Responsible Gaming

Gambling Should Be Entertainment, Not Income

At United Champions Cup, we're committed to promoting responsible gambling practices. Betting should be viewed as a form of entertainment with money you can afford to lose—never as a way to make money or solve financial problems.

If you're using gambling to cope with stress, anxiety, or other difficult emotions, please reach out to the support services listed below.

Age Verification

All gambling sites operating in Australia must verify that users are at least 18 years of age. If you are under 18, you are not permitted to gamble or place bets. We take age verification seriously and reserve the right to request proof of identity at any time.

If you become aware of any underage gambling activity, please report it to the relevant operator immediately.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

Problem gambling can develop gradually. If you notice any of the following signs in yourself or someone you know, it may be time to seek help:

• Chasing losses by gambling more money to recover what you've lost
• Spending more time and money on gambling than intended
• Hiding gambling activity from family, friends, or partners
• Feeling anxious, irritable, or restless when not gambling
• Neglecting work, study, family, or social responsibilities
• Borrowing money to fund gambling activities
• Lying about the extent of your gambling
• Gambling to escape problems or difficult emotions
• Failed attempts to cut back or stop gambling
• Experiencing financial difficulties due to gambling

If you recognise any of these signs, reach out for support immediately.

Self-Help Tools & Controls

Most reputable betting operators provide tools to help you maintain control of your gambling:

• Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit in a day, week, or month
• Loss Limits: Set a maximum amount you're willing to lose in a given period
• Reality Checks: Receive reminders of how long you've been gambling and how much you've spent
• Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently exclude yourself from a betting site
• Cooling-Off Periods: Take a mandatory break from gambling for a set duration

Use these tools proactively. Setting limits before you gamble is more effective than trying to control yourself once you've started.
