Responsible Gaming
Gaming Should Be Entertainment
At Bondi Beach Bar Brutes, we believe that online gaming should be an enjoyable form of entertainment, not a way to earn money or solve financial problems. Please gamble responsibly and only with money you can afford to lose.
If you're gambling to recover losses, escape problems, or as a source of income, it's time to seek help. Problem gambling can have serious consequences for your health, relationships, and finances.
Age Verification
Online gambling is strictly for persons aged 18 years and over in Australia. This is a legal requirement. By accessing Rocket Casino AU through our website, you confirm that you are at least 18 years of age and meet all legal requirements to gamble in your jurisdiction.
If you are under 18, you must not use this service. Parents and guardians are encouraged to discuss responsible gaming with young people.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
Do you recognise any of the following warning signs? If so, it may indicate a gambling problem:
- Chasing losses by gambling with more money to recover what you've lost
- Gambling with money intended for essentials (rent, food, utilities, bills)
- Hiding your gambling activity or lying about how much you gamble
- Spending more time and money gambling than intended
- Feeling anxious, irritable, or restless when not gambling
- Neglecting family, friends, work, or school due to gambling
- Borrowing money or using credit to fund gambling
- Unsuccessful attempts to reduce or stop gambling
- Using gambling to escape problems or negative emotions
- Experiencing financial difficulties because of gambling
If you've ticked any of these boxes, please reach out for support immediately.
Self-Help Tools and Limits
Most reputable online casinos, including Rocket Casino AU, offer tools to help you manage your gambling:
- Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit over a specific period (daily, weekly, monthly) to control spending
- Loss Limits: Restrict the amount you're willing to lose in a set timeframe
- Reality Checks: Receive regular notifications about how long you've been playing and how much you've wagered
- Time-Out/Cool-Off Period: Take a break from gambling for hours, days, or weeks
- Self-Exclusion: Voluntarily exclude yourself from the casino for a set period or permanently
If you're struggling to stick to limits, self-exclusion is a powerful tool to help you regain control.
