Responsible Gaming
Gaming Should Be Entertainment
At Forage and Graze, we believe that casino gaming should be enjoyed as a form of entertainment only, not as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. While we want you to have fun, it's important to gamble responsibly and within your means.
Remember: the house always has an edge. Only bet what you can afford to lose, and never chase losses.
Age Verification
By accessing this website and participating in any gaming activities, you confirm that you are:
- At least 18 years of age, or the legal minimum age for gambling in your jurisdiction
- In Australia, this means you must be 18 years or older
- Not prohibited from gambling under any Australian state or territory laws
We take age verification seriously and reserve the right to request proof of age at any time.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
If you recognise any of these signs in yourself or someone you know, it may be time to seek help:
- Chasing Losses: Trying to win back money you've lost by gambling more
- Hiding Gambling: Keeping your gambling activity secret from family or friends
- Spending More Than Planned: Gambling for longer or with more money than intended
- Neglecting Responsibilities: Gambling instead of attending to work, study, or family obligations
- Borrowing to Gamble: Taking loans or using credit to fund gambling activities
- Mood Changes: Becoming irritable, anxious, or depressed when unable to gamble
- Lying About Gambling: Deceiving others about the amount of time or money spent gambling
- Failed Attempts to Stop: Repeatedly trying and failing to reduce or quit gambling
- Gambling as an Escape: Using gambling to deal with stress, anxiety, or other emotional problems
Self-Help Tools & Safer Gaming Features
Most reputable casinos offer tools to help you stay in control of your gaming:
- Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit in a day, week, or month
- Loss Limits: Set a cap on how much you're willing to lose in a gaming session
- Time-Out/Break: Take a temporary break from gaming for a specified period
- Reality Checks: Receive reminders during gaming sessions about how long you've been playing and how much you've spent
- Self-Exclusion: Voluntarily exclude yourself from gaming for a set period or indefinitely
We encourage you to use these tools. Speak with your casino operator about implementing these controls on your account.
