Responsible Gaming

Gaming Should Be Entertainment

At Thrive Yoga with Ana, we believe that online betting should be enjoyed as entertainment only, never as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. Gambling carries inherent risks, and it's important to play within your means and set strict limits on what you're willing to spend.

We are committed to promoting responsible gaming practices and supporting our players in maintaining a healthy relationship with betting activities.

Age Verification

All players must be 18 years of age or older to participate in online betting in Australia. We take age verification seriously and implement strict checks to ensure compliance with local laws. If you are under the legal age, you must not access or use any betting services.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

Please be aware of these warning signs that may indicate problematic gambling behaviour:

• Chasing losses: Trying to win back money you've lost by gambling more
• Hiding gambling: Concealing the amount of time or money spent gambling from family or friends
• Spending more than intended: Regularly betting more money or for longer periods than planned
• Neglecting responsibilities: Missing work, school, or family commitments due to gambling
• Borrowing to gamble: Taking loans or using credit to fund betting activities
• Loss of control: Unable to stop or cut down on gambling despite wanting to
• Mood changes: Becoming irritable, anxious, or depressed when not gambling
• Risking relationships: Gambling is causing conflicts with family, friends, or partners
• Financial difficulties: Experiencing money problems due to gambling losses

If you recognise any of these signs in yourself or someone you know, it's important to seek help immediately.

Self-Help Tools & Controls

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

• Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit within a specific timeframe (daily, weekly, or monthly)
• Loss Limits: Establish a maximum loss threshold to help you stop before losses become significant
• Reality Checks: Receive regular notifications reminding you of time spent and money wagered during your session
• Session Time Limits: Set automatic session timeouts to prevent prolonged gambling
• Self-Exclusion: Take a break from gambling by self-excluding from your account for a period you choose

Contact our support team to activate any of these tools. We're here to help you gamble responsibly.
