Responsible Gaming
Gambling Should Be Entertainment
At Highlands Press, we are committed to promoting responsible gaming practices. Gambling should be viewed as a form of entertainment, not as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. Please gamble within your means and only with money you can afford to lose.
RocketPlay Casino Australia and all affiliated operators are committed to providing a safe and responsible gaming environment for all players.
Age Verification
In Australia, gambling is only legal for individuals aged 18 years and over. It is your responsibility to ensure you meet the legal age requirement in your jurisdiction before participating in any gambling activities.
If you are under 18, you must not access or use any online casino services. Parents and guardians are encouraged to use filtering software to restrict access to gambling websites.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
Problem gambling can develop gradually. Be aware of these warning signs:
- Chasing losses by gambling more to recover money lost
- Gambling with money needed for essential expenses (rent, bills, food)
- Hiding gambling activities or lying about the amount of time or money spent
- Neglecting family, work, or social responsibilities due to gambling
- Feeling anxious, irritable, or restless when not gambling
- Increasing the amount wagered to achieve the same level of excitement
- Unsuccessful attempts to cut down or stop gambling
- Using gambling to escape problems or cope with negative emotions
- Borrowing money to gamble or pay off gambling debts
- Experiencing financial difficulties related to gambling
If you recognise any of these signs in yourself or someone you know, seek help immediately.
