Responsible gambling
Who can gamble with TuffPuff?
You must be 18 or older. Gambling is for adults only, and the age limit applies wherever you play. This site is an information site and does not take bets, but its pages are written for adults.
Is online gambling in Australia restricted?
Yes. The Interactive Gambling Act 2001 (Cth), enforced by the Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA), makes it illegal to offer some online gambling services to people in Australia. Check what applies to you before you register with any operator.
How do you keep gambling in check?
A few habits help:
- Decide how much you can afford to lose before you start, and treat it as the cost of entertainment.
- Set a time limit and stop when it ends.
- Never chase losses by raising your stakes.
- Do not gamble when you are upset, tired or under the influence of alcohol.
- Keep gambling separate from money you need for bills and rent.
Read bonus conditions before you accept them. The welcome offer is described on this site with wagering of 45x the bonus, which means you must bet a large amount before a bonus can be withdrawn. A bonus is not a reason to gamble more than you planned.
What are the warning signs of a problem?
- You spend more money or time than you meant to.
- You gamble to win back losses.
- You borrow money or hide your gambling from people close to you.
- You feel restless or irritable when you try to stop.
- Gambling affects your work, study or relationships.
If several of these sound familiar, stop and talk to someone.
Where can you get help in Australia?
The National Gambling Helpline (Gambling Help Online) is on 1800 858 858. You can also visit gamblinghelponline.org.au. Both are for anyone worried about their own gambling or someone else's.
To block yourself from licensed online wagering services in Australia, you can register with BetStop, the National Self-Exclusion Register, at betstop.gov.au.
What about the operator's own tools?
Any limits, time-outs or self-exclusion tools on the TuffPuff account itself are set up with the operator, not this site. This site holds no accounts and cannot change them. Ask the operator's support, or see the Contact page for its support channels.
