GENERAL INFORMATION

This Responsible Gaming Policy (“Policy”) is issued by The Oz Jackpot Hunter website, the operator of the Oz Jackpot Hunter platform (https://ozjackpothunter.com), a licensed digital service enabling Australian users to purchase and manage official lottery entries online. The company operates independently as a digital courier and account management service for state and national lottery products, fulfilled through authorised retail channels in Australia. All platform activities are governed by applicable Commonwealth, State and Territory laws and regulatory codes, including the Interactive Gambling Act 2001 (Cth), the Northern Territory Code of Practice for Responsible Gambling, and consumer protection requirements under the Competition and Consumer Act 2010 (Cth).

Oz Jackpot Hunter facilitates participation in official, government-regulated Australian lottery draws. Each entry corresponds to a genuine lottery ticket purchased on behalf of the user, in the user’s name, from an authorised Australian lottery retailer. The Oz Jackpot Hunter website does not operate a betting service, does not offer odds-based wagering products, and does not provide speculative or derivative gambling instruments.

The company recognises and accepts its legal, ethical, and social responsibilities to prevent gambling-related harm. This Policy sets out the mandatory safeguards, control mechanisms, behavioural guidelines, and support systems implemented to uphold a high standard of responsible gaming conduct. The Policy is subject to periodic review and will be updated in response to regulatory amendments, operational risk factors, or systemic incidents.

1. USER ELIGIBILITY AND AGE VERIFICATION

Access to The Oz Jackpot Hunter website is strictly limited to individuals who have reached the legal age of 18 years. Persons under 18 are not permitted to access, register for, or use any functionality of the platform.

Age declarations are required at registration and are subject to verification using Know Your Customer (KYC) protocols. The platform utilises a combination of electronic verification tools and documentary authentication of government-issued identification documents to validate the user’s legal eligibility.

The Oz Jackpot Hunter website reserves the right to request additional identity verification documents where initial verification attempts are inconclusive, unsuccessful, or where account activity presents heightened risk indicators. Failure to complete the identity verification process will result in denial of service access and account deactivation.

Users who are identified as being under the age of 18 will have their accounts terminated without notice, all access revoked, and relevant authorities may be notified in accordance with applicable legal obligations.


2. PLATFORM CONTROLS AND PLAYER PROTECTIONS

Oz Jackpot Hunter provides users with a suite of voluntary control tools designed to support self-regulation and mitigate the risk of gambling-related harm. These include:

All control tools are accessible through the account management section of the platform or via direct request to customer service at support@ozjackpothunter.com.


3. SELF-EXCLUSION AND NATIONAL REGISTER INTEGRATION

Oz Jackpot Hunter fully supports and complies with BetStop — the National Self-Exclusion Register established under Commonwealth law.

Users may self-exclude by registering through the BetStop portal (www.betstop.gov.au) or by requesting exclusion directly through the platform. Once a user is listed on the National Self-Exclusion Register, they are legally barred from accessing or using any licensed gambling service in Australia, including this platform, for the duration of the selected exclusion period.

Oz Jackpot Hunter performs automated register checks against BetStop during user onboarding and prior to relevant transactional events. Internal self-exclusion registers are also maintained in compliance with the Northern Territory Code of Practice for Responsible Gambling.

All self-exclusion decisions are legally binding and irreversible for the duration specified by the user. The company strongly encourages individuals experiencing loss of control or other risk indicators to utilise this facility.


4. WARNING SIGNS AND USER RISK INDICATORS

While lottery participation is generally considered a low-intensity gambling activity, Oz Jackpot Hunter acknowledges that some users may exhibit problematic behaviour patterns or experience harm.

The platform continuously monitors transactional activity and behavioural signals for red flags, including but not limited to:

Where such patterns are identified, the platform may, at its sole discretion:

Monitoring activities are conducted exclusively for regulatory compliance and harm minimisation purposes. No behavioural data is used for direct marketing, personalised advertising, profiling, or automated decision-making.


5. FORMAL SELF-ASSESSMENT PROTOCOL

Oz Jackpot Hunter provides all users with access to a confidential self-assessment tool derived from the internationally recognised Problem Gambling Severity Index (PGSI).

The tool is designed to assist users in self-evaluating their gambling behaviour and in identifying potential early warning signs. Sample assessment prompts include:

A positive response to any assessment item may indicate a heightened risk of harm. Users are encouraged to implement platform restrictions or consider initiating self-exclusion following a concerning self-assessment outcome.

The tool is available on the Responsible Gaming page of the platform at https://ozjackpothunter.com.

In addition to age verification protocols, the company advises all users to adopt appropriate household protections, including:

Parents and legal guardians are responsible for supervising minors and ensuring that access to gambling services is effectively restricted. Suspected unauthorised access by a minor should be reported to support@ozjackpothunter.com.


8. BEHAVIOURAL GUIDELINES FOR RESPONSIBLE PLAY

Oz Jackpot Hunter promotes a healthy, informed approach to lottery participation. Users are advised to observe the following behavioural standards:

Users should note that lottery outcomes are determined solely by chance and are not influenced by the number of tickets purchased or frequency of play. All draws are conducted independently by official lottery operators and are not subject to influence by The Oz Jackpot Hunter website.
