Responsible Gaming

Gambling Should Be Entertainment

At rhm.care, we're committed to promoting responsible gaming practices. It's important to understand that online pokies and casino games should be viewed as entertainment only, not as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. The house always has a mathematical advantage, and losing is always a possibility.

Play only with money you can afford to lose, and set strict limits before you start playing.

Age Verification

Online gambling in Australia is restricted to individuals aged 18 years and over. By accessing rhm.care and participating in any gambling activities, you confirm that you meet the legal age requirement in your jurisdiction.

If you are under the legal gambling age, please do not use our services. Parents and guardians should monitor young people's internet usage to ensure they do not access gambling websites.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

Recognizing the warning signs early can help you address problem gambling before it becomes a serious issue. Ask yourself if any of the following apply to you:

• ☐ Constantly thinking about gambling or past gambling experiences
• ☐ Needing to gamble with increasing amounts of money to achieve the same excitement
• ☐ Repeatedly trying to cut back or stop gambling without success
• ☐ Chasing losses by gambling more to win back money you've lost
• ☐ Lying to family members, friends, or others about the extent of your gambling
• ☐ Jeopardizing relationships, employment, or educational opportunities due to gambling
• ☐ Using gambling to escape problems, anxiety, depression, or other negative feelings
• ☐ Borrowing money or going into debt to finance gambling
• ☐ Feeling anxious, irritable, or restless when trying to reduce or stop gambling
• ☐ Gambling with money meant for essential expenses like rent, utilities, or food

If you recognize any of these signs in your own behavior, it's important to seek help immediately.

Self-Help Tools & Responsible Gaming Features

Many online gaming platforms offer built-in tools to help you maintain control over your gambling. These include:

• Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit within a specific time period (daily, weekly, or monthly)
• Loss Limits: Restrict the maximum amount you're willing to lose in a given period
• Betting Limits: Cap the size of individual bets
• Reality Checks: Receive periodic reminders about your gaming session duration and spending
• Time-Out/Cool-Off Periods: Temporarily suspend your account to take a break from gambling
• Self-Exclusion: Permanently or temporarily exclude yourself from accessing gambling platforms

We encourage you to use these tools proactively to maintain responsible gaming habits.
