Responsible Gaming

Our Commitment to Responsible Gaming

At Rock In Shepparton, we're committed to promoting responsible gaming practices. Gambling should be enjoyed as entertainment only, not as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. Please gamble responsibly and within your means.

Age Verification

You must be at least 18 years of age to access and use our gaming services in Australia. We take age verification seriously and reserve the right to request proof of identity. By using our site, you confirm that you meet the legal age requirement in your jurisdiction.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

If you notice any of the following signs in yourself or someone else, it may indicate problem gambling:

• Spending more money or time gambling than intended
• Chasing losses by gambling more to recover money lost
• Hiding gambling activities or lying about the amount spent
• Borrowing money to gamble
• Neglecting family, work, or other responsibilities due to gambling
• Feeling anxious or irritable when trying to cut down or stop gambling
• Using gambling to escape problems or negative emotions
• Failed attempts to control or reduce gambling
• Experiencing relationship conflicts due to gambling habits
• Financial difficulties related to gambling activities

Self-Help Tools

Most gaming platforms offer tools to help you maintain control. Consider using:

• Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you're willing to deposit within a specific time period
• Loss Limits: Establish a cap on how much you're prepared to lose
• Reality Checks: Enable reminders during gaming sessions to help you track time spent
• Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently exclude yourself from gaming services
• Time Limits: Set session duration limits to prevent extended play
• Session Breaks: Take regular breaks to reassess your gambling behavior
