Responsible Gaming

Gaming Should Be Entertainment, Not Income

Live dealer casinos are designed for entertainment purposes only. Gambling should never be considered a way to earn money or solve financial problems. Always gamble within your means and only with money you can afford to lose.

At asfla.org.au, we are committed to promoting responsible gaming practices and supporting players in maintaining a healthy relationship with online gambling.

Age Verification

You must be 18 years of age or older to gamble in Australia. This is a legal requirement under Australian gambling regulations. If you are under 18, please do not access any gambling services or place any bets.

All reputable live dealer casinos require identity verification to confirm your age before allowing you to play.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

If you experience any of the following, you may be developing a gambling problem:

• Chasing losses by gambling more to recover money you've lost
• Spending more time or money on gambling than intended
• Hiding your gambling activity from family, friends, or partners
• Gambling to escape problems, stress, or negative emotions
• Borrowing money or using credit to fund gambling
• Neglecting work, study, family, or social responsibilities due to gambling
• Feeling anxious or irritable when trying to cut back on gambling
• Unsuccessful attempts to reduce or control gambling
• Lying about the extent of your gambling
• Experiencing financial difficulties due to gambling

If any of these apply to you, help is available.

Self-Help Tools & Player Protection Features

Most reputable live dealer casinos offer tools to help you maintain control:

• Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit in a given period (daily, weekly, or monthly)
• Loss Limits: Restrict the maximum amount you can lose during a specific timeframe
• Reality Checks: Receive reminders during gaming sessions about how long you've been playing and how much you've spent
• Session Limits: Automatically end your gaming session after a set duration
• Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently exclude yourself from accessing gambling services
• Account Closure: Close your account permanently if you choose to stop gambling
