Responsible Gaming
Our Commitment to Safe Gaming
At Bottled Mag, we are committed to promoting responsible gaming practices. Live dealer casinos should be enjoyed as a form of entertainment only, not as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. If you choose to gamble, please do so within your means and with money you can afford to lose.
Age Verification
All players must be at least 18 years of age (or the legal gambling age in your jurisdiction in Australia) to access live dealer casino services. We take age verification seriously and reserve the right to request proof of identity. By using our affiliate links and recommended casinos, you confirm that you meet these age requirements.
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 essential expenses (rent, bills, food)
- Hiding gambling activities or lying about the time and money spent gambling
- Experiencing mood swings or irritability when unable to gamble
- Needing to gamble with increasing amounts to achieve the same excitement
- Neglecting family, work, education, or social activities due to gambling
- Borrowing money or accumulating debt to finance gambling
- Unsuccessful attempts to reduce or control gambling
- Using gambling to escape problems or manage negative emotions
- Jeopardising relationships, employment, or education due to gambling
Self-Help Tools and Responsible Gaming Features
Most reputable live dealer casinos offer tools to help you stay in control:
- Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you're willing to deposit within a specific timeframe (daily, weekly, or monthly)
- Loss Limits: Set a maximum amount you're willing to lose during a gaming session
- Reality Checks: Enable regular reminders during gameplay to help you track time and spending
- Session Time Limits: Set automatic logging-off after a predetermined period
- Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently exclude yourself from casino accounts when you need a break
- Account Cooling-Off Period: Take a break before accessing your account again
Use these tools proactively to maintain control over your gaming activities.
