Responsible Gaming

Gambling Should Be Entertainment, Not Income

At Melbourne Mob, we're committed to promoting responsible gambling practices. It's important to understand that gambling should only be viewed as a form of entertainment, not as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. Never gamble with money you cannot afford to lose, and always set limits before you play.

Age Verification

You must be at least 18 years of age (or the legal gambling age in your jurisdiction) to access our casino services. We are committed to preventing underage gambling and take this requirement seriously. If you are under 18, please do not proceed.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

If you recognise any of the following signs in yourself or someone you know, problem gambling may be developing:

• Chasing losses by gambling more to recover money lost
• Gambling with increasing amounts of money to achieve the same level of excitement
• Repeatedly trying to cut down or control gambling without success
• Hiding gambling activities or the amount of money spent from family and friends
• Neglecting work, school, family, or other important responsibilities due to gambling
• Borrowing money or getting into debt to fund gambling
• Experiencing mood swings, irritability, or anxiety related to gambling
• Lying about time or money spent gambling
• Using gambling to escape problems, stress, or negative emotions
• Experiencing physical symptoms (sleep problems, headaches) related to gambling stress

If you're experiencing any of these warning signs, it's important to seek help immediately.

Self-Help Tools & Responsible Gaming Features

Most online casinos offer tools to help you stay in control of your gambling:

• Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit within a specific timeframe (daily, weekly, or monthly)
• Loss Limits: Set a maximum amount you're willing to lose during a gaming session
• Reality Checks: Receive periodic reminders of how long you've been playing and how much you've spent
• Time-Out: Take a break from gambling for a set period without closing your account
• Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently exclude yourself from accessing your account
• Session Limits: Set a maximum duration for each gaming session

We encourage you to use these tools proactively to maintain control over your gambling activities.
