Responsible Gaming

Our Commitment to Responsible Gaming

At Status the Play, we're committed to promoting responsible gaming practices. We want to emphasize that gambling should be enjoyed as entertainment only, not as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. Casino games are designed for fun and relaxation, with outcomes determined by chance. Never gamble more than you can afford to lose.

Age Verification

You must be 18 years of age or older (or the legal gambling age in your jurisdiction) to access Fair Go Casino or any gambling services promoted on this website. We take age verification seriously and comply with all Australian gambling regulations. If you are under the legal age, please do not attempt to gamble.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

If you experience any of the following, you may be developing a gambling problem:

  • Chasing losses: Trying to win back money you've lost by gambling more
  • Loss of control: Being unable to stick to limits or stop when you intended to
  • Hiding gambling: Keeping your gambling activity secret from family and friends
  • Increased stakes: Needing to bet larger amounts to feel the same excitement
  • Neglecting responsibilities: Missing work, school, or family obligations due to gambling
  • Financial problems: Borrowing money or experiencing debt because of gambling
  • Mood changes: Becoming irritable, anxious, or depressed when not gambling
  • Unsuccessful attempts to quit: Repeatedly trying and failing to reduce or stop gambling
  • Escape motivation: Gambling to escape problems, stress, or negative emotions
  • Relationship strain: Gambling causing conflict with loved ones

If you recognize any of these signs in yourself, please seek help immediately.
