Gambling Should Be Entertainment
At Luckywave, we believe gambling should be enjoyed as a form of entertainment only, not as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. There is always a risk of losing money when you gamble, and you should only ever bet what you can afford to lose.
Age Verification
You must be at least 18 years old (or the legal gambling age in your jurisdiction) to use Luckywave. We take age verification seriously and conduct checks to ensure all players meet the legal requirements. If you are under the legal age, you must not gamble.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
If you recognise any of the following signs in yourself or someone you know, problem gambling may be developing:
- Spending more time or money gambling than intended
- Chasing losses by gambling more to try to recover money lost
- Hiding gambling activity from family, friends or partners
- Borrowing money or getting into debt to fund gambling
- Neglecting work, education, family or social commitments due to gambling
- Feeling anxious, irritable or restless when not gambling
- Gambling to escape stress, worry or negative feelings
- Unsuccessful attempts to cut down or stop gambling
- Lying to others about the extent of gambling activity
- Experiencing physical or mental health problems related to gambling
