Responsible Gaming
Gaming Should Be Entertainment
At Coburg Motor Inn, we believe gambling should be enjoyed as entertainment only—never as a way to make money or solve financial problems. Casino games are designed for fun, and the house always has a mathematical advantage. Please gamble responsibly and within your means.
Age Verification
Online gambling in Australia is only for individuals aged 18 years and older. By accessing our casino affiliate content, you confirm that you meet this legal requirement. If you are under 18, please do not participate in any gambling activities.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
If you recognise any of the following signs in your own behaviour, it may be time to seek help:
- Chasing losses by gambling more to recover money you've lost
- Gambling with money meant for essential expenses (rent, bills, food)
- Hiding gambling activities or lying about the amount you gamble
- Feeling anxious or irritable when you try to reduce or stop gambling
- Gambling longer or with larger amounts than intended
- Neglecting family, work, or social responsibilities due to gambling
- Borrowing money to gamble or pay off gambling debts
- Experiencing mood swings or using gambling to escape problems
Self-Help Tools & Safer Gambling Features
Most responsible online casinos offer tools to help you stay in control:
- Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit within a specific timeframe
- Loss Limits: Cap the amount you're willing to lose in a session or over time
- Reality Checks: Regular reminders of how long you've been playing and how much you've spent
- Session Time Limits: Automatically log out after a set period
- Self-Exclusion: Voluntarily exclude yourself from gambling platforms for days, weeks, months, or longer
