Responsible Gaming

Responsible gaming is the foundation for enjoying gaming entertainment consciously and safely. At 22aud via 22aud-casino.games, we are committed to ensuring that gaming remains a positive experience by supporting our players in making informed decisions and accessing appropriate tools and assistance as needed.

Risk Awareness

OBSERVE: Australian regulations and industry standards emphasize player education regarding the risks of gambling addiction. Players must be informed of behavioural warning signs and provided practical self-assessment resources.

EXPAND: Signs of problematic behaviour can appear subtly and must be detailed clearly. A self-check allows users to reflect on their own habits, which is vital for early intervention as per AU National Consumer Protection Framework.

REFLECT: The following points and test help you recognize risk signs and encourage early action.

Potential Signs of Gambling Harm

• Frequent or Increasing Bets: Placing bets more often or with higher amounts than originally intended.
• Preoccupation With Gambling: Consistently thinking about casino games or wagering when not playing.
• Chasing Losses: Trying to recover lost money by further gambling, which can intensify financial risk.
• Neglected Responsibilities: Ignoring family, work, or social obligations to spend more time gaming.
• Borrowing or Selling Assets: Raising funds through loans or sales to continue gambling.

Self-Assessment Test

1. Do you often spend more time or money gaming than you planned?
2. Have you tried and failed to cut down or stop gambling?
3. Do you feel anxious or irritable when you cannot gamble?
4. Has gambling negatively affected your relationships or finances?
5. Do you feel the need to hide your gambling behaviour from others?

If you answered "yes" to any of these, consider using the tools below or contacting support resources.

Limits & Tools
