Responsible Gaming

Our Commitment to Responsible Gaming

At Metro Lawn Tennis, we believe that gambling should be enjoyed as entertainment only, not as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. We are committed to promoting responsible gaming practices and supporting players who may be experiencing difficulties.

Age Verification

Online gambling in Australia is only available to individuals aged 18 years and over (or the legal age of majority in your state or territory). By accessing our site and participating in any gaming activities, you confirm that you meet this age requirement. We may request verification of your age at any time.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

If you experience any of the following, you may be developing a gambling problem. Please seek help immediately:

• Gambling with money you cannot afford to lose
• Chasing losses by gambling more to recover money lost
• Hiding your gambling activities from family or friends
• Gambling to escape problems, stress, or negative emotions
• Spending more time or money on gambling than intended
• Borrowing money or using credit to fund gambling
• Neglecting work, school, or family responsibilities due to gambling
• Feeling anxious or irritable when unable to gamble
• Increasing the amount wagered to achieve the same excitement
• Failed attempts to reduce or stop gambling
