Responsible Gaming
Gaming Should Be Entertainment
At Portfolio Melbourne, we're committed to promoting responsible gaming practices. Online gaming should be viewed as entertainment only, not as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. While we provide access to Rocket Play Casino, it's essential to understand that all games involve an element of chance, and the house always has a mathematical advantage.
Please gamble responsibly and only with money you can afford to lose.
Age Verification
You must be at least 18 years of age or the legal gambling age in your jurisdiction to access and use gaming services. In Australia, the legal age for online gambling is 18 years old. We take age verification seriously and reserve the right to request proof of age at any time.
If you are under the legal age, please do not proceed with gaming activities.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
Problem gambling can develop gradually. If you recognise any of the following signs in yourself or someone you know, it may be time to seek help:
- Spending more time or money on gaming than intended
- Chasing losses by gambling more to recover lost money
- Gambling with money allocated for essential expenses (rent, bills, food)
- Hiding gambling activity from family, friends, or partners
- Feeling anxious, irritable, or restless when unable to gamble
- Using gaming as an escape from stress, anxiety, or depression
- Neglecting work, study, or personal relationships due to gaming
- Borrowing money or accumulating debt to fund gaming
- Failed attempts to reduce or control gambling
- Lying about the extent of gaming involvement
Self-Help Tools & Responsible Gaming Features
Most reputable online casinos offer tools to help you maintain control over your gaming:
- Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you're willing to deposit within a specific timeframe (daily, weekly, or monthly)
- Loss Limits: Establish a maximum loss threshold to prevent excessive losses
- Session Time Limits: Set reminders or automatic logout timers to control how long you play
- Reality Checks: Enable pop-up notifications during gaming to help you stay aware of time and money spent
- Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently exclude yourself from accessing gaming accounts
- Account Suspension: Request a cooling-off period away from gaming
Take advantage of these tools to play within your limits. Speak with Rocket Play Casino's customer support to activate responsible gaming features on your account.
