Responsible Gaming
Gaming Should Be Entertainment
At byronbayscouts.com, we're committed to promoting responsible gaming practices. It's important to remember that casino gaming should only ever be viewed as a form of entertainment, not as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. Always gamble within your means and never bet more than you can afford to lose.
Age Verification
In Australia, you must be at least 18 years of age to participate in online casino gaming. We take age verification seriously and do not permit access to gaming services for anyone under the legal gambling age. If you are under 18, please do not attempt to access King Johnnie Casino or any other online gambling platform.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
If you experience any of the following, you may be developing a gambling problem. Please seek help immediately:
- Chasing losses by gambling more to try to recover money you've lost
- Gambling with increasing amounts of money to achieve the same level of excitement
- Hiding your gambling activities or lying about how much you gamble
- Neglecting family, work, or other important responsibilities due to gambling
- Feeling anxious, irritable, or restless when trying to reduce or stop gambling
- Using gambling as an escape from problems or negative emotions
- Borrowing money to fund gambling activities
- Experiencing relationship problems or conflicts related to gambling
- Failing at repeated attempts to cut back or stop gambling
- Gambling beyond your planned budget or time limits
Self-Help Tools & Controls
Most responsible online casinos, including King Johnnie Casino, offer tools to help you maintain control over your gaming:
- Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit within a specific timeframe (daily, weekly, or monthly)
- Loss Limits: Restrict the amount of money you're willing to lose during a gaming session
- Reality Checks: Enable reminders during play to help you keep track of time and money spent
- Session Time Limits: Set automatic timeouts to limit consecutive gaming sessions
- Self-Exclusion: Voluntarily exclude yourself from gaming for a set period, preventing access to your account
We encourage you to use these tools proactively as part of your responsible gaming strategy.
