Responsible Gaming

Our Commitment to Responsible Gaming

At Garage13Customs, we are committed to promoting responsible gaming practices. We believe that gambling should be viewed as entertainment only, not as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. If you choose to play at our recommended casinos, please do so responsibly and within your means.

Age Verification

You must be at least 18 years of age (or the legal gambling age in your jurisdiction) to access and use casino gaming services in Australia. By accessing any casino platform through our affiliate links, you confirm that you meet the legal age requirement.

If you are under 18, please do not proceed. Underage gambling is illegal and harmful.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

Problem gambling can affect anyone. Please be aware of these warning signs:

• Spending more time and money on gambling than intended
• Chasing losses by gambling more to win back money you've lost
• Hiding gambling activity or lying about the amount you gamble
• Neglecting family, friends, work, or other responsibilities due to gambling
• Using gambling to escape problems, stress, or negative emotions
• Borrowing money or going into debt to fund gambling
• Feeling anxious, irritable, or restless when unable to gamble
• Failed attempts to reduce or control gambling
• Gambling with money needed for essentials like rent, bills, or food
• Experiencing relationship conflicts due to gambling habits

If you recognise any of these signs in yourself or someone you know, please seek help immediately.

Self-Help Tools & Responsible Gaming Features

Most reputable online casinos offer tools to help you stay in control. These include:

• Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit within a specific time period (daily, weekly, or monthly)
• Loss Limits: Set a maximum amount you are willing to lose
• Reality Checks: Receive regular reminders of how long you've been playing and how much you've wagered
• Self-Exclusion: Voluntarily exclude yourself from gambling for a set period or indefinitely
• Account Closure: Permanently close your account if needed

Always use these tools if available. They are designed to protect you and maintain control over your gambling behaviour.
