Responsible Gaming
Our Commitment to Responsible Gaming
At The Wood People, we are committed to promoting responsible gaming practices. Gambling should be enjoyed as entertainment only, never as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. If you choose to gamble, please do so responsibly and within your means.
Age Verification
Online gambling in Australia is restricted to individuals aged 18 years and over. We are committed to preventing underage gambling and implement strict age verification procedures. By accessing our betting site, you confirm that you are at least 18 years old and meet all legal requirements in your jurisdiction.
If you are under 18, please do not use this service.
