Responsible Gaming

Gambling Should Be Entertainment

At Bowral Drive, we are committed to promoting responsible gaming practices. Gambling should only ever be viewed as a form of entertainment, not as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. Only gamble with money you can afford to lose, and always set strict limits on how much time and money you spend.

If you live in Australia and choose to participate in online gaming, please do so responsibly and within the laws of your state or territory.

Age Verification

Online gambling is strictly for individuals aged 18 years and over in Australia, or the legal gambling age in your jurisdiction. By accessing this website and any casino services, you confirm that you meet the minimum legal age requirement and accept our terms and conditions.

If you are under 18, please do not attempt to access gambling services. If you are aware of a minor attempting to gamble, please report this to the relevant authorities.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

Please be aware of the following warning signs that may indicate a gambling problem:

• Chasing Losses: Trying to win back money you've lost by gambling more
• Hiding Gambling: Concealing the amount of time or money you spend gambling
• Neglecting Responsibilities: Gambling instead of attending to work, family, or personal obligations
• Increasing Stakes: Needing to gamble with larger amounts to achieve the same level of excitement
• Failed Attempts to Quit: Repeatedly trying and failing to cut back or stop gambling
• Mood Changes: Becoming irritable, anxious, or depressed when not gambling
• Financial Difficulties: Borrowing money or going into debt to fund gambling
• Relationship Strain: Arguments with family or friends about gambling habits
• Using Gambling to Cope: Gambling to escape stress, anxiety, or other emotional problems

If you recognize any of these signs in your own behaviour, please seek help immediately.

Self-Help Tools & Responsible Gaming Features

Many online casinos offer built-in tools to help you stay in control. Consider using the following:

• Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit within a specified time period
• Loss Limits: Set a limit on how much you are willing to lose
• Session Time Limits: Restrict the amount of time you can spend gambling in one session
• Reality Checks: Receive periodic reminders of how long you have been playing and how much you have wagered
• Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently exclude yourself from accessing gambling services
• Account Closure: Close your account if you decide to stop gambling altogether

We strongly encourage you to use these tools. Remember, you are always in control of your decisions.
