Responsible Gaming
Gambling Should Be Entertainment, Not Income
We want to remind all our visitors that gambling should only ever be viewed as a form of entertainment, similar to going to the cinema or watching a sports event. It should never be considered as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. Casino games are designed with a mathematical house edge, meaning that over time, the odds favour the casino. Only gamble with money you can afford to lose, and never chase losses or spend more than your budget allows.
Age Verification
You must be 18 years of age or over (or the legal gambling age in your jurisdiction) to gamble. Gambling by minors is illegal. If you are under 18, we urge you not to use gambling services. Parents and guardians are encouraged to use parental controls and monitoring software to prevent underage access to gambling websites.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
If you recognise any of the following behaviours in yourself or someone you know, it may indicate a problem with gambling:
- Spending more time or money on gambling than intended
- Chasing losses by gambling more to recover money lost
- Hiding gambling activity or lying about the amount wagered
- Neglecting family, work, or other responsibilities due to gambling
- Feeling anxious, irritable, or depressed when not gambling
- Borrowing money to fund gambling activities
- Attempting to reduce gambling but failing to do so
- Using gambling to escape problems or negative emotions
- Gambling with increasing amounts of money to achieve the same level of excitement
- Experiencing relationship conflicts due to gambling
If you've noticed any of these signs, please reach out for support immediately.
Self-Help Tools and Controls
Many responsible gambling operators provide tools to help you maintain control:
- Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit within a specific time period (daily, weekly, or monthly)
- Loss Limits: Set a maximum amount you're willing to lose before you stop gambling
- Session Time Limits: Restrict how long you can play in a single session
- Reality Checks: Enable reminders that pop up during play to help you stay aware of time and money spent
- Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently exclude yourself from gambling accounts and websites
We encourage you to use these tools if you feel your gambling may be becoming problematic.
