Responsible Gaming
Introduction
At TFM Fitness, we believe that online gaming should be enjoyed as a form of entertainment only. Gambling is not a way to earn money or solve financial problems. Please gamble responsibly and within your means. Set a budget you can afford to lose and stick to it.
Age Verification
You must be at least 18 years of age (or the legal gambling age in your jurisdiction) to participate in online gaming. We are committed to preventing underage gambling. If you are under the legal age, please do not gamble.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
If you recognise any of the following signs, you may be developing a gambling problem:
- Spending more time and money on gambling than intended
- Chasing losses by gambling more to recover money lost
- Hiding your gambling activities from family, friends, or partners
- Feeling anxious, irritable, or restless when trying to reduce gambling
- Gambling to escape problems, stress, or negative emotions
- Lying about the extent of your gambling
- Borrowing money to gamble or pay gambling debts
- Neglecting work, school, or family responsibilities due to gambling
- Experiencing financial difficulties because of gambling
- Failed attempts to cut back or stop gambling
Self-Help Tools
Most reputable online gaming operators offer responsible gaming tools to help you maintain control:
- Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit within a specified time period
- Loss Limits: Set a maximum amount you're willing to lose in a given timeframe
- Session Time Limits: Automatically log out after a set period of play
- Reality Checks: Receive notifications during play to remind you how long you've been gambling
- Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently exclude yourself from gambling accounts
We encourage you to use these tools proactively as part of your responsible gaming strategy.
