Responsible Gaming
Gaming Should Be Entertainment
At The Crimson Goat Cabaret Club, we believe that online pokies and casino games should be enjoyed as a form of entertainment only, not as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. While gaming can be fun and exciting, it's important to gamble responsibly and within your means.
Please remember: the odds always favour the house. Never gamble with money you cannot afford to lose.
Age Verification
You must be at least 18 years of age (or the legal gambling age in your jurisdiction) to access and use our gaming services. We take age verification seriously and comply with all Australian gambling regulations.
If you are under the legal age, please do not participate in gambling activities. We encourage parents and guardians to monitor gaming activity and discuss responsible gambling practices with young people.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
Problem gambling can develop gradually. If you recognise any of the following signs in yourself or someone you know, it may be time to seek help:
- Spending more time or money on gambling than intended
- Chasing losses by gambling more to try to recover money lost
- Lying to family, friends, or professionals about the extent of your gambling
- Gambling to escape problems, stress, anxiety, or depression
- Neglecting work, family, or other important responsibilities
- Borrowing money or experiencing financial difficulties due to gambling
- Feeling anxious, irritable, or restless when not gambling
- Unsuccessful attempts to reduce or stop gambling
- Jeopardising relationships, employment, or educational opportunities
- Relying on others for money to cover gambling losses
If you experience any of these warning signs, please reach out for support immediately.
