Responsible Gaming
Gaming Should Be Entertainment
At parup.org, we're committed to promoting responsible gambling practices. Remember: gambling should only ever be viewed as entertainment, not as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. Only gamble with money you can afford to lose, and never chase your losses.
Age Verification
You must be at least 18 years of age (or the legal gambling age in your jurisdiction) to access our services. We take age verification seriously and reserve the right to request proof of age at any time.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
If you recognise any of the following behaviours in yourself or someone you know, it may indicate a gambling problem:
- Chasing losses by gambling more to recover money lost
- Lying to friends or family about gambling activities or losses
- Spending more time or money on gambling than intended
- Neglecting work, study, family, or social commitments due to gambling
- Borrowing money to fund gambling or pay off gambling debts
- Feeling anxious, irritable, or restless when trying to reduce gambling
- Using gambling to escape problems or negative emotions
- Failed attempts to cut back or stop gambling
- Experiencing financial difficulties related to gambling
- Gambling with larger amounts to achieve the same level of excitement
