Responsible Gaming
Introduction
At thatplaceny.com, we believe gambling should be enjoyed as entertainment only, not as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. While casino games can be fun and exciting, it's important to understand that the house always has an edge, and losing is always a possibility.
Please gamble responsibly and only with money you can afford to lose.
Age Verification
Gambling is only legal for individuals who are 18 years of age or older in Australia, or the legal gambling age in your jurisdiction. By accessing casino content on this website, you confirm that you meet the minimum legal age requirement in your location.
If you are under the legal gambling age, please do not participate in any gambling activities.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
Problem gambling can develop gradually. Be aware of these warning signs:
- Chasing losses by gambling more to recover money lost
- Gambling with money intended for bills, rent, or essential expenses
- Hiding gambling activities from family or friends
- Feeling anxious or irritable when unable to gamble
- Needing to gamble with increasing amounts of money to achieve the same excitement
- Failed attempts to cut back or stop gambling
- Lying about the time or money spent gambling
- Gambling to escape problems or negative emotions
- Borrowing money to gamble or pay gambling debts
- Neglecting work, school, or family responsibilities due to gambling
If you recognize any of these signs in your own behaviour, please reach out for help immediately.
Self-Help Tools
Most reputable online casinos offer tools to help you maintain control over your gambling:
- Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount of money you can deposit over a specific period (daily, weekly, or monthly)
- Loss Limits: Set a maximum amount you are willing to lose in a given timeframe
- Betting Limits: Restrict the amount you can wager per bet or gaming session
- Reality Checks: Enable reminders that notify you of how long you've been gambling and how much you've spent
- Time-Out/Cool-Off Periods: Temporarily suspend your account for a set period without closing it permanently
- Self-Exclusion: Permanently or temporarily exclude yourself from gambling sites, which prevents you from accessing your account
Use these tools proactively to help maintain healthy gambling habits.
