Responsible Gaming
Our Commitment to Responsible Gaming
At Run to End MS, we believe that online casino gaming should be enjoyed as entertainment only, not as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. We are committed to promoting responsible gaming practices and supporting players who may be experiencing gambling-related difficulties.
Age Verification
Online casino gaming in Australia is available only to individuals aged 18 years or older. By accessing our site, you confirm that you are of legal age to gamble in your jurisdiction. We take age verification seriously and reserve the right to request proof of age at any time.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
Problem gambling can affect anyone. Please be aware of these common warning signs:
- Chasing Losses: Continuing to gamble to recover money you've lost
- Hiding Gambling Activity: Keeping your gambling secret from family or friends
- Increasing Bets: Needing to gamble with larger amounts to feel the same excitement
- Loss of Control: Gambling longer or with more money than intended
- Neglecting Responsibilities: Missing work, school, or personal commitments due to gambling
- Using Gambling to Escape: Gambling to cope with stress, anxiety, or depression
- Financial Hardship: Borrowing money or accumulating debt to fund gambling
- Failed Attempts to Stop: Repeated unsuccessful efforts to cut back or quit
- Relationship Strain: Conflicts with loved ones about gambling habits
If you recognize any of these signs in your behaviour, please seek help immediately.
Self-Help Tools & Player Protection
Most reputable online casinos offer built-in tools to help you stay in control. Consider using these features:
- Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit within a specified timeframe
- Loss Limits: Cap the amount you're willing to lose during a gaming session
- Reality Checks: Receive regular reminders of how long you've been playing
- Time-Out/Cool-Off Periods: Take a mandatory break from gaming
- Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently exclude yourself from your account
We encourage you to use these tools proactively to maintain healthy gaming habits.
