Responsible Gaming
Play for Entertainment
At Maheading, we believe gambling should be enjoyed as entertainment only. Gambling is not a way to earn money or solve financial problems. Always gamble with money you can afford to lose, and never view it as an investment or income source.
Age Verification
We are committed to preventing underage gambling. You must be 18 years of age or older to access and use our services, as required by Australian law. By using Maheading, you confirm that you meet these age requirements.
If you are under 18, please do not use this website. Parents and guardians: if you have concerns about a young person's online gambling, contact the support organisations listed below.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
Be aware of these common indicators that gambling may be becoming a problem:
- Chasing losses by gambling more to recover money lost
- Spending more money or time gambling than intended
- Hiding gambling activity from family, friends, or partners
- Gambling to escape problems, stress, or negative emotions
- Borrowing money to fund gambling activities
- Experiencing mood swings related to winning or losing
- Neglecting work, school, family, or personal relationships due to gambling
- Being unable to cut back or stop gambling despite trying
- Lying about the time or money spent on gambling
- Experiencing financial difficulties or debt as a result of gambling
If you recognise any of these signs in yourself or someone you know, please seek help immediately.
