Responsible Gaming
Gambling Should Be Entertainment, Not Income
At What About Health, we're committed to promoting responsible gaming practices. Gambling should only ever be viewed as a form of entertainment with money you can afford to lose—never as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. If you're accessing Fair Go Casino or any online gaming platform, please gamble responsibly and within your means.
Age Verification
Online gambling in Australia is only legal for persons aged 18 years and over. By accessing Fair Go Casino or any gambling service through our website, you confirm that you are at least 18 years of age and meet all legal requirements in your jurisdiction.
If you are under 18, please do not gamble. If you're concerned about a young person's gambling, contact the support services listed below.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
Problem gambling can develop gradually. If you recognise any of these warning signs in yourself or someone you know, it may be time to seek help:
- Chasing losses: Trying to win back money you've lost by gambling more
- Hiding gambling: Keeping your gambling activity secret from family or friends
- Loss of control: Gambling longer or with more money than intended
- Neglecting responsibilities: Missing work, school, or family obligations due to gambling
- Increasing stakes: Needing to bet more money to achieve the same level of excitement
- Financial problems: Borrowing money or going into debt to gamble
- Mood changes: Becoming irritable or anxious when unable to gamble
- Failed attempts to quit: Repeatedly trying and failing to reduce or stop gambling
- Using gambling to escape: Gambling to relieve stress, anxiety, or depression
- Withdrawal symptoms: Feeling restless or anxious when not gambling
Self-Help Tools & Responsible Gaming Features
Most reputable online casinos, including Fair Go Casino, offer tools to help you stay in control:
- Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you're willing to deposit within a specific timeframe (daily, weekly, or monthly)
- Loss Limits: Set a maximum amount you're prepared to lose before stopping play
- Time Limits: Set session time limits to remind you when you've been playing for a certain period
- Reality Checks: Enable reminders that pop up during play to help you stay aware of time and money spent
- Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently exclude yourself from gambling sites when you need a break
We encourage you to use these tools proactively. They're designed to help you maintain control and enjoy gaming responsibly.
