Responsible Gaming
Gaming Should Be Entertainment
At The Captain Beard, we believe that NRL betting should be enjoyed as a form of entertainment, not as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. While we love the excitement of the game, it's important to bet within your means and maintain control.
Remember: the odds always favour the house. Only gamble with money you can afford to lose.
Age Verification
Gambling is only for adults. You must be 18 years of age or older to participate in betting activities in Australia. We are committed to preventing underage gambling and reserve the right to verify age and suspend accounts if needed.
If you are under 18, please do not use our platform.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
Do any of these sound familiar? If so, you may be developing a gambling problem:
- Chasing losses by betting more money to recover what you've lost
- Gambling with money needed for essential expenses (rent, food, bills)
- Hiding your gambling activity from family or friends
- Feeling anxious or irritable when not gambling
- Gambling longer or with more money than you intended
- Borrowing money to gamble
- Neglecting work, study, or relationships due to gambling
- Lying about the amount of time or money spent gambling
- Failed attempts to cut down or stop gambling
- Using gambling to escape problems or negative emotions
If you recognise any of these signs, help is available. Please reach out to one of the support organisations listed below.
Self-Help Tools
We provide tools to help you maintain control of your gambling:
- Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit within a specific timeframe
- Loss Limits: Set a maximum amount you're willing to lose
- Reality Checks: Receive reminders during your betting session about how long you've been gambling
- Session Timeouts: Automatically log out after a set period
- Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently close your account if you need a break
Contact our support team to activate any of these tools, or manage them through your account settings.
