Responsible Gaming

Gaming Should Be Entertainment

At folperth.org, we're committed to promoting responsible gaming practices. Gambling should only ever be viewed as a form of entertainment, not as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. Only gamble with money you can afford to lose, and never chase losses by gambling more.

Age Verification

Online gambling in Australia is strictly regulated. You must be 18 years of age or older to participate in any gaming activities on this website. We take age verification seriously and reserve the right to request proof of age at any time. If you are under 18, please do not access our gaming content.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

If you experience any of the following, you may have a gambling problem:

• Chasing losses by gambling more money to recover what you've lost
• Hiding your gambling activities or lying about the time and money spent
• Gambling with money needed for essentials like rent, food, or bills
• Gambling to escape problems, stress, or uncomfortable emotions
• Neglecting family, friends, work, or other important responsibilities
• Feeling anxious, irritable, or restless when not gambling
• Constantly thinking about gambling or planning the next gaming session
• Needing to gamble with increasing amounts to achieve the same excitement
• Being unable to stick to set limits on time or money spent
• Borrowing money to finance gambling activities

Self-Help Tools & Responsible Gaming Features

Many online casinos offer tools to help you maintain control of your gaming:

• Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you're willing to deposit within a specified time period (daily, weekly, or monthly)
• Loss Limits: Establish a maximum amount you're willing to lose before stopping play
• Reality Checks: Enable pop-up reminders during gaming sessions to help you track time and money spent
• Session Time Limits: Set automatic timeouts to end your gaming session after a predetermined duration
• Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently exclude yourself from gaming accounts when you feel your gambling is becoming problematic

We encourage you to use these tools to maintain a healthy gaming experience.
