Responsible Gaming
Introduction
At Act Pocket Bike Club, we believe that online gaming should be an enjoyable form of entertainment, not a way to earn money or solve financial problems. While we offer access to casino games through our affiliate partnerships, it's important to understand that all gambling carries risk. Please gamble responsibly and within your means.
Age Verification
Online gambling in Australia is only available to individuals aged 18 years and over. By accessing casino services through our website, you confirm that you are at least 18 years old and meet all legal requirements in your jurisdiction. If you are under the legal gambling age, please do not proceed.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
Problem gambling can develop gradually. Please be aware of these warning signs:
- Spending more time and money on gambling than intended
- Chasing losses by gambling more to recover money lost
- Neglecting family, work, or other responsibilities due to gambling
- Hiding gambling activity or lying about the amount spent
- Feeling anxious, irritable, or depressed when unable to gamble
- Using gambling to escape problems or cope with stress
- Borrowing money or getting into debt to gamble
- Failed attempts to reduce or control gambling
- Relationships suffering due to gambling habits
- Financial difficulties or difficulty paying bills
If you recognise any of these signs in yourself or someone you know, please reach out for support.
Self-Help Tools
Most reputable online casinos offer tools to help you maintain control over your gambling:
- Deposit Limits: Set a daily, weekly, or monthly limit on the amount you can deposit
- Loss Limits: Restrict the amount of losses you're willing to accept
- Reality Checks: Receive notifications at regular intervals during gaming sessions
- Session Time Limits: Automatically end your session after a set period
- Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently exclude yourself from accessing casino services
We encourage you to use these tools when playing. Speak with your casino provider about the self-help options available to you.
