Responsible Gaming
Gambling Should Be Entertainment, Not Income
Online casino gaming should be enjoyed as a form of entertainment only. It is never a reliable way to earn money or solve financial problems. Please gamble only with money you can afford to lose, and always set limits before you play.
Age Verification
You must be at least 18 years old (or the legal gambling age in your jurisdiction) to use online casino services. If you are under the legal age, please do not gamble. Parents and guardians should monitor young people's internet use.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
If you recognise any of the following signs, please seek help immediately:
- Spending more money or time gambling than intended
- Chasing losses by gambling more to recover money lost
- Hiding gambling activity from family, friends, or partners
- Gambling to escape stress, anxiety, or negative emotions
- Neglecting work, study, family, or personal relationships due to gambling
- Borrowing money or going into debt to fund gambling
- Lying about the amount of time or money spent gambling
- Failed attempts to cut down or stop gambling
- Feeling irritable or restless when trying to reduce gambling
- Using gambling as a way to solve financial problems
Self-Help Tools & Responsible Gaming Features
Most reputable online casinos offer tools to help you stay in control:
- Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit within a specific timeframe (daily, weekly, or monthly)
- Loss Limits: Set a maximum amount you're willing to lose in a session or period
- Reality Checks: Enable reminders during gaming sessions to help you keep track of time and spending
- Time-Out (Cool Off Period): Temporarily suspend your account for a set period without closing it permanently
- Self-Exclusion: Permanently close your account and exclude yourself from gambling at participating operators
Use these tools proactively to maintain control over your gambling habits.
