Responsible Gaming
Gaming Should Be Entertainment
At PlayAmo, we believe that online gaming should be enjoyed as a form of entertainment only. Gambling is never a way to earn money or solve financial problems. It should always be viewed as spending money for entertainment, much like going to the movies or other leisure activities. Only gamble with money you can afford to lose.
Age Verification
Online gaming in Australia is only available to individuals who are 18 years of age or older. PlayAmo takes age verification seriously and requires all players to confirm they meet the legal age requirement in their jurisdiction before creating an account or placing any bets.
By accessing PlayAmo, you confirm that you are at least 18 years of age.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
Problem gambling can develop gradually. Be aware of these warning signs:
- Chasing losses by gambling more to recover money you've lost
- Hiding your gambling activities from family, friends, or partners
- Gambling with money needed for essentials (rent, bills, food)
- Gambling for longer periods or with larger amounts than intended
- Experiencing mood swings or irritability when unable to gamble
- Neglecting work, studies, or personal relationships due to gambling
- Borrowing money to fund gambling activities
- Feeling anxious, stressed, or depressed about your gambling
- Failed attempts to cut back or stop gambling
- Using gambling as an escape from problems or negative emotions
If you recognise any of these signs in yourself or someone you know, help is available.
