Responsible Gaming

Introduction

At Cake Studio Adelaide, we are committed to promoting responsible gaming practices. Gambling should be viewed as entertainment only, not as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. We encourage all players to gamble within their means and to seek help if gambling becomes problematic.

Age Verification

You must be at least 18 years of age (or the legal gambling age in your jurisdiction) to participate in any gambling activities. Gambling is illegal for minors in Australia. By using our services, you confirm that you meet the legal age requirement in your location.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

If you experience any of the following, you may have a problem with gambling:

• Spending more time or money on gambling than intended
• Chasing losses by gambling more to recover money lost
• Lying to family, friends, or others about gambling activity
• Neglecting work, school, family, or personal responsibilities due to gambling
• Feeling anxious, irritable, or restless when trying to cut down or stop gambling
• Using gambling to escape problems or relieve stress
• Borrowing money to gamble or pay gambling debts
• Having relationship problems due to gambling
• Failing to control gambling despite repeated attempts to stop
• Thinking about gambling constantly or planning the next opportunity

Self-Help Tools

We provide several tools to help you maintain control of your gambling:

• Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit within a specified timeframe (daily, weekly, or monthly)
• Loss Limits: Set a maximum amount you are willing to lose during a gambling session
• Reality Checks: Receive periodic reminders of how long you have been gambling and how much you have wagered
• Self-Exclusion: Exclude yourself from our platform for a period you choose, preventing access to your account

To access these tools or for more information, please contact our customer support team.
