Responsible Gaming
Gaming Should Be Entertainment
At Coalition of Mischief, we're committed to promoting responsible gaming practices. When playing at CrownPlay Casino or any online gaming platform, it's important to remember that gambling should only ever be viewed as entertainment, not as a way to earn money or solve financial problems.
Like any form of entertainment, gaming comes with risks. Please gamble responsibly and within your means.
Age Verification
In Australia, you must be at least 18 years of age to participate in gambling activities, including online casino games at CrownPlay Casino.
If you are under 18, please do not attempt to register or play. We take underage gambling very seriously and support efforts to protect young people from gambling-related harms.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
If you recognise any of the following signs in yourself or someone you know, it may indicate problem gambling. Please seek help:
- Chasing losses by gambling more to recover money you've lost
- Gambling with money needed for essential expenses (rent, bills, food)
- Hiding your gambling activity or lying about how much you gamble
- Feeling anxious or irritable when trying to cut down or stop gambling
- Neglecting work, school, family, or other important responsibilities
- Gambling to escape problems or negative emotions
- Borrowing money to fund gambling activities
- Experiencing relationship conflicts due to gambling
- Needing to gamble with increasing amounts to feel the same excitement
- Unsuccessful attempts to reduce or control gambling
Self-Help Tools & Features
Most responsible gaming platforms, including CrownPlay Casino, offer tools to help you maintain control:
- Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit within a specified timeframe
- Loss Limits: Set a maximum amount you're willing to lose during a session
- Betting Limits: Restrict the maximum bet size on individual games
- Reality Checks: Regular reminders during play showing your session duration and money spent
- Time-Out/Cool-Off: Take a break from gaming for hours or days

We encourage you to use these tools proactively as part of your responsible gaming strategy.
