Responsible Gaming

Gaming Should Be Entertainment, Not Income

Online casino gaming should be enjoyed as a form of entertainment only. It is not a reliable way to earn money or solve financial problems. All casino games are games of chance with a house edge – this means the odds always favour the casino in the long run. Please gamble only with money you can afford to lose and never view it as an investment or income source.

Age Verification

In Australia, you must be at least 18 years of age to gamble legally online. By accessing and using online casino services, you confirm that you are of legal age in your jurisdiction. If you are under 18, please do not proceed. Underage gambling is illegal and can cause serious harm to young people.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

If you recognise any of the following signs in your behaviour, you may have a gambling problem:

• Constantly thinking about gambling or planning your next gaming session
• Needing to gamble with increasing amounts of money to achieve the same excitement
• Repeatedly trying to cut back or stop gambling without success
• Chasing losses by gambling more to recover money you've lost
• Hiding your gambling activities from family, friends, or partners
• Gambling to escape problems, stress, anxiety, or depression
• Neglecting work, study, family, or social responsibilities due to gambling
• Borrowing money or going into debt to finance gambling
• Lying about the amount of time or money spent gambling
• Experiencing mood changes (irritability, anxiety) when not gambling
• Jeopardising relationships, education, or career opportunities

If you identify with several of these signs, help is available. Please reach out to a support organisation today.

Self-Help Tools & Responsible Gaming Features

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

• Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit within a specified time period (daily, weekly, or monthly)
• Loss Limits: Set a maximum amount you're willing to lose during a session or time period
• Reality Checks: Receive regular reminders of how long you've been playing and how much you've spent
• Session Time Limits: Automatically log out after a set period of time
• Self-Exclusion: Take a break from gambling by self-excluding from a casino for a defined period

Use these tools proactively. They are designed to help you gamble responsibly and maintain control.
