Responsible Gaming
Gambling Should Be Entertainment
At Mira Nodes, we believe betting and gambling should be enjoyed as a form of entertainment only. Gambling is not a way to earn money or solve financial problems. It carries real risks, and losses should always be considered the cost of entertainment, just like cinema tickets or dining out.
We are committed to promoting responsible gambling practices and supporting our Australian users in betting safely.
Age Verification
All users must be 18 years of age or older to use betting apps and access gambling services in Australia. We verify age during account registration and reserve the right to request identification documents at any time.
If you are under 18, please do not attempt to create an account. Gambling by minors is illegal and harmful.
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
- Gambling with money needed for essentials (rent, bills, food)
- Hiding gambling activity from family, friends, or partners
- Spending more time and money gambling than intended
- Experiencing mood swings or irritability when not gambling
- Needing to gamble larger amounts to achieve the same excitement
- Unable to cut back or stop gambling despite trying
- Borrowing money or using credit to fund gambling
- Neglecting work, school, or family responsibilities
- Lying to others about gambling activity or losses
If you recognise these signs, seek help immediately. Support is available.
Self-Help Tools & Controls
Responsible betting apps, including those featured on Mira Nodes, offer built-in tools to help you stay in control:
- Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit in a specified time period (daily, weekly, monthly)
- Loss Limits: Cap your losses to a predetermined amount
- Reality Checks: Receive notifications during gaming sessions to remind you how long you've been playing
- Time-Out: Take a temporary break from gambling for a set period (hours to weeks)
- Self-Exclusion: Permanently or temporarily exclude yourself from an app or multiple platforms
Use these tools proactively. Most reputable betting apps make these features easily accessible in account settings.
