Responsible Gaming

Introduction

At Ripper Casino, we believe gambling should be enjoyed as entertainment only. Gambling is not a way to earn money or solve financial problems. It carries real risks and should never be viewed as an income source. Please gamble responsibly and only with money you can afford to lose.

Age Verification

You must be 18 years of age or older to gamble in Australia. If you are under the legal gambling age in your jurisdiction, please do not access our services. We take age verification seriously and reserve the right to request proof of identity at any time.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

If you recognise any of the following signs in your behaviour, you may be developing a gambling problem:

• Gambling with money intended for essential expenses (rent, bills, groceries)
• Chasing losses by gambling more to recover money lost
• Hiding gambling activities or lying about the amount of time or money spent
• Feeling anxious, irritable, or depressed when not gambling
• Needing to gamble with increasing amounts of money for the same level of excitement
• Failed attempts to cut down or stop gambling
• Neglecting family, work, education, or relationships due to gambling
• Borrowing money or going into debt to fund gambling
• Experiencing mood swings related to gambling wins and losses
• Using gambling to escape problems or negative emotions

Self-Help Tools

We provide tools to help you maintain control of your gambling:

• Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit within a specified period (daily, weekly, or monthly)
• Loss Limits: Set a limit on the amount you are willing to lose during a gambling session
• Reality Checks: Receive regular reminders of how long you have been gambling and how much you have spent
• Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently close your account if you feel you need a break from gambling
• Time-Out: Take a break from gambling for a period you choose (minimum 24 hours)

Contact our Customer Support team to activate any of these tools.
