Responsible Gaming

Responsible gaming at joefortunez.com is based on empowering every player to engage with gambling as a form of entertainment-never as a means to generate income or resolve financial difficulty. We are committed to promoting safe gambling practices and providing robust resources and support to players who may need assistance. Our platform offers dedicated tools, information, and guidance to help all users make informed decisions when gambling online.

Risk Awareness

OBSERVE: AU gambling legislation and industry codes mandate clear warnings about gambling risks and provide self-identification tools.
EXPAND: Integrating signs of potential problem gambling and practical self-assessment assists users in early risk detection.
REFLECT: A comprehensive section is created to fulfill obligations and empower user self-monitoring.

Recognising the Risks

  • Frequent or prolonged betting sessions that disrupt daily life or responsibilities
  • Repeated attempts to recover losses ('chasing losses' behavior)
  • Preoccupation with gambling, including persistent thoughts about betting outside play time
  • Borrowing money or selling possessions to fund gambling habits
  • Neglecting work, education, or family due to time or financial commitments to gambling
  • Withholding gambling involvement from family or friends
  • Emotional changes such as anxiety, irritability, or mood swings related to betting outcomes

Self-Assessment Test

Consider the following statements. If you answer "yes" to several, you may be at risk:

  1. I find it difficult to stop gambling once I start.
  2. I often spend more money or time on gambling than I intend.
  3. I have tried unsuccessfully to cut down or quit gambling.
  4. I use gambling as a way to escape stress or personal problems.
  5. People close to me have expressed concern about my gambling habits.

If any of these apply, consider using the self-control tools and support resources provided below.
