Responsible Gaming
Gambling Should Be Entertainment, Not Income
At Chabathai by the Sea, we're committed to promoting responsible gambling practices. Gaming should only ever be viewed as a form of entertainment, not as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. Please gamble within your means and only with money you can afford to lose.
Age Verification
In Australia, gambling is only legal for individuals aged 18 years and over. We strictly verify the age of all users and do not permit underage gambling under any circumstances. If you are under 18, please do not use our services.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
If you notice any of the following signs in yourself or someone you know, problem gambling may be developing:
- Chasing losses by gambling more to recover money you've lost
- Hiding gambling activity or lying about how much you gamble
- Spending more time or money on gambling than intended
- Neglecting family, work, or personal responsibilities due to gambling
- Feeling anxious, irritable, or restless when trying to reduce gambling
- Using gambling to escape problems or manage negative emotions
- Borrowing money or going into debt to fund gambling
- Failed attempts to cut back or stop gambling
- Gambling with increasing amounts of money to achieve the same excitement
Self-Help Tools & Controls
We offer a range of tools to help you maintain control over your gambling:
- Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit within a specified period (daily, weekly, or monthly)
- Loss Limits: Define a maximum amount you're willing to lose over a set timeframe
- Reality Checks: Receive periodic reminders during your gaming sessions about how long you've been playing and how much you've wagered
- Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently exclude yourself from our platform if you feel you've lost control
- Time-Out Options: Take a break from gaming for a period of your choosing
We encourage all players to use these tools proactively as part of their responsible gaming approach.
