Responsible Gaming

Gaming Should Be Entertainment, Not Income

Live dealer casino gaming should be enjoyed as a form of entertainment only. It is never a reliable way to earn money or solve financial problems. The house always has a mathematical advantage, and losses are an expected part of the experience. Only gamble with money you can afford to lose, and never view gambling as an investment or income source.

Age Verification

You must be at least 18 years of age (or the legal gambling age in your state or territory) to participate in online gambling in Australia. It is illegal for anyone under this age to gamble. If you are under 18, please leave this website immediately.

Parents and guardians: If you are concerned about a young person's access to gambling sites, please speak with them about responsible gaming and consider using parental controls on devices.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

If you recognise any of the following signs in yourself or someone you know, it may indicate a problem with gambling:

• ☐ Spending more time and money on gambling than intended
• ☐ Constantly thinking about gambling or past gambling sessions
• ☐ Needing to gamble with increasing amounts to achieve the same excitement
• ☐ Becoming irritable or anxious when trying to reduce or stop gambling
• ☐ Gambling to escape problems, stress, anxiety, or depression
• ☐ Chasing losses by gambling more to recover money lost
• ☐ Lying to family, friends, or healthcare providers about gambling activities
• ☐ Hiding gambling or concealing the extent of involvement
• ☐ Using borrowed money, credit cards, or loans to gamble
• ☐ Neglecting work, school, family, or personal responsibilities
• ☐ Experiencing financial difficulties or relationship problems due to gambling
• ☐ Losing control over gambling behaviour

If you tick any of these boxes, please seek help immediately.

Self-Help Tools & Safer Gambling Features

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

• 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 are willing to lose before you stop playing
• Reality Checks: Receive periodic reminders of how long you've been playing and how much you've wagered
• Session Timers: Set automatic time-outs to remind you to take breaks
• Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently block your access to gambling accounts
• Account Closure: Permanently close your account if you wish to stop gambling entirely

Use these tools proactively and adjust them regularly to match your circumstances and budget.
