Responsible Gaming
Gaming Should Be Entertainment
At myhealthcoverage.care, we believe that casino gaming should only ever be viewed as entertainment, not as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. Like any form of entertainment, it should only be enjoyed with money you can afford to lose.
If you find yourself gambling to make money, chase losses, or escape personal problems, it's time to seek help. Support is available and recovery is possible.
Age Verification
Online casino gaming in Australia is strictly for adults aged 18 years and over. By accessing any casino services through our site, you confirm that you are:
- At least 18 years of age (or the legal age of majority in your jurisdiction)
- Not excluded from gambling by law or by self-exclusion schemes
- Accessing gaming services from a location where it is legal to do so
If you are under 18, please do not proceed. Parents and carers concerned about a young person's online activity can contact Gambling Help Online for advice.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
Do any of these apply to you? If so, you may be developing a gambling problem:
- Chasing losses: Trying to win back money you've lost by gambling more
- Loss of control: Gambling longer or with larger amounts than intended
- Hiding gambling activity: Being secretive about how much you gamble or how much money you've spent
- Neglecting responsibilities: Missing work, family time, or other commitments due to gambling
- Financial problems: Borrowing money, using credit cards, or selling possessions to fund gambling
- Tolerance: Needing to gamble with more money to get the same level of excitement
- Mood changes: Becoming irritable, anxious, or depressed when unable to gamble
- Unsuccessful attempts to quit: Repeatedly trying and failing to reduce or stop gambling
- Using gambling to escape: Gambling to relieve stress, anxiety, depression, or other emotional problems
- Relationship conflict: Arguments with family or friends about your gambling
If you recognize any of these warning signs, reach out for support immediately.
Self-Help Tools & Safer Gaming Features
Responsible online casinos offer tools to help you stay in control:
- Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount of money you can deposit within a specific timeframe (daily, weekly, or monthly)
- Loss Limits: Set a maximum amount of money you are willing to lose in a given period
- Time Limits: Set reminders or automatic session timeouts to limit how long you play
- Reality Checks: Receive pop-up notifications during play to remind you how long and how much you've been gambling
- Self-Exclusion: Voluntarily exclude yourself from accessing casino services for a set period (days, months, or years)
- Account Closure: Permanently close your account if you wish to stop gambling entirely
- Cooling Off Periods: Take a break before reactivating your account after exclusion
We encourage you to use these tools proactively. They are designed to protect your wellbeing.
