Responsible Gaming
At anglicanparishoffremantle.com, we believe that gambling — including playing at Neosurf casinos — should always be a form of entertainment, never a way to earn money or solve financial problems. Pokies, table games, and other casino games are games of chance: the house always has an edge, and losses are a normal and expected part of play. Please only ever gamble with money you can afford to lose, and never treat gambling as a source of income.
Age Verification
Gambling is strictly for adults. In Australia, you must be 18 years or older to legally gamble. All casinos we reference are required to verify the age and identity of their players. If you are under 18, please leave this site immediately and do not attempt to gamble. Parents and guardians are encouraged to use filtering software (such as Net Nanny or CyberPatrol) to prevent minors from accessing gambling websites on shared devices.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
Problem gambling can affect anyone. Ask yourself honestly whether any of the following apply to you or someone you care about:
- Chasing losses — gambling more to try to win back money you've lost
- Hiding your gambling or lying to family and friends about how much you spend
- Gambling with money meant for rent, bills, groceries, or other essentials
- Borrowing money or going into debt to fund gambling
- Spending more time or money gambling than you intended
- Feeling anxious, guilty, depressed, or irritable when you're not gambling
- Neglecting work, study, or relationships because of gambling
- Being unable to stop or cut down, even when you want to
- Using gambling as an escape from stress, loneliness, or other problems
If you recognise one or more of these signs, it may be time to take a break and seek support. There is no shame in asking for help.
Self-Help Tools
Licensed online casinos offer practical tools to help you stay in control. We strongly encourage all players to use them:
- Deposit limits – set a daily, weekly, or monthly cap on how much you can deposit
- Loss limits – restrict how much you can lose within a set period
- Wager/session limits – control how much you bet or how long you play
- Reality checks – on-screen reminders showing how long you've been playing and how much you've spent
- Time-outs (cooling-off periods) – take a short break from gambling, from 24 hours up to several weeks
- Self-exclusion – block yourself from a casino for a longer period or permanently
In Australia, you can also register with BetStop – the National Self-Exclusion Register (www.betstop.gov.au), which lets you exclude yourself from all licensed Australian online and telephone wagering services in one step.
