Responsible Gaming
Gambling Should Be Entertainment
At Coalition Against The Coalition, we're committed to promoting responsible gaming practices. It's important to remember that gambling should only ever be viewed as entertainment, not as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. Only gamble with money you can afford to lose, and set strict limits before you begin.
Age Verification
Online gambling in Australia is only available to individuals who are 18 years of age or older. We take age verification seriously and will not permit access to anyone under the legal gambling age. If you are under 18, please do not attempt to access our casino partners' services.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
Recognise these common warning signs that you or someone you know may be developing a gambling problem:
- Chasing losses: Trying to win back money you've lost by gambling more
- Hiding gambling activity: Concealing the extent of your gambling from family or friends
- Loss of control: Gambling longer or with more money than intended
- Neglecting responsibilities: Missing work, school, or family commitments due to gambling
- Financial strain: Borrowing money or using credit to fund gambling
- Mood changes: Becoming irritable, anxious, or depressed when not gambling
- Escalating stakes: Needing to gamble with increasing amounts for excitement
- Failed attempts to quit: Unable to reduce or stop gambling despite wanting to
- Using gambling to escape: Gambling to cope with stress, anxiety, or other problems
If you recognise any of these signs, it's crucial to seek help immediately.
Self-Help Tools & Safety Features
Our partner casinos provide several tools to help you maintain control of your gambling:
- Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit over a specified period (daily, weekly, monthly)
- Loss Limits: Set a maximum amount you're willing to lose before stopping play
- Reality Checks: Receive reminders about how long you've been playing
- Time-Out: Take a break from gambling for a set period without closing your account
- Self-Exclusion: Voluntarily exclude yourself from accessing casinos for a period you choose (typically 6 months to 5 years)
We strongly encourage you to use these tools proactively to maintain healthy gambling habits.
