Responsible Gaming

Gambling at Race96 is intended solely for entertainment purposes and should not be viewed as a means of generating income or resolving financial issues. It is essential for players to approach gambling with a clear understanding of the potential risks involved and to engage in gaming activities responsibly.

Self-Control Tools

Race96 provides various self-control tools to help players maintain responsible gambling habits. These tools are designed to provide players with greater control over their gaming activities.

• Deposit limits allow players to set a maximum amount they can deposit within a specific timeframe, helping to manage their spending.
• Loss limits enable players to define the maximum amount they are willing to lose during a gaming session.
• Wagering limits restrict the total amount that can be wagered on games over a set period.
• Session time limits allow players to specify how long they wish to play in a single session, promoting breaks and preventing excessive play.
• Cooling-off periods can be implemented by players who wish to take a temporary break from gambling for a set duration.
• Self-exclusion options are available for players who feel they need a more extended break from gaming, allowing them to restrict access to their accounts for a specified period or indefinitely.

Self-Assessment

To help players reflect on their gambling behavior, Race96 encourages self-assessment through a structured list of questions. Players can consider the following reflective questions:

1. Do I often gamble to escape from stress or emotional discomfort?
2. Have I ever felt the need to gamble with larger amounts of money to feel satisfied?
3. Am I preoccupied with thoughts about gambling or planning my next session?
4. Do I find myself chasing losses or trying to win back money I have lost?
5. Have I ever lied to friends or family about the amount of time or money I spend gambling?
6. Is my gambling affecting my relationships, work, or finances?
7. Have I ever felt remorse or guilt after gambling?

Answering these questions can help players identify early signs of problematic gambling behavior.

Early Warning Signs of Problematic Gambling Behavior

Recognizing early warning signs is crucial for maintaining responsible gambling habits. Some common signs include:

• Increasing frequency of gambling sessions
• Gambling larger amounts of money than intended
• Neglecting responsibilities or relationships due to gambling
• Feeling anxious or irritable when unable to gamble
• Using gambling as a way to cope with personal issues or stress
• Hiding gambling activities from others

If players identify any of these signs, it is essential to take immediate action.

Taking Immediate Action

If players feel that they are losing control of their gambling activities, it is important to take steps to regain control. Players can:

• Set deposit limits or other self-control tools immediately through their account settings.
• Take a break or implement a cooling-off period to step away from gambling activities.
• Seek support from trusted friends or family members to discuss their feelings and concerns.
• Reach out to professional support organizations for guidance and assistance.

Race96 is committed to preventing underage access to its platform. Several safeguards and procedures are in place to ensure compliance with legal requirements related to age verification.

• Age verification processes are implemented during account registration, requiring players to provide valid identification.
• KYC (Know Your Customer) checks are conducted to confirm the identity and age of players before they can access real-money gaming options.
• The platform employs responsible messaging and educational materials to inform players about the legal gambling age in Australia.

Account Restriction and Self-Exclusion Mechanisms

Race96 facilitates account restriction and self-exclusion mechanisms to ensure players can take proactive steps if they feel overwhelmed.

• Players can initiate self-exclusion through their account settings, choosing a period that suits their needs.
• During self-exclusion, players will not have access to their accounts, and marketing communications will cease.
• Account restrictions can be applied at any time, allowing players to set specific limits or temporarily suspend their accounts.
