Responsible Gaming
Gaming Should Be Entertainment
At Manus Project, we believe that casino gaming should be enjoyed as a form of entertainment only. Gambling is never a reliable way to earn money or solve financial problems. It should always be undertaken with the understanding that you may lose the money you wager. Please gamble responsibly and within your means.
Age Verification
Online casino gaming is strictly for adults aged 18 years and over in Australia, or the legal gambling age in your jurisdiction. We are committed to preventing underage gambling. If you are under 18, please do not access or use our affiliated casino platforms.
By accessing casino services, you confirm that you are of legal age to gamble in your country or state of residence.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
Problem gambling can develop gradually. If you recognise any of the following signs in yourself or someone you know, it may be time to seek help:
- Spending more money on gambling than you can afford to lose
- Gambling with money needed for essentials (rent, bills, food)
- Chasing losses by gambling more to win back money you've lost
- Hiding your gambling activity from family, friends, or partners
- Feeling anxious, irritable, or restless when not gambling
- Gambling for longer periods than intended
- Neglecting work, study, or personal relationships due to gambling
- Borrowing money to gamble or pay gambling debts
- Using gambling to escape problems or negative emotions
- Being unable to reduce or stop gambling despite wanting to
If you experience any of these warning signs, help is available.
Self-Help Tools & Safer Gaming Features
Most reputable online casinos offer tools to help you maintain control of your gambling. These include:
- Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit within a specified period (daily, weekly, or monthly)
- Loss Limits: Set a maximum amount you are willing to lose during a gaming session
- Reality Checks: Receive periodic reminders about how long you have been playing and how much you've spent
- Session Time Limits: Automatically end your gaming session after a set period
- Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently block access to casino accounts
- Account Cooling-Off: Take a break from gambling for a period you specify
We encourage you to use these tools to help maintain responsible gaming habits.
