Responsible Gaming
Our Commitment to Responsible Gaming
At 51 Shades of Maggie, we're committed to promoting responsible gaming practices. Gaming should be enjoyed as entertainment only, never as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. Please gamble within your means and always play for fun.
Age Verification
Online gaming at Fair Go Casino is only available to players aged 18 years and over, or the legal gambling age in your jurisdiction within Australia. We take age verification seriously and reserve the right to request proof of age at any time. If you are under the legal gambling age, please do not access our platform.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
Problem gambling can affect anyone. Please be aware of these warning signs:
- Spending more time and money on gambling than intended
- Chasing losses by gambling more to recover money lost
- Hiding gambling activity or lying about the amount spent
- Neglecting family, work, or other responsibilities due to gambling
- Borrowing money to gamble or gambling with money needed for essentials
- Feeling anxious, irritable, or depressed when not gambling
- Unsuccessful attempts to cut down or stop gambling
- Using gambling to escape problems or negative emotions
- Family members expressing concern about your gambling
If you recognize any of these signs in yourself or someone you know, please reach out for help.
Self-Help Tools
Fair Go Casino offers several tools to help you maintain control of your gaming:
- Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you're willing to deposit within a specified timeframe (daily, weekly, or monthly)
- Loss Limits: Establish a maximum loss limit to protect your bankroll
- Reality Checks: Receive periodic reminders of how long you've been playing and how much you've spent
- Session Time Limits: Set automatic session timeouts to encourage regular breaks
- Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently exclude yourself from your account if you need a break from gaming
We encourage you to use these tools proactively as part of responsible gaming.
