Responsible Gaming

Gambling Should Be Entertainment, Not Income

At freesydney.org, we believe that gambling should only ever be enjoyed as a form of entertainment. Fairgo Casino and all gambling activities carry real financial risk. Never gamble with money you cannot afford to lose, and never view gambling as a way to earn money or solve financial problems.

Please gamble responsibly and within your means.

Age Verification

You must be at least 18 years of age (or the legal gambling age in your state or territory) to access Fairgo Casino and place bets.

We are committed to protecting minors from gambling harm. If you are under 18, please do not proceed.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

Problem gambling can develop gradually. Please be aware of these warning signs:

• Chasing losses: Continuing to gamble to recover money you've lost
• Hiding gambling: Keeping your gambling activity secret from family or friends
• Loss of control: Gambling longer or with more money than intended
• Neglecting responsibilities: Missing work, school, or family commitments due to gambling
• Financial strain: Borrowing money to gamble or experiencing debt because of gambling
• Mood changes: Becoming irritable or anxious when not gambling
• Escalating stakes: Needing to bet more money to achieve the same excitement
• Failed attempts to quit: Repeatedly trying and failing to cut back or stop gambling
• Relationship conflict: Gambling causing arguments with loved ones
• Using gambling to escape: Gambling to cope with stress, anxiety, or depression

If you recognize any of these signs in your own behaviour, please seek help immediately.

Self-Help Tools & Controls

Fairgo Casino provides the following responsible gambling tools to help you maintain control:

• Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit within a specified time period (daily, weekly, or monthly)

• Reality Checks: Receive regular reminders during play showing how long you've been gambling and how much you've wagered
• Session Time Limits: Automatically log out after a set period of time
