Responsible Gaming
Gambling Should Be Entertainment
At Fair Go Casino Australia, we believe that gambling should be enjoyed as a form of entertainment only, never as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. If you're gambling with money you can't afford to lose, or viewing it as income, it's time to seek help.
Please gamble responsibly and within your means. The house always has an edge, and losses are a real possibility.
Age Verification
You must be at least 18 years of age (or the legal gambling age in your state/territory) to gamble with Fair Go Casino Australia. 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 use our services. Parents and guardians are encouraged to discuss the risks of gambling with young people in their care.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
Do you recognise any of these warning signs in your own behaviour?
- Gambling with money intended for bills, rent, or essentials

If you've checked any of these boxes, please reach out for support today.
Self-Help Tools & Responsible Gambling Features
Most reputable online casinos offer tools to help you maintain control. Consider using:
- Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit within a specified period (daily, weekly, monthly)
- Loss Limits: Set a maximum amount you're willing to lose in a given timeframe
- Reality Checks: Enable pop-up reminders showing your playing time and money spent
- Time Limits: Restrict how long you can play in a single session
- Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently exclude yourself from your account or across multiple operators
- Account Closure: Close your account if you feel you cannot control your gambling
These tools are only effective if you actively use them. Set limits before you start playing, not after.
