Responsible Gaming
Introduction
At Brothers Keeper Cafe, we believe that online gaming should be enjoyed as entertainment only. Gaming is never a reliable way to earn money or solve financial problems. Please gamble responsibly and only with money you can afford to lose. If you find yourself struggling with your gaming habits, support is available.
Age Verification
By accessing Playamo through our site, you confirm that you are at least 18 years of age or the legal age for gambling in your jurisdiction in Australia, whichever is higher. Gambling is strictly prohibited for minors. 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 the following signs in your own behaviour, please seek help immediately:
- Spending more time or money on gambling than intended
- Chasing losses by gambling more to recover money lost
- Hiding your gambling activities from friends or family
- Gambling to escape problems, stress, or negative emotions
- Neglecting work, school, or personal relationships due to gambling
- Borrowing money to gamble or pay gambling debts
- Feeling anxious or irritable when attempting to reduce gambling
- Unsuccessful attempts to control or stop gambling
- Using gambling as a way to solve financial difficulties
- Lying to others about the extent of your gambling
Self-Help Tools
Playamo provides several tools to help you maintain control of your gaming:
- Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit within a specified time period
- Loss Limits: Restrict the amount you can lose during a gaming session
- Reality Checks: Receive regular reminders during play to check how long you've been gaming
- Self-Exclusion: Voluntarily exclude yourself from your account for a period you choose (minimum 6 months)
- Account Closure: Permanently close your account if you wish to stop gambling
We encourage you to use these tools proactively. For assistance setting these limits, contact Playamo's customer support team.
