Responsible Gaming
Our Commitment to Responsible Gaming
At Richard Casino Australia, we are committed to promoting responsible gaming practices. Gambling should be enjoyed as entertainment only, never as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. We encourage all players to gamble within their means and to seek help if they develop unhealthy gambling habits.
Age Verification
All players must be at least 18 years of age or the legal gambling age in their jurisdiction, whichever is higher. 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 gamble.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
Problem gambling can develop without warning. Please be aware of these common warning signs:
- Chasing losses by gambling more to recover money you've lost
- Hiding your gambling activities from family, friends, or partners
- Gambling with money needed for essential expenses (rent, bills, food)
- Experiencing mood swings related to gambling wins or losses
- Spending more time and money on gambling than intended
- Neglecting work, study, or family responsibilities due to gambling
- Borrowing money to fund gambling activities
- Feeling anxious or irritable when unable to gamble
- Failed attempts to cut down or control gambling
- Using gambling as an escape from stress, anxiety, or depression
If you recognise any of these warning signs in yourself or someone you know, please seek help immediately.
Self-Help Tools
Most online casinos and gambling platforms offer self-help tools to support responsible gaming. These tools include:
- Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit within a specific timeframe (daily, weekly, or monthly)
- Loss Limits: Set a maximum amount you are willing to lose in a specific period
- Reality Checks: Receive regular reminders about how long you've been playing and how much you've wagered
- Time Limits: Set a maximum amount of time you can play in a single session
- Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently exclude yourself from gambling for a period you specify
- Account Closure: Permanently close your account if you wish to stop gambling entirely
We encourage you to use these tools to maintain control over your gambling activities.
