Responsible Gaming

Gambling at 19Rich is intended for entertainment purposes only and should never be considered a source of income or financial solution. We are committed to promoting responsible gaming and providing players with the necessary tools and information to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience.

Self-Control Tools

19Rich offers various responsible gambling tools designed to help players maintain control over their gaming habits. These tools include:

• Deposit Limits: Players can set daily, weekly, or monthly deposit limits to control how much money they can add to their accounts.
• Loss Limits: Players have the option to set limits on the amount they can lose within a specified time frame.
• Wagering Limits: This feature allows players to set the maximum amount they can wager in a given period.
• Session Time Limits: Players can restrict the amount of time they spend gaming in a single session, promoting breaks and reducing excessive play.
• Cooling-Off Periods: Players can take a temporary break from gambling, which can last from a few days to several weeks.
• Self-Exclusion Options: Players can choose to exclude themselves from gambling activities for a longer duration. This can be set for a specific period or indefinitely.

Self-Assessment

To help players identify early signs of problematic gambling behavior, we encourage them to reflect on the following questions:

1. Do you often gamble more than you intended?
2. Have you ever felt the need to gamble with larger amounts to achieve the same level of enjoyment?
3. Do you find yourself chasing losses by trying to win back lost money?
4. Have you noticed a change in your mood or behavior when gambling?
5. Are you using gambling as a way to escape from stress or negative emotions?
6. Have you experienced financial difficulties due to your gambling?
7. Do you keep your gambling activities a secret from friends or family?

If players answer ‘yes’ to any of these questions, it may be an indication of problematic gambling behavior. Taking immediate action is crucial.

Protection of Minors

19Rich prioritizes the protection of minors by implementing strict safeguards and procedures to prevent underage access. These measures include:

• Age Verification: All players must provide valid identification to confirm they are of legal gambling age.
• KYC Checks: Know Your Customer (KYC) procedures are in place to ensure that only eligible individuals can create an account and participate in gambling activities.

We take our responsibility to protect younger audiences seriously and are committed to maintaining a safe gaming environment.

• GamCare: Offers advice and support to anyone affected by gambling problems.
• BeGambleAware: Provides information to help people make informed decisions about their gambling.
• Local Support Services: Various local organizations in Australia specialize in gambling addiction and can offer tailored support.
