Responsible Gaming
Introduction
At Richard Online Casino, we believe that gaming should be enjoyed as entertainment only, not as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. While we aim to provide an enjoyable gaming experience, it's important to understand the risks involved and to gamble responsibly.
Remember: the house always has an edge. Never gamble more than you can afford to lose.
Age Verification
By accessing Richard Online Casino through freemanskateboarding.com, you confirm that you are at least 18 years of age or the legal gambling age in your jurisdiction, whichever is higher. In Australia, you must be 18 years or older to gamble legally.
If you are under the legal gambling age, please do not use our services. We take underage gambling seriously and implement strict age verification measures.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
Problem gambling can develop gradually. If you recognise any of these warning signs in yourself or someone you know, please seek help immediately:
- Chasing losses by gambling more to recover money lost
- Gambling with money intended for bills, rent, or essential expenses
- Hiding gambling activity or lying about the time and money spent gambling
- Neglecting family, friends, work, or other responsibilities due to gambling
- Feeling anxious, irritable, or restless when not gambling
- Needing to gamble with larger amounts to achieve the same level of excitement
- Failed attempts to cut back or stop gambling
- Borrowing money to fund gambling activities
- Experiencing financial difficulties, debt, or legal problems due to gambling
- Using gambling to escape problems, stress, or negative emotions
Self-Help Tools
Most reputable online casinos, including those promoted through Richard Online Casino, offer tools to help you maintain control:
- Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you're willing to deposit over a specific period (daily, weekly, or monthly)
- Loss Limits: Define a maximum loss threshold—if you reach this limit, you'll be unable to gamble further
- Reality Checks: Receive periodic reminders about how long and how much you've been gambling
- Session Limits: Set maximum time limits for your gaming sessions
- Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently exclude yourself from gambling, during which you cannot access your account
- Account Closure: Request permanent closure of your account if you wish to stop gambling entirely
We encourage you to use these tools proactively, even if you don't currently feel you have a problem.
