Responsible Gaming
Gambling Should Be Entertainment
At PA Hotel, we believe that online casino gaming should be an enjoyable form of entertainment only. Gambling is never a way to earn money or solve financial problems. It's important to gamble only with money you can afford to lose and to set strict limits on your play.
Please read the information below to understand how to gamble responsibly and where to find support if you need it.
Age Verification
Online casino gaming in Australia is only available to players aged 18 years and over. We are committed to preventing underage gambling and verify the age of all players before allowing access to our services.
If you are under 18, or under the legal age in your jurisdiction, you must not create an account or attempt to play.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
Problem gambling can develop gradually. Be aware of these warning signs:
- Chasing losses: Trying to win back money you've lost by gambling more
- Hiding gambling: Keeping your gambling secret from family, friends, or partners
- Increasing stakes: Needing to bet more money to get the same level of excitement
- Loss of control: Being unable to stop gambling or stick to your limits
- Neglecting responsibilities: Missing work, school, or family commitments due to gambling
- Gambling with money you need: Using money meant for bills, rent, or essential expenses
- Borrowing to gamble: Taking loans or borrowing money to fund gambling
- Mood changes: Becoming anxious, irritable, or depressed when unable to gamble
- Failed attempts to quit: Repeatedly trying and failing to reduce or stop gambling
- Using gambling to escape: Gambling to cope with stress, anxiety, loneliness, or other problems
If you recognize any of these signs in yourself or someone else, help is available.
