Responsible Gaming

Gambling Should Be Entertainment

At 99problemsbar.com, we believe that gambling should only ever be viewed as entertainment, not as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. Like any form of entertainment, it comes with costs and risks.

Only gamble with money you can afford to lose, and never see it as an investment or income source. If you find yourself struggling to control your gambling, help is available.

Age Verification

You must be at least 18 years of age (or the legal gambling age in your jurisdiction) to use our services. We are committed to preventing underage gambling and comply with all Australian regulations regarding age verification.

If you are under the legal age for gambling in Australia, please do not use casino services. Parents and guardians: speak to your children about the risks of gambling.

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 increasing amounts of money to achieve the same level of excitement
  • Lying to friends, family, or others about the extent of your gambling
  • Difficulty controlling, reducing, or stopping gambling
  • Neglecting work, study, or family responsibilities due to gambling
  • Gambling as a way to escape stress, anxiety, depression, or other negative emotions
  • Borrowing money or spending savings to gamble
  • Experiencing mood swings, irritability, or anxiety when unable to gamble
  • Withdrawal symptoms when not gambling (restlessness, irritability)
  • Continued gambling despite awareness of problems it's causing

If you recognise any of these signs in yourself or someone else, it's important to seek help immediately.

Self-Help Tools & Safer Gambling Features

Many online casinos offer tools to help you maintain control of your gambling. These include:

  • Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit in a specific timeframe (daily, weekly, or monthly)
  • Loss Limits: Cap the maximum amount you're willing to lose during a gaming session
  • Reality Checks: Receive periodic reminders of how long you've been playing and how much you've spent
  • Session Time Limits: Automatically end your session after a set period
  • Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently exclude yourself from gambling platforms
  • Account Closure: Permanently close your account if you decide to stop gambling

We encourage you to use these tools proactively. Setting limits before you begin gambling can help prevent harm.
