Responsible Gaming
Our Commitment to Safe Gaming
At Bear Brass Asylum Orchestra, we believe that online gaming should be an enjoyable form of entertainment. Gambling should never be viewed as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. We are committed to promoting responsible gaming practices and supporting the wellbeing of our players.
Age Verification
Online gambling in Australia is strictly for individuals aged 18 years and over. We take age verification seriously and conduct rigorous checks to ensure all players meet the legal requirements. By accessing our services, you confirm that you are at least 18 years of age and legally permitted to gamble in your jurisdiction.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
If you recognise any of the following signs in your own behaviour, we encourage you to seek help immediately:
- Gambling with money you cannot afford to lose
- Chasing losses by gambling more to recover money lost
- Hiding your gambling activity from family or friends
- Lying about the amount of time or money spent gambling
- Neglecting work, study, or family responsibilities due to gambling
- Feeling anxious or irritable when unable to gamble
- Borrowing money to fund gambling activities
- Difficulty controlling or stopping gambling
- Using gambling to escape problems or relieve stress
- Increased tolerance, needing to gamble more for the same effect
Self-Help Tools
We provide a range of player protection tools to help you maintain control of your gaming:
- Deposit Limits: Set daily, weekly, or monthly limits on the amount you can deposit
- Loss Limits: Control the maximum losses you are willing to accept
- Reality Checks: Receive regular reminders about how long you have been playing and how much you have spent
