Responsible Gaming
Gambling Should Be Entertainment, Not Income
At Fair Go Casino Australia, we believe gambling should only ever be viewed as a form of entertainment, similar to going to the movies or attending a sporting event. It should never be considered a way to earn money or solve financial problems. Always gamble with money you can afford to lose, and set strict limits on both time and expenditure before you start playing.
Age Verification
Fair Go Casino Australia is strictly for adults aged 18 years and over or the legal gambling age in your Australian state or territory, whichever is higher. We are committed to preventing underage gambling. If you are under 18, please do not attempt to create an account or participate in any gambling activities on our platform.
If you are a parent or guardian concerned about a young person's online activity, please speak with them about responsible internet use.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
Please be honest with yourself and watch for these warning signs:
- Chasing losses: Continuing to gamble in an attempt to recover money you've lost
- Hiding your gambling: Being secretive about how much time or money you spend gambling
- Increasing stakes: Needing to gamble with larger amounts to get the same excitement
- Failed attempts to cut back: Repeatedly trying and failing to limit your gambling
- Neglecting responsibilities: Gambling instead of attending work, school, or caring for family
- Using gambling to escape: Gambling to cope with stress, anxiety, depression, or other problems
- Borrowing to gamble: Using loans, credit cards, or borrowed money to fund gambling
- Relationship strain: Conflicts with family or friends about your gambling
- Financial problems: Missing bills or facing financial difficulties due to gambling
- Mood changes: Becoming irritable or anxious when unable to gamble
If you recognize any of these signs in your own behaviour, it's important to seek help immediately.
Self-Help Tools & Responsible Gaming Features
Most reputable casinos, including Fair Go Casino Australia, offer tools to help you stay in control:
- Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount of money you can deposit within a specific time period (daily, weekly, or monthly)
- Loss Limits: Set a maximum amount you're willing to lose during a gaming session
- Session Time Limits: Automatically log you out after a set period to prevent extended play
- Reality Checks: Receive regular reminders of how long you've been playing and how much you've spent
- Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently exclude yourself from accessing your account and all gambling services
- Account Closure: Permanently close your account if you wish to stop gambling entirely
We encourage all players to use these tools proactively. There is no shame in setting limits—it's a sign of responsible gambling.
