Responsible Gaming

Gaming Should Be Entertainment, Not Income

Online gambling should only ever be viewed as a form of entertainment, similar to going to the cinema or attending a sporting event. It should never be considered as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. The house always has an edge, and there is no guaranteed way to win. Please gamble only with money you can afford to lose.

Age Verification

All gambling in Australia is strictly regulated and must comply with both federal and state legislation. You must be 18 years of age or older to participate in online gambling in Australia. It is illegal for anyone under 18 to gamble online or at physical venues. All reputable online casinos verify player age before allowing account creation and deposits.

If you are under the legal age, please do not attempt to gamble. If you have concerns about a young person's gambling habits, contact the support organisations listed below.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

Problem gambling can develop gradually. If you recognise any of these warning signs in your own behaviour, please seek help immediately:

• Chasing losses by gambling more to recover money lost
• Gambling with increasing amounts of money to achieve the same excitement
• Hiding your gambling activity from family, friends, or partners
• Neglecting work, study, or family responsibilities due to gambling
• Experiencing mood swings or irritability when unable to gamble
• Using gambling to escape stress, anxiety, or depression
• Borrowing money or going into debt to fund gambling
• Failed attempts to cut down or stop gambling
• Lying about the time or money spent gambling
• Jeopardising relationships, education, or career opportunities

Self-Help Tools & Safer Gambling Features

Responsible online casinos provide tools to help you maintain control. We encourage you to use these features:

• Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit within a specified time period (daily, weekly, or monthly)
• Loss Limits: Set a cap on how much you're willing to lose over a given period
• Reality Checks: Receive periodic reminders of how long you've been playing and how much you've spent
• Time-Out/Cool-Off Period: Take a break from gambling for a set period (hours, days, or weeks) while keeping your account active
• Self-Exclusion: Voluntarily exclude yourself from gambling for an extended period (typically 6 months to 5 years). During this time, you cannot access your account or be contacted by the operator for marketing purposes
• Account Closure: Permanently close your account if you wish to stop gambling entirely

Use these tools proactively. They are designed to protect you and promote responsible gaming.
