Responsible Gaming
Our Commitment to Responsible Gaming
At scottstewartmp.org.au, we are committed to promoting responsible gaming practices. Live dealer casinos should be enjoyed as a form of entertainment only, not as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. Please gamble responsibly and within your means.
Age Verification
In Australia, you must be at least 18 years of age to participate in online gambling. 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 use our services.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
If you experience any of the following, you may be developing a gambling problem. Please seek help:
- Spending more time and money on gambling than intended
- Chasing losses by gambling more to recover money lost
- Lying to family, friends, or others about your gambling activities
- Neglecting work, school, family, or other responsibilities due to gambling
- Using gambling to escape problems, stress, anxiety, or depression
- Borrowing money or going into debt to fund gambling
- Experiencing mood swings related to gambling wins and losses
- Feeling anxious or irritable when unable to gamble
- Failed attempts to reduce or control gambling
- Risking important relationships, job, or educational opportunities
Self-Help Tools
Most licensed online casinos offer tools to help you maintain control of your gambling:
- Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit within a specified timeframe (daily, weekly, or monthly)
- Loss Limits: Set a maximum amount you are willing to lose during a gaming session
- Reality Checks: Enable reminders during your gaming sessions to help you track time spent gambling
- Session Time Limits: Set automatic session timeouts to prevent extended play
- Self-Exclusion: Voluntarily exclude yourself from gambling for a specified period (days, weeks, months, or years)
We encourage you to use these tools proactively to maintain a healthy relationship with gambling.
