Responsible Gaming
Gaming Should Be Entertainment
Online casino gaming should be enjoyed as a form of 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 remember that the odds always favour the house. Play only with money you can afford to lose and set strict limits on your spending and time.
Age Verification
Online gambling in Australia is only legal for players who are 18 years of age or older. If you are under 18, you must not access or use online casino services. It is your responsibility to verify your age before participating in any gambling activities on jemartool.com.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
Problem gambling can develop quickly and affect your finances, relationships, and wellbeing. Please review the following warning signs:
- Chasing losses by gambling with more money to try to recover what you've lost
- Hiding your gambling activity or lying about the amount of money you're spending
- Gambling with money intended for bills, rent, or other essential expenses
- Feeling anxious, irritable, or restless when not gambling
- Gambling for longer periods or with larger amounts than originally intended
- Neglecting family, friends, work, or other important responsibilities
- Borrowing money or using credit to fund gambling
- Failed attempts to reduce or stop gambling
- Using gambling as an escape from stress, anxiety, or depression
- Experiencing relationship problems due to gambling
If you recognise any of these signs in your own behaviour, please seek help immediately.
Self-Help Tools
Most reputable online casinos offer responsible gaming tools to help you maintain control. These may include:
- Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount 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
- Reality Checks: Receive regular reminders of how long you've been playing and how much you've spent
- Session Time Limits: Automatically log out after a set period of time
- Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently exclude yourself from accessing your casino account
Always use these tools proactively and adjust your limits if your circumstances change.
