Responsible Gaming
Gaming Should Be Entertainment
At Ripper Casino, we believe that online gaming should be fun, entertaining, and within your control. Gambling should never be viewed as a way to make money or solve financial problems. It's a form of entertainment that carries risk, and it's important to play responsibly.
If you're going to gamble, do so only with money you can afford to lose, and always set limits before you start playing.
Age Verification
Gaming on our site is strictly for persons aged 18 years or over, or the legal gambling age in your state or territory in Australia, whichever is higher.
We take age verification seriously and reserve the right to request proof of identity and age at any time. If you are under the legal gambling age, you must not create an account or play on our platform.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
Gambling problems can develop gradually. Be honest with yourself and watch for these warning signs:
- Chasing Losses: Trying to win back money you've lost by gambling more
- Hiding Gambling: Keeping your gambling secret from family or friends
- Spending More Than Intended: Regularly gambling longer or with more money than planned
- Neglecting Responsibilities: Missing work, school, or family commitments to gamble
- Borrowing to Gamble: Using credit cards, loans, or borrowed money to fund gambling
- Mood Changes: Becoming irritable, anxious, or depressed when not gambling
- Increased Tolerance: Needing to gamble with larger amounts to get the same excitement
- Failed Attempts to Stop: Repeatedly trying and failing to reduce or quit gambling
- Preoccupation: Constantly thinking about gambling or planning the next session
- Using Gambling to Escape: Gambling to cope with stress, anxiety, or other problems
If you recognise any of these signs in yourself or someone else, it's time to seek help.
Self-Help Tools & Player Controls
We provide several tools to help you maintain control over your gambling:
Deposit Limits
Set a maximum amount you're willing to deposit within a specific time period (daily, weekly, or monthly). Once reached, you cannot deposit further funds until the period resets.
Loss Limits
Set a maximum amount you're willing to lose. When you reach this limit, your account will be temporarily restricted from further play.
Session Time Limits
Set a time reminder to help you track how long you've been playing. You can choose to receive notifications and self-imposed breaks.
Reality Checks
Request pop-up reminders during play that show your balance, time spent playing, and money wagered. This helps you stay aware of your activity.
Self-Exclusion
If you need a break from gambling, you can self-exclude from Ripper Casino for a period of your choosing (minimum 6 months). During this time, your account will be closed and you will not be able to access our services.
To activate any of these tools, log into your account and visit the Responsible Gaming section in your player settings, or contact our support team.
