Responsible Gaming
At Book of Ra Slot AU, we believe that gambling should always be an entertaining activity, never a source of financial or personal harm. We encourage all players to approach gambling responsibly.
The Golden Rules of Responsible Gambling
- Only gamble with money you can afford to lose
- Set a budget before you play and stick to it
- Set a time limit for each gambling session
- Never chase your losses
- Do not gamble when upset, stressed or under the influence of alcohol
- Treat gambling as entertainment, not as a way to make money
- Balance gambling with other leisure activities
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
You may have a gambling problem if you:
- Spend more time or money gambling than intended
- Feel the need to gamble with increasing amounts to achieve excitement
- Feel restless or irritable when trying to cut down on gambling
- Gamble to escape problems or relieve feelings of helplessness or anxiety
- Lie to family members or others to conceal gambling
- Borrow money or sell possessions to finance gambling
- Have jeopardised or lost a significant relationship or job due to gambling
Self-Help Tools
Reputable online casinos offer tools to help you stay in control:
- Deposit limits: Set daily, weekly or monthly deposit caps
- Session time limits: Set a maximum duration for each gambling session
- Reality checks: Receive reminders of how long you have been playing
