Responsible Gaming
Introduction
At Savage Boats, we believe gambling should be enjoyed as entertainment only, not as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. Casino games are designed for fun and should never be relied upon as an income source. Always gamble within your means and set limits you can afford to lose.
Age Verification
Online gambling in Australia is only available to persons aged 18 years and older. If you are under 18, you must not access or use any casino services. We are committed to responsible gambling practices and comply with all Australian gaming regulations.
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 lost
- Hiding gambling activities or lying about how much you gamble
- Spending more time and money on gambling than intended
- Feeling anxious or irritable when not gambling
- Neglecting family, work, or other responsibilities due to gambling
- Borrowing money to gamble or pay gambling debts
- Using gambling to escape problems or cope with negative feelings
- Failed attempts to reduce or stop gambling
- Gambling with larger amounts to achieve the same excitement
Self-Help Tools
Most reputable online casinos offer responsible gambling tools to help you maintain control:
- Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit within a specific time period
- Loss Limits: Restrict the maximum amount you can lose in a given timeframe
- Session Time Limits: Receive alerts when you've been playing for a set duration
- Reality Checks: Pop-up reminders showing your play time and money spent
- Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently exclude yourself from accessing casino accounts
Take advantage of these tools to help manage your gambling responsibly.
