Responsible Gaming
Gaming Should Be Entertainment
At handsoffglebe.org, we believe that online casino gaming should be enjoyed as a form of entertainment only, not as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. If you choose to play, please gamble responsibly and within your means.
Remember: the house always has a mathematical advantage. Only spend what you can afford to lose, and never gamble with money needed for essentials like rent, food, or bills.
Age Verification
You must be at least 18 years of age (or the legal gambling age in your jurisdiction) to participate in online casino gaming in Australia. We are committed to preventing underage gambling and comply with all Australian gaming regulations.
If you are under 18, please do not access our casino partners' sites. If you are aware of a minor gambling, please report this to the relevant authorities.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
Do you recognise any of these signs in yourself or someone you know?
- Chasing losses by gambling more to recover money lost
- Spending more time or money on gambling than intended
- Neglecting family, friends, work, or other responsibilities due to gambling
- Hiding gambling activity or lying about the amount spent
- Feeling anxious, irritable, or guilty about gambling
- Using gambling to escape problems, stress, or negative emotions
- Borrowing money or going into debt to fund gambling
- Attempting to cut back or stop gambling but being unable to do so
- Experiencing relationship problems or conflicts due to gambling
- Thinking about gambling constantly, even when not actively playing
If you identify with any of these signs, help is available. Please reach out to a support organisation immediately.
Self-Help Tools & Controls
Most reputable online casinos offer tools to help you gamble responsibly. These include:
- Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit per day, week, or month
- Loss Limits: Set a maximum amount you are willing to lose in a specified period
- Reality Checks: Receive periodic reminders of how long you have been playing and how much you have spent
- Time-Out/Cool-Off Period: Take a break from gambling for a set period (hours, days, or weeks)
- Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently exclude yourself from accessing casino sites
Use these tools proactively. Set limits before you start playing, and stick to them. If you struggle to control your gambling, self-exclusion is a powerful tool that can help you regain control.
