Responsible Gaming

Our Commitment to Safe Gaming

At partyforfreedom.org.au, we believe that gambling should be enjoyed purely as entertainment. It is never a reliable way to earn money or solve financial problems. We are committed to promoting responsible gaming practices and supporting the wellbeing of our players.

Age Verification

In Australia, you must be 18 years of age or older to participate in gambling activities. We take age verification seriously and implement strict checks to ensure compliance with Australian law. If you are under 18, please do not access or use live dealer casino services.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

If you recognise any of the following signs in yourself or someone you know, it may indicate a problem with gambling:

• Chasing losses by gambling more to recover money lost
• Hiding gambling activity or lying about the amount of time or money spent gambling
• Neglecting family, work, education, or other important responsibilities due to gambling
• Feeling anxious, irritable, or restless when unable to gamble
• Gambling with money needed for essential expenses such as rent, bills, or food
• Borrowing money or going into debt to fund gambling
• Failed attempts to reduce or stop gambling
• Using gambling to escape problems or cope with negative emotions
• Needing to gamble with increasing amounts of money to achieve the same level of excitement

Self-Help Tools

Most reputable online casinos offer tools to help you maintain control of your gaming. These may include:

• Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit within a specified timeframe (daily, weekly, or monthly)
• Loss Limits: Set a maximum amount you are willing to lose during a session or period
• Reality Checks: Receive regular notifications during play to remind you of time and money spent
• Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently exclude yourself from gambling platforms
• Session Limits: Set a maximum duration for each gaming session

We encourage you to use these tools proactively to stay in control of your gaming experience.
