Responsible Gaming
Gaming Should Be Entertainment
Online casino gaming should be enjoyed as a form of entertainment only. It is not a way to earn money or solve financial problems. Always gamble within your means and only with money you can afford to lose. Remember that the house always has a mathematical advantage, and losing is a real possibility every time you play.
Age Verification
You must be at least 18 years of age (or the legal gambling age in your state or territory) to participate in online casino gaming. By accessing Richard Online Casino through this website, you confirm that you meet the legal age requirement in your jurisdiction.
If you are under the legal gambling age, please do not proceed. Underage gambling is illegal and can cause serious harm.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
If you recognise any of the following signs in your own behaviour, you may be developing a gambling problem:
- Chasing losses by gambling with more money to try to win back what you've lost
- Gambling with increasingly larger amounts to get the same level of excitement
- Lying to family, friends, or others about how much you gamble or how much money you've lost
- Neglecting work, school, family, or other important responsibilities due to gambling
- Feeling anxious, irritable, or restless when trying to reduce or stop gambling
- Using gambling to escape problems, stress, or negative emotions
- Borrowing money or going into debt to fund gambling activities
- Failed attempts to control, reduce, or stop gambling
- Gambling secretly or hiding evidence of gambling activity
- Jeopardising relationships, education, career, or financial security because of gambling
If you recognise any of these signs, it's important to seek help immediately.
Self-Help Tools & Safer Gambling Features
Most responsible online casinos offer tools to help you maintain control of your gambling:
- Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit within a specified time period (daily, weekly, or monthly)
- Loss Limits: Set a maximum amount you're willing to lose in a given timeframe
- Session Time Limits: Set a time limit for how long you can play in one sitting
- Reality Checks: Receive periodic reminders during gameplay about how much time and money you've spent
- Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently exclude yourself from accessing casino sites
- Account Closure: Permanently close your account if you wish to stop gambling entirely
These tools are designed to help you gamble more responsibly. We encourage you to use them.
