Responsible Gaming

Gambling Should Be Entertainment, Not Income

Online casinos and gaming should only be enjoyed as a form of entertainment. Never view gambling as a way to make money, pay bills, or solve financial problems. The odds are always in favour of the house, and there is no guaranteed way to win. Gamble only with money you can afford to lose.

Age Verification

In Australia, you must be at least 18 years of age to gamble legally. If you are under 18, please do not access online casino services. If you are aware of a minor gambling online, please report this to the relevant authorities.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

If you recognise any of the following signs, you may have a gambling problem. Please seek help immediately:

• Chasing losses by gambling more to recover money you've lost
• Hiding your gambling activities from family, friends, or partners
• Gambling with money allocated for essential expenses (rent, bills, food)
• Neglecting work, school, or personal relationships due to gambling
• Experiencing mood swings or irritability when not gambling
• Lying about the amount of time or money spent gambling
• Using gambling to escape stress, anxiety, or depression
• Borrowing money to gamble or pay gambling debts
• Being unable to stick to predetermined gambling limits
• Feeling the need to gamble with increasing amounts to achieve the same excitement

Self-Help Tools & Limits

Most reputable online casinos offer tools to help you gamble responsibly:

• Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit over a specific period (daily, weekly, monthly)
• Loss Limits: Set a maximum amount you're willing to lose before stopping for the day
• Reality Checks: Enable pop-up reminders showing how long you've been playing and how much you've spent
• Session Time Limits: Set automatic session timeouts to prevent extended play
• Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently exclude yourself from an online casino or multiple casinos

Use these tools proactively and honestly assess your gambling habits.
