Responsible Gaming
Gaming Should Be Entertainment
At Kaleidore Restaurant Bar, we're committed to promoting responsible gaming practices. Online casino gaming should be enjoyed as a form of entertainment only, not as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. Only gamble with money you can afford to lose, and never view it as an investment or income source.
Age Verification
You must be at least 18 years of age (or the legal age in your jurisdiction) to participate in online casino gaming in Australia. We are committed to preventing underage gambling and strictly enforce age verification on all our partner platforms. If you are under the legal age, please do not attempt to access gaming sites.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
Problem gambling can develop gradually. Please be aware of these warning signs:
- Chasing Losses: Continuing to gamble to recover money you've lost
- Hiding Gambling Activity: Concealing the time or money spent on gambling from family and friends
- Loss of Control: Being unable to stick to set limits or stop when you decide to
- Neglecting Responsibilities: Missing work, school, or family obligations due to gambling
- Gambling with Borrowed Money: Using credit, loans, or borrowed funds to gamble
- Mood Swings: Experiencing irritability, anxiety, or mood changes related to gambling
- Escalating Bets: Needing to bet larger amounts to achieve the same excitement
- Neglecting Personal Care: Declining health, hygiene, or social relationships
- Financial Hardship: Struggling with bills, rent, or other essential expenses
- Failed Attempts to Quit: Repeatedly trying and failing to reduce or stop gambling
Self-Help Tools & Resources
Many online casinos and gaming platforms offer built-in tools to help you maintain control:
- Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount of money you can deposit within a specific time period
- Loss Limits: Establish a maximum amount of losses you're willing to accept
- Reality Checks: Receive periodic reminders about how long you've been playing and how much you've wagered
- Time Limits: Set automatic session time limits to control how long you play
- Self-Exclusion: Voluntarily exclude yourself from accessing gaming platforms for a set period or indefinitely
- Account Closure: Permanently close your gaming account if necessary
We encourage you to use these tools proactively to maintain healthy gaming habits.
