Responsible Gaming
Gambling Should Be Entertainment, Not Income
Live 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 edge, and you should only gamble with money you can afford to lose. Set realistic expectations and play for fun, not profit.
Age Verification
You must be at least 18 years of age (or the legal gambling age in your state or territory) to access and use live casino services. It is illegal for minors to gamble in Australia. If you are under the legal age, please do not participate in gambling activities.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
If you recognise any of these signs in yourself or someone you know, help is available:
- Constantly chasing losses by gambling more to recover money lost
- Hiding gambling activity or lying about the amount of time and money spent gambling
- Feeling anxious, irritable, or restless when trying to cut down or stop gambling
- Gambling to escape problems, stress, anxiety, or depression
- Neglecting family, work, or other important responsibilities due to gambling
- Borrowing money to fund gambling or gambling with money needed for essentials
- Experiencing relationship conflicts related to gambling habits
- Failed attempts to reduce or control gambling behaviour
- Increasing bet amounts to achieve the same level of excitement
- Feeling a sense of lost control over gambling decisions
