Responsible Gaming
Gambling Should Be Entertainment, Not Income
At Eastland Tri Club, we believe that casino gaming should be enjoyed as a form of entertainment only. Gambling should never be viewed as a way to earn money, pay bills, or solve financial problems. Always gamble with money you can afford to lose, and never chase losses or spend beyond your means.
Age Verification
Online casino gaming is only available to individuals who are 18 years of age or older in Australia and New Zealand, or the legal age for gambling in your jurisdiction, whichever is higher.
By accessing our casino partners, you confirm that you meet the legal age requirement and are not prohibited from gambling in your location.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
Problem gambling can develop quickly. If you recognise any of the following signs in yourself or someone you know, please seek help:
- Chasing losses by gambling more to recover money lost
- Gambling with money needed for essentials (rent, food, utilities)
- Hiding gambling activity or lying about the amount spent
- Feeling anxious, irritable, or restless when trying to reduce gambling
- Losing interest in other hobbies, family, or social activities
- Neglecting work, school, or family responsibilities
- Borrowing money or going into debt to gamble
- Gambling longer or with larger amounts than intended
- Repeatedly attempting to cut down or stop gambling without success
- Using gambling to escape problems or emotional distress
Self-Help Tools & Controls
Responsible casino operators offer tools to help you maintain control of your gambling:
- Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit in a day, week, or month
- Loss Limits: Set a maximum amount you're willing to lose during a session
- Reality Checks: Receive periodic reminders of how long you've been playing and how much you've spent
- Session Time Limits: Automatically end your session after a set period
- Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently exclude yourself from a casino for a period you choose
- Account Closure: Permanently close your account if needed
We strongly encourage you to use these tools to stay in control of your gambling activity.
