Responsible Gaming
Gambling Should Be Entertainment
At dipapp.info, we're committed to promoting responsible gaming practices. It's important to understand that gambling should only be viewed as a form of entertainment, not as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. Like any form of entertainment, it comes with costs and risks that you should carefully consider.
Always gamble within your means and only with money you can afford to lose. If you find yourself struggling with your gambling habits, help is available.
Age Verification
In Australia, you must be at least 18 years of age to participate in online gambling activities. If you are under 18, please do not use our services. We take underage gambling seriously and implement strict age verification measures to protect minors.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
If you recognise any of the following signs in yourself or someone you know, problem gambling may be developing:
- Spending more time and money on gambling than intended
- Chasing losses by gambling more to recover lost money
- Hiding gambling activities or lying about the extent of your gambling
- Neglecting family, friends, work, or other responsibilities due to gambling
- Borrowing money to gamble or pay gambling debts
- Feeling anxious, irritable, or restless when not gambling
- Needing to gamble with increasing amounts of money to feel the same excitement
- Failed attempts to cut back or stop gambling
- Using gambling to cope with stress, anxiety, depression, or other emotional issues
- Experiencing financial difficulties as a result of gambling
Self-Help Tools & Responsible Gaming Features
Most reputable online casinos offer tools to help you maintain control of your gambling:
- Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you're willing to deposit within a specific timeframe (daily, weekly, or monthly)
- Loss Limits: Set a limit on how much you're willing to lose in a given period
- Reality Checks: Request pop-up reminders of how long you've been playing and how much you've spent
- Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently exclude yourself from gambling for a period you choose
- Cool-Off Periods: Take a break from gambling for a set duration

We encourage you to use these tools as part of your responsible gaming practice.
