Responsible Gaming
Introduction
At After Dark Party Bus, we believe that online casino gaming should be enjoyed as entertainment only, not as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. Gambling should never be viewed as an investment or income source. Please gamble 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 use online casinos. We are committed to preventing underage gambling and reserve the right to verify your age at any time. If you are under the legal age, please do not participate in gambling activities.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
If you recognise any of the following signs, you may be developing a gambling problem:
- Chasing losses by gambling more to recover money lost
- Gambling with money you cannot afford to lose
- Hiding your gambling activities from family, friends, or partners
- Spending increasing amounts of time and money on gambling
- Neglecting work, study, or family responsibilities due to gambling
- Experiencing mood swings or irritability when unable to gamble
- Borrowing money or going into debt to fund gambling
- Lying about the extent of your gambling
- Feeling anxious or depressed when not gambling
- Failed attempts to reduce or stop gambling
Self-Help Tools
Most reputable online casinos offer tools to help you stay in control of your gambling:
- Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit within a specified time period
- Loss Limits: Set a maximum amount you're willing to lose
- Reality Checks: Receive regular notifications about how long you've been playing and how much you've wagered
- Session Time Limits: Automatically end your gaming session after a set duration
- Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently exclude yourself from gambling accounts
Take advantage of these features to maintain control over your gambling habits.
