Responsible Gaming
Our Commitment to Safe Gaming
At Hunters Hill Art, we're committed to promoting responsible gaming practices. 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
You must be at least 18 years of age (or the legal gambling age in your state/territory) to participate in online gaming. We take age verification seriously and comply with all Australian gaming regulations. If you are under the legal age, please do not access gaming services.

- Spending more time or money on gaming than intended
- Chasing losses by continuing to gamble to recover money lost
- Hiding or lying about gambling activities and expenditure
- Neglecting family, work, or other responsibilities due to gaming

Self-Help Tools & Limits
Most reputable gaming platforms offer tools to help you maintain control:
- Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit within a specific timeframe
- Loss Limits: Cap the amount you're willing to lose in a session or period
- Reality Checks: Receive notifications reminding you of time and money spent
- Session Time Limits: Set automatic breaks during gaming sessions
- Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently exclude yourself from gaming accounts

We encourage you to use these tools proactively to maintain healthy gaming habits.
