Responsible Gaming
Introduction
At Canberra Antiques, we're committed to promoting responsible gaming. Online casinos and gaming should be enjoyed as entertainment only, not as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. Remember: the house always has an advantage. Only gamble with money you can afford to lose, and never chase your losses.
Age Verification
Australian Requirement: You must be at least 18 years old to access and use online casinos or PayID casino services in Australia. It is your responsibility to verify your age before registering. If you are under the legal gambling age in your jurisdiction, you are not permitted to use these services.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
Do any of these warning signs apply to you? If so, seek help immediately:
- Chasing losses by gambling more to recover money lost
- Gambling with money needed for essential expenses (rent, food, bills)
- Hiding gambling activities or lying about the amount you gamble
- Feeling anxious, irritable, or restless when not gambling
- Gambling for longer periods or with larger amounts than intended
- Neglecting family, work, or personal relationships due to gambling
- Borrowing money to gamble or cover gambling debts
- Failed attempts to reduce or stop gambling
- Using gambling to escape problems or relieve stress
- Experiencing financial difficulties as a result of gambling
Self-Help Tools
Most responsible online casinos offer built-in tools to help you manage your gambling:
- Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit within a specified time period
- Loss Limits: Set a maximum amount you're willing to lose per day, week, or month
- Reality Checks: Receive regular reminders about how long you've been gambling and how much you've spent
- Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently exclude yourself from the casino, preventing access to your account
- Time-Out: Take a break from gambling for a set period without closing your account
