Responsible Gaming
Gambling Should Be Entertainment
At Waratah Records, we believe that online casino gaming should be enjoyable entertainment only. Gambling is never a reliable way to earn money or solve financial problems. Please gamble responsibly and only with money you can afford to lose.
If you're in Australia and need support, help is available 24/7 through confidential services.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
Problem gambling can develop quickly. Check yourself against these warning signs:
- Chasing losses by gambling more to win back money you've lost
- Gambling with larger amounts to get the same excitement
- Hiding or lying about your gambling activity
- Neglecting work, school, family, or relationships due to gambling
- Borrowing money or using credit to fund gambling
- Feeling anxious, irritable, or depressed when not gambling
- Spending more time and money on gambling than intended
- Failed attempts to stop or reduce gambling
- Using gambling to escape problems or relieve stress
If you recognize any of these signs in yourself or someone you know, it's time to seek help.
Self-Help Tools & Safer Gambling Features
Most reputable online casinos offer built-in tools to help you maintain control:
- Deposit Limits: Set a daily, weekly, or monthly limit on how much you can deposit
- Loss Limits: Cap the amount you're willing to lose in a set period
- Session Time Limits: Receive reminders or automatic logout after a set duration
- Reality Check Reminders: Get pop-up notifications during gameplay to encourage breaks

Use these tools proactively. They're designed to help you play safely and within your means.
