Responsible Gaming

Gambling Should Be Entertainment

At Zero Through Nine, we believe gambling should be an entertaining activity, not a way to earn money or solve financial problems. Casino games are designed for entertainment purposes only, and the house always has a mathematical advantage. Play only with money you can afford to lose, and never gamble as a way to make money or recover losses.

Age Verification

You must be 18 years of age or older to gamble in Australia. By accessing our site, you confirm that you meet this legal requirement in your jurisdiction. We take responsible gaming seriously and do not permit underage gambling under any circumstances.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

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

• Chasing losses by gambling more to recover money you've lost
• Gambling with money needed for essentials like rent, food, or bills
• Hiding your gambling activity from family, friends, or loved ones
• Feeling anxious, irritable, or restless when not gambling
• Gambling for longer periods than intended
• Neglecting work, study, relationships, or hobbies due to gambling
• Borrowing money to gamble
• Lying about the amount of money you've gambled or lost
• Failed attempts to cut back or stop gambling
• Using gambling to escape problems or relieve stress

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

Self-Help Tools

Most responsible gaming platforms offer tools to help you maintain control:

• Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you're willing to deposit within a specific time period
• Loss Limits: Set a maximum amount you're willing to lose before stopping play
• Reality Checks: Receive notifications at set intervals to remind you how long and how much you've been playing
• Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently exclude yourself from gambling sites
• Cooling-Off Periods: Take a break from gambling for a specified duration

We encourage you to use these tools when playing at any casino site.
