Responsible Gaming

Gaming Should Be Entertainment, Not Income

At Cheers Queers Events, we believe that casino gaming should be enjoyed as entertainment only. It should never be viewed as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. The house always has an edge, and the outcome of games is based on chance. Please gamble responsibly and within your means.

Age Verification

You must be at least 18 years of age or the legal gambling age in your Australian jurisdiction to participate in casino gaming. We are committed to preventing underage gambling and comply with all Australian gambling regulations.

If you are under the legal age, please do not use our casino services.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

If you experience any of the following, you may have a gambling problem. Please seek help immediately:

• Chasing losses by gambling more to recover money lost
• Gambling with money needed for essential expenses (rent, food, utilities)
• Hiding gambling activities or lying about the amount of time or money spent
• Experiencing mood swings or irritability when unable to gamble
• Neglecting work, school, family, or social relationships due to gambling
• Increasing the amount of money or time spent gambling to achieve the same excitement
• Feeling anxious or restless when trying to reduce or stop gambling
• Using gambling as an escape from stress, depression, or anxiety
• Borrowing money or going into debt to fund gambling
• Failed attempts to control or reduce gambling

Self-Help Tools

We provide several tools to help you maintain control of your gaming:

• Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount of money you can deposit within a specific time period
• Loss Limits: Set a maximum amount of money you are willing to lose
• Reality Checks: Receive periodic reminders about how long you've been playing and how much you've spent
• Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently exclude yourself from gaming if you feel you cannot control your gambling
• Account Closure: Request to close your account at any time
