Responsible Gaming

Gambling Should Be Entertainment

At Laser Linings, we're committed to promoting responsible gaming practices. Gambling should only ever be viewed as a form of entertainment, not as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. Always gamble within your means and never bet more than you can afford to lose.

Age Verification

Online gambling in Australia is only legal for players aged 18 years and over. By accessing our site and participating in gaming activities, you confirm that you are at least 18 years of age and meet all local legal requirements in your jurisdiction.

If you are under 18, please do not proceed. We take age verification seriously and reserve the right to request proof of age at any time.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

Problem gambling can develop gradually. Be aware of these warning signs:

• Chasing losses by gambling more to recover money you've lost
• Gambling with money intended for bills, rent, or essential expenses
• Hiding or lying about your gambling activities and spending
• Feeling anxious or irritable when trying to cut down or stop
• Neglecting work, family, relationships, or hobbies due to gambling
• Gambling for longer periods or with larger amounts than intended
• Borrowing money or using credit to fund gambling
• Using gambling as a way to escape stress, anxiety, or depression
• Failed attempts to reduce or control your gambling
• Thinking constantly about gambling or past gambling sessions

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

Self-Help Tools & Controls

Most reputable online casinos offer built-in tools to help you maintain control over your gambling:

• Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit within a specified time period (daily, weekly, or monthly)
• Loss Limits: Restrict the maximum amount you're willing to lose over a set timeframe
• Time Limits: Set reminders or automatic session timeouts to help manage your playing time
• Reality Checks: Receive periodic notifications showing your time spent and money wagered
• Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently exclude yourself from accessing your account
• Account Closure: Permanently close your account if you wish to stop gambling

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