Responsible Gaming

Gaming Should Be Entertainment

We believe that online gaming should be an enjoyable form of entertainment, not a way to earn money or solve financial problems. If you choose to play at online casinos, please do so responsibly and within your means.

Remember: the house always has a mathematical advantage. Only gamble with money you can afford to lose, and never view gambling as a source of income.

Age Verification

In Australia, you must be 18 years of age or older to participate in online gambling activities. It is illegal for minors to access gambling services.

All reputable online casinos verify the age and identity of their players before allowing access to gaming accounts. If you are under 18, please do not attempt to register or play.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

Do any of these warning signs apply to you? If so, you may be developing a gambling problem:

• Chasing losses: Continuing to gamble to try to win back money you've lost
• Hiding your gambling: Being secretive about the time or money you spend gambling
• Increased spending: Needing to gamble with larger amounts to get the same excitement
• Failed attempts to quit: Unsuccessful efforts to reduce or stop gambling
• Neglecting responsibilities: Gambling instead of attending to work, school, or family obligations
• Borrowing to gamble: Using credit, loans, or borrowed money to fund gambling activities
• Mood changes: Feeling anxious, irritable, or depressed when not gambling
• Relationship problems: Gambling is causing conflict with family, friends, or partners
• Financial difficulties: Experiencing money problems due to gambling
• Loss of control: Gambling longer or with more money than you intended

If you recognize any of these signs, it's important to seek help immediately.

Self-Help Tools & Responsible Gaming Features

Most reputable online casinos offer tools to help you maintain control of your gambling:

• Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount of money you can deposit within a specific time period (daily, weekly, or monthly)
• Loss Limits: Set a maximum amount of money you're willing to lose over a specific period
• Reality Checks: Receive reminders at regular intervals about how long you've been playing and how much you've spent
• Session Time Limits: Set automatic session timeouts to limit your playing time
• Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently exclude yourself from a casino or multiple casinos
• Account Cooling-Off: Request a temporary suspension of your account to take a break from gambling

We recommend using these tools as part of a responsible gaming strategy. If your casino does not offer these features, consider moving to a more responsible operator.
