Responsible Gaming
Gambling Should Be Entertainment, Not Income
At Ripper Casino, we believe that gambling should only ever be viewed as a form of entertainment, similar to going to the movies or dining out. It should never be considered a way to earn money or solve financial problems. When you play at any online casino, you should only gamble with money you can afford to lose, and always play within your means.
Responsible gaming is at the heart of everything we do. We encourage all our players to gamble safely and seek help immediately if gambling begins to negatively impact your life.
Age Verification
In Australia, you must be at least 18 years of age to participate in online gambling. We are committed to preventing underage gambling and use robust age verification systems to ensure all players meet the legal minimum age requirement. By accessing and using Ripper Casino, you confirm that you are 18 years of age or older.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
Do you recognise any of these warning signs in your own behaviour? If so, it may be time to seek help:
- Chasing losses by gambling more to try to recover money you've lost
- Gambling with money allocated for essential expenses such as rent, bills, or groceries
- Hiding your gambling activity or lying to friends and family about how much you gamble
- Feeling anxious or irritable when not gambling
- Needing to gamble with increasing amounts of money to achieve the same level of excitement
- Spending more time gambling than intended
- Neglecting work, school, family, or social relationships due to gambling
- Borrowing money or going into debt to fund gambling
- Unable to cut back or stop gambling despite wanting to
- Using gambling as an escape from problems or negative emotions
If you recognise any of these signs in your behaviour, please reach out for support immediately.
