Responsible Gaming
Introduction
At Hudson Plumbing Services NSW, we're committed to promoting responsible gaming practices. Gaming should be enjoyed as entertainment only, not as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. Please gamble within your means and only with money you can afford to lose.
Age Verification
Gaming is strictly for adults aged 18 years and over in Australia. If you are under 18, or the applicable legal gaming age in your jurisdiction, you must not participate in any gaming activities. We take age verification seriously and reserve the right to request proof of age at any time.

- Gambling with money needed for essentials (rent, food, bills)
- Hiding gambling activities or lying about time spent gaming
- Neglecting family, work, or personal responsibilities due to gaming
- Feeling anxious, irritable, or depressed when not gaming
- Needing to gamble larger amounts for the same level of excitement
- Failed attempts to cut back or stop gaming
- Borrowing money to fund gaming activities
- Gaming to escape problems or negative emotions
