Responsible Gaming
Our Commitment to Responsible Gaming
At cowes.info, we are committed to promoting responsible gaming practices. We believe that gambling should be enjoyed as entertainment only, not as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. If you choose to gamble, please do so responsibly and within your means.
Age Verification
Online gambling in Australia is only available to individuals who are 18 years of age or older. We take age verification seriously and comply with all Australian gambling regulations. By accessing any casino through cowes.info, you confirm that you are of legal age to gamble in your jurisdiction.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
Problem gambling can develop gradually. Please be aware of these warning signs:
- Chasing losses by gambling with more money to recover previous losses
- Gambling with money intended for essential expenses (rent, bills, food)
- Hiding gambling activities or lying about the amount of time or money spent
- Feeling unable to stop gambling or control your gambling behaviour
- Neglecting family, friends, work, or other responsibilities due to gambling
- Experiencing mood swings or irritability when unable to gamble
- Borrowing money or accumulating debt to fund gambling
- Feeling anxious, depressed, or stressed because of gambling
- Needing to gamble with increasing amounts of money for the same excitement
- Failed attempts to reduce or stop gambling
If you recognise any of these signs in yourself or someone else, please seek help immediately.
Self-Help Tools
Most reputable online casinos offer tools to help you maintain control of your gambling:
- Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit within a specified time period (daily, weekly, or monthly)
- Loss Limits: Set a limit on the maximum amount you are willing to lose in a given timeframe
- Reality Checks: Enable pop-up reminders about how long you have been gambling and how much you have spent
- Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently exclude yourself from a casino or multiple casinos across Australia
- Session Time Limits: Automatically log out after a set period of play
Take advantage of these tools to maintain control over your gaming experience.
