Responsible Gaming

Gambling Should Be Entertainment

At Codgers the Movie, we're committed to promoting responsible gaming practices. It's important to remember that gambling should only ever be viewed as a form of entertainment, not as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. Like any entertainment activity, it should only be engaged in with money you can afford to lose.

If you choose to gamble, please do so responsibly and within your means.

Age Verification

You must be at least 18 years of age (or the legal gambling age in your state or territory) to participate in online casino gaming in Australia. It is illegal for anyone under this age to gamble online or in person. All operators featured on this site are required to verify your age and identity before allowing you to play.

If you are under the legal gambling age, please do not attempt to access casino services.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

Be aware of these warning signs that may indicate a gambling problem:

• Spending more time and money on gambling than intended
• Chasing losses by gambling more to try to recover money lost
• Hiding gambling activity or lying about the amount you gamble
• Neglecting family, work, or personal responsibilities due to gambling
• Gambling with money intended for bills, rent, food, or other essentials
• Feeling anxious, irritable, or restless when not gambling
• Borrowing money to fund gambling activities
• Failed attempts to cut down or stop gambling
• Using gambling as a way to escape problems or negative emotions
• Experiencing relationship strain due to gambling habits

If you recognise any of these signs in yourself or someone else, help is available.

Self-Help Tools & Controls

Reputable online casinos provide tools to help you maintain control over your gambling:

• Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit within a specific timeframe (daily, weekly, or monthly)
• Loss Limits: Set a maximum amount you're willing to lose during a gambling session
• Session Limits: Set time limits for how long you can play in one session
• Reality Checks: Enable reminders that pop up during gameplay to help you stay aware of time and money spent
• Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently exclude yourself from accessing casino sites
• Account Closure: Close your account if you wish to stop gambling entirely

Use these tools to help maintain control and gamble within your limits.
