Responsible Gaming

Gaming Should Be Entertainment

At interlakedragway.org, we believe that online gaming should be enjoyed as a form of entertainment only. Casino games are games of chance, and the odds always favour the house. Gaming is never a way to earn money or solve financial problems. Please only gamble with money you can afford to lose, and never chase losses or use gambling as an escape from personal difficulties.

Age Verification

Online casino gaming is strictly for adults only. In Australia, you must be 18 years of age or older to participate in online gaming. We are committed to protecting minors and strictly prohibit access to our services by anyone under the legal age. If you are under 18, please do not access this site.

By accessing our services, you confirm that you are of legal age in your jurisdiction.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

Problem gambling can develop gradually. Please be honest with yourself and look out for these warning signs:

• Spending more money or time gambling than intended
• Chasing losses by gambling more to recover money lost
• Hiding gambling activity or lying about the time and money spent
• Neglecting family, work, or personal responsibilities due to gambling
• Borrowing money or going into debt to gamble
• Feeling anxious, irritable, or depressed when unable to gamble
• Using gambling to escape problems or negative emotions
• Failed attempts to cut down or stop gambling
• Risking important relationships, employment, or opportunities because of gambling
• Experiencing financial difficulties directly caused by gambling

If you recognize any of these signs in yourself or someone you know, it is important to seek help immediately.

Self-Help Tools & Safer Gambling Features

Most responsible online casinos offer tools to help you maintain control of your gaming. We encourage you to use these features:

• Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit in a given time period (daily, weekly, or monthly).
• Loss Limits: Set a maximum amount you are willing to lose in a given time period.
• Session Time Limits: Take regular breaks by setting a time limit for each gaming session.
• Reality Checks: Enable reminders that pop up during play to keep you aware of time and money spent.
• Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently exclude yourself from gaming to take a break or stop entirely.

Please take full advantage of these tools. They are designed to help you stay in control.
