Responsible Gaming

Gaming Should Be Entertainment

At 4-12 Karrrakatta Street Blackrock, we believe that gambling should only ever be viewed as a form of entertainment, not as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. Like any entertainment activity, it carries risk and should only be enjoyed with money you can afford to lose.

We are committed to promoting safe and responsible gaming practices and encourage all our players to gamble within their means.

Age Verification

You must be at least 18 years of age or the legal gambling age in your state or territory to access our services. We take age verification seriously and reserve the right to request proof of age at any time.

If you are under the legal gambling age, please do not attempt to register or place bets. Parents and guardians are encouraged to monitor their children's online activities.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

Problem gambling can develop gradually. Please be aware of these warning signs:

• Chasing losses by gambling with increasing amounts of money
• Gambling with money needed for essential expenses (rent, bills, food)
• Hiding gambling activities or lying about the amount of time and money spent
• Neglecting family, work, or other responsibilities due to gambling
• Feeling anxious, irritable, or restless when trying to reduce gambling
• Repeatedly unsuccessful attempts to stop or reduce gambling
• Borrowing money to gamble or pay gambling debts
• Using gambling to escape problems or relieve stress and negative emotions
• Friends or family expressing concern about your gambling habits
• Experiencing depression, anxiety, or other mental health issues related to gambling

If you recognise any of these warning signs in yourself or someone else, please seek help immediately.

• Session Time Limits: Set automatic session timeout periods to encourage regular breaks
