Responsible Gaming

Gambling Should Be Entertainment

At QLD Hot Rod Show, we believe gambling should only be viewed as a form of entertainment, not as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. Online casino games are designed with a built-in house edge, meaning the odds always favour the casino in the long term.

Please gamble responsibly and only with money you can afford to lose. If you find yourself struggling to control your gambling habits, help and support are available.

Age Verification

Online gambling in Australia is only available to persons aged 18 years and over. If you are under 18, you must not use this website or participate in any gambling activities.

By accessing casino services through this site, you confirm that you are of legal age to gamble in your jurisdiction.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

If you experience any of the following, you may have a gambling problem:

• Chasing losses: Trying to win back money you've lost by gambling more
• Hiding gambling: Concealing the extent of your gambling from family or friends
• Loss of control: Gambling more than you intended or planned
• Neglecting responsibilities: Missing work, school, or family commitments due to gambling
• Financial problems: Borrowing money or going into debt to gamble
• Mood changes: Becoming irritable or anxious when unable to gamble
• Escalating bets: Needing to bet larger amounts to achieve the same excitement
• Failed attempts to quit: Repeatedly trying and failing to reduce or stop gambling
• Using gambling to escape: Gambling to cope with stress, anxiety, or other problems

If you recognise any of these signs in yourself or someone else, please seek help immediately.

Self-Help Tools & Responsible Gaming Features

Most reputable online casinos offer tools to help you stay in control:

• Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit within a specified timeframe (daily, weekly, or monthly)
• Loss Limits: Set a maximum amount you're willing to lose during a gaming session
• Reality Checks: Receive automatic reminders of how long you've been playing and how much you've wagered
• Session Time Limits: Automatically end your gaming session after a predetermined time
• Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently exclude yourself from accessing casino services
• Account Closure: Permanently close your account if you wish to stop gambling entirely

We strongly encourage you to use these tools as part of your responsible gaming strategy.
