limits help you stay within your budget.
• Loss Limits: Establish a maximum amount you are prepared to lose. Once reached, your account will be restricted from further play.
• Reality Checks: Enable notifications that remind you how long you have been playing and how much you have wagered during your session.
• Self-Exclusion: If you feel you need to step away from gaming, we offer self-exclusion options that temporarily or permanently close your account.
• Session Time Limits: Set automatic session timeouts to help manage your playing time.

To access these tools, please visit your account settings or contact our customer support team.
