Responsible Gambling at Highflybet
Age Verification and Protection of Minors
Registration at Highflybet is restricted to players aged 18 and over across every Australian state and territory, and identity documents including an Australian driver’s licence, passport or Medicare card are checked during KYC verification to confirm the account holder meets this age requirement. Because verification happens on the account rather than on the device, parents and guardians sharing a household computer, tablet or phone with a minor should apply their own restrictions at the device level, using the parental control or screen-time features built into the operating system, app store or home router, since these tools sit outside Highflybet’s own account controls and are the more effective barrier on a shared device.
How to Set Deposit, Wager and Session Limits
Highflybet gives players direct control over their own activity through deposit limits, loss limits, wager limits, session-length controls, cooling-off periods and full self-exclusion, all managed from the account settings or by contacting support at [email protected]. Tightening any of these limits, such as lowering a daily deposit cap or shortening a session-length control, takes effect immediately once confirmed. Loosening a limit, including raising a deposit cap or ending a cooling-off period early, only takes effect after a cooling-off period has passed, so the account cannot be adjusted back to looser settings in the same session as the request. Self-exclusion closes the account for the period chosen and prevents further deposits or play at Highflybet for that duration.
Signs of Problem Gambling Behaviour
Spending more time or money than planned, chasing losses with larger deposits to try to recover them, borrowing money to fund play, and neglecting work, study or relationships in favour of gambling are common early signs that play has moved from entertainment toward a problem. Feeling irritable or anxious when unable to play, hiding the amount of time or money spent from family members, and using gambling as a way to cope with stress, boredom or other emotional difficulty are further signs worth acting on. Any of these patterns is a reason to use the deposit, session or self-exclusion tools described above, or to contact one of the organisations listed further down this page.
Gambling as Entertainment, Not Income
Gambling at Highflybet should be treated as entertainment with a cost attached, in the same way as a ticket to a sporting event or a night out, rather than as a way to earn money or recover a shortfall in household income. Setting a budget before starting a session, deciding in advance how much is comfortable to lose, and stopping once that amount is reached are more effective than tracking losses during play and adjusting the plan as the session goes on. A win should be treated as a positive outcome within that budget rather than as a signal to increase the amount at risk on the next session.
Help and Support Organisations
Players in Australia who want independent support beyond the tools available directly on this site can contact Gambling Help Online, a free, round-the-clock service on 1800 858 858, or Lifeline for 24-hour crisis support on 13 11 14. BetStop is the National Self-Exclusion Register operated by the Australian Government and covers licensed Australian wagering operators specifically, so it works alongside, rather than instead of, the self-exclusion tool described earlier on this page for closing a Highflybet account directly. Gamblers Anonymous Australia runs peer support groups for players who prefer a group-based approach to recovery.
