Responsible Gaming

Gambling Should Be Entertainment, Not Income

At Richard Casino, we believe that gambling should only ever be viewed as a form of entertainment, similar to going to the movies or playing sport. It should never be considered a way to earn money or solve financial problems. All games are based on chance, and the odds always favour the house in the long term.

Please gamble responsibly and only with money you can afford to lose.

Age Verification

You must be 18 years of age or older to gamble in Australia. It is illegal for anyone under the legal age to participate in gambling activities. If you are under 18, please do not access or use any gambling services.

All users must verify their age before accessing our platform. We take age verification seriously and comply with all Australian gambling laws.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

Problem gambling can develop gradually. Please watch for these warning signs:

• Chasing losses: Trying to recover losses by gambling more
• Hiding gambling: Concealing gambling activities from family or friends
• Spending more than planned: Gambling for longer or wagering more than intended
• Neglecting responsibilities: Missing work, family commitments, or other obligations
• Borrowing money: Using loans, credit, or borrowed funds to gamble
• Mood changes: Becoming anxious, irritable, or depressed when not gambling
• Escalating bets: Needing to wager larger amounts to achieve the same excitement
• Failed attempts to stop: Repeatedly trying and failing to reduce or quit gambling
• Financial problems: Experiencing debt, unpaid bills, or financial hardship
• Loss of interest: Losing interest in hobbies and social activities

If you recognize any of these signs in yourself or someone you know, please seek help immediately.
