Responsible Gaming
Gaming Should Be Entertainment
At Fair Go Casino Australia, we believe that gambling should be enjoyed as entertainment only—not as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. While gaming can be fun and exciting, it's important to gamble responsibly and within your means. Always remember: the house has an edge, and you should only wager what you can afford to lose.
Age Verification
Fair Go Casino Australia is only available to persons aged 18 years and over, or the legal gambling age in your Australian state or territory, whichever is higher. By accessing this site, you confirm that you meet the legal age requirement to gamble in your jurisdiction. If you are under the legal age, please do not participate in online gambling.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
Problem gambling can develop gradually. If you recognize any of the following signs in yourself or someone you know, it may be time to seek help:
- Chasing losses: Gambling more to try to recover money you've lost
- Hiding gambling: Being secretive about how much you gamble or the money you've spent
- Loss of control: Being unable to stop gambling once you've started, or gambling for longer than intended
- Neglecting responsibilities: Missing work, school, or family obligations due to gambling
- Borrowing money: Taking out loans, using credit cards, or borrowing from family to fund gambling
- Relationship strain: Gambling is causing arguments or tension with family, friends, or partners
- Increasing stakes: Needing to bet larger amounts to achieve the same excitement
- Mood changes: Becoming irritable, anxious, or depressed when not gambling
- Failed attempts to quit: Making unsuccessful efforts to cut back or stop gambling
- Escape motive: Using gambling to escape problems, stress, or negative emotions
Self-Help Tools & Responsible Gaming Features
Most reputable online casinos, including those operating in Australia, offer tools to help you maintain control. Consider using:
- Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit within a specific time period (daily, weekly, or monthly)
- Loss Limits: Establish a cap on how much you're willing to lose over a set timeframe
- Reality Checks: Enable popup reminders at regular intervals to check how long you've been playing
- Session Timers: Set time limits for each gaming session to avoid extended play
- Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently exclude yourself from your gaming account if you need a break
- Account Cooling-Off Period: Request a mandatory break before accessing your account again
If your chosen casino doesn't offer these tools, or if you feel you need additional support, please reach out to one of the organizations listed below.
