Responsible Gaming
Introduction
At Silver Taxi Sydney Airport, we believe gambling should be enjoyed as entertainment only. Betting sites and casino games are designed for fun and should never be considered as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. Please gamble responsibly and within your means.
Age Verification
Online gambling in Australia is only available to individuals who are 18 years of age or older. If you are under the legal gambling age, please do not attempt to access any betting services. We take age verification seriously and reserve the right to request proof of age at any time.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
If you recognise any of the following signs, you may be developing a gambling problem:
- ☐ Spending more time and money on gambling than intended
- ☐ Chasing losses by gambling more to recover money lost
- ☐ Hiding gambling activities from family, friends, or partners
- ☐ Gambling to escape problems, stress, anxiety, or depression
- ☐ Neglecting work, study, or family responsibilities due to gambling
- ☐ Borrowing money or using credit to fund gambling
- ☐ Experiencing mood swings or irritability when unable to gamble
- ☐ Failed attempts to cut down or stop gambling
- ☐ Lying to others about the extent of your gambling
- ☐ Gambling with money meant for essentials like bills or food
If you identify with any of these warning signs, help is available.
Self-Help Tools
Most reputable betting platforms offer tools to help you maintain control of your gambling:
- Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit within a specific timeframe (daily, weekly, or monthly)
- Loss Limits: Set a cap on how much you are willing to lose in a session or timeframe
- Betting Limits: Restrict the maximum amount you can wager per bet
- Reality Checks: Enable pop-up reminders during gambling sessions to reflect on your activity
- Session Time Limits: Set automatic logout times to prevent extended gambling sessions
- Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently exclude yourself from accessing betting sites
- Account Closure: Request permanent closure of your account if needed
We encourage you to use these tools proactively as part of your responsible gambling practice.
