Responsible Gaming
Gaming Should Be Entertainment
At greg-hooper.com, we believe that online casino gaming should be enjoyed as entertainment only. Gambling should never be viewed as a way to earn money, solve financial problems, or escape personal difficulties. It's important to approach gaming with a clear understanding that the house always has an edge, and you should only gamble with money you can afford to lose.
We're committed to promoting responsible gaming practices and providing resources to help you maintain a healthy relationship with online gambling.
Age Verification
You must be at least 18 years of age (or the legal gambling age in your state or territory) to access and use our services. We take age verification seriously and comply with all Australian gambling regulations.
If you are under the legal gambling age, please do not attempt to register or participate in gaming activities on our platform.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
Please be aware of the following warning signs that may indicate problem gambling:
- Chasing Losses: Trying to recover money lost by gambling more
- Hiding Gambling: Concealing the extent of your gambling from family or friends
- Loss of Control: Inability to stop or reduce gambling despite wanting to
- Neglecting Responsibilities: Prioritising gambling over work, school, or family obligations
- Increasing Stakes: Needing to gamble with larger amounts to achieve the same excitement
- Mood Changes: Becoming irritable or anxious when unable to gamble
- Financial Problems: Borrowing money or going into debt to fund gambling
- Failed Attempts to Quit: Repeatedly trying and failing to reduce or stop gambling
- Using Gambling to Escape: Gambling to cope with stress, anxiety, depression, or other problems
- Relationship Conflict: Arguments with loved ones about gambling habits
If you recognise any of these signs in yourself or someone you know, it's important to seek help immediately.
Self-Help Tools & Protections
We provide several tools to help you maintain control over your gaming:
- Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you're willing to deposit within a specified timeframe (daily, weekly, or monthly)
- Loss Limits: Restrict the amount of money you're willing to lose during a gaming session
- Reality Checks: Receive regular notifications about how long you've been playing and how much you've spent
- Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently exclude yourself from your account if you need a break from gambling
- Session Time Limits: Set automatic logout timers to prevent extended gaming sessions
- Account Closure: Request permanent account closure if you wish to stop gambling entirely
We encourage you to use these tools proactively as part of your responsible gaming strategy.
