Responsible Gaming
Gambling Should Be Entertainment
At skagitbeaches.org, we believe that gambling should only be viewed as a form of entertainment, not as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. Neosurf casino games are designed for fun and enjoyment, with outcomes determined by chance. Always gamble within your means and never bet more than you can afford to lose.
Age Verification
In Australia, you must be at least 18 years of age to participate in gambling activities, including online casino games. We are committed to preventing access to minors and comply with all Australian gambling regulations. If you are under 18, please do not use our services.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
If you recognise any of the following signs in yourself or someone you know, please seek help immediately:
- Chasing losses by gambling with more money to recover what you've lost
- Hiding gambling activities or lying about time and money spent gambling
- Gambling with money needed for essentials (rent, food, bills, medications)
- Neglecting work, school, family, or relationships due to gambling
- Feeling anxious, irritable, or restless when not gambling
- Needing to gamble with increasing amounts of money to achieve the same excitement
- Failed attempts to cut back or stop gambling
- Borrowing money or using credit to fund gambling
- Thoughts of suicide or self-harm related to gambling debts
Self-Help Tools and Player Protections
We provide responsible gaming tools to help you maintain control:
- Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you're willing to spend per day, week, or month
- Loss Limits: Establish a limit on how much you're willing to lose before you stop playing
- Reality Checks: Receive regular notifications during your gaming session to remind you how long you've been playing
- Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently exclude yourself from accessing your account
- Time-Out: Take a break from gambling for a set period
Please contact our support team to activate any of these tools.
