Responsible Gaming
Our Commitment to Safe Gaming
At anme.org.au, we are committed to promoting responsible gaming practices. Live dealer casinos should be enjoyed as entertainment only, never as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. Please gamble within your means and only with money you can afford to lose.
Age Verification
You must be 18 years of age or older (or the legal gambling age in your jurisdiction) to access and use casino services. By accessing any linked casino platforms through our website, you confirm that you meet this legal requirement. If you are under the legal gambling age in Australia, please do not participate in gambling activities.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
Problem gambling can affect anyone. Please be aware of these warning signs:
- Gambling with money needed for essential expenses (food, rent, bills, medications)
- Chasing losses by gambling more to recover money lost
- Hiding gambling activities or lying about the amount of time or money spent
- Feeling anxious or irritable when unable to gamble
- Gambling longer or with more money than originally intended
- Neglecting family, work, education, or social responsibilities due to gambling
- Borrowing money or using credit to fund gambling
- Failed attempts to cut back or stop gambling
- Using gambling to escape problems or negative emotions
- Continued gambling despite negative consequences
If you recognize any of these signs in yourself or someone you know, help is available.
Self-Help Tools & Limits
Most reputable casinos offer tools to help you maintain control over your gaming:
- Deposit Limits: Set daily, weekly, or monthly limits on the amount you can deposit
- Loss Limits: Restrict the maximum amount you're willing to lose in a set period
- Session Time Limits: Automatically log you out after a predetermined gaming session
- Reality Checks: Receive periodic reminders about how long you've been playing and how much you've spent
- Self-Exclusion: Voluntarily exclude yourself from casino sites for a period you choose (days, months, or years)
We strongly encourage you to use these tools to maintain healthy gaming habits.
