Responsible Gaming
Gaming Should Be Entertainment
At CS Building Solutions, we're committed to promoting responsible gaming practices. Online pokies and casino games should be enjoyed as a form of entertainment only, not as a way to earn money or solve financial problems.
The house always has a mathematical edge. Only gamble with money you can afford to lose, and remember that losing is a possible outcome every time you play.
Age Verification
You must be 18 years of age or older to gamble in Australia. In some states, the legal age may be higher. It is your responsibility to comply with local laws and regulations in your jurisdiction.
We do not permit gambling by anyone under the legal age. If you are under 18, please do not access our gaming services.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
Problem gambling can develop gradually. If you recognise any of the following warning signs in yourself or someone you know, help is available:
- Chasing losses by gambling more to recover money you've lost
- Gambling with money needed for essentials (rent, bills, food, healthcare)
- Hiding your gambling activities or lying about how much you gamble
- Feeling anxious, irritable, or restless when you try to reduce gambling
- Needing to gamble with increasing amounts to achieve the same excitement
- Neglecting work, school, family, or personal relationships due to gambling
- Using gambling to escape problems or negative emotions
- Borrowing money or going into debt to fund gambling
- Failed attempts to cut back or stop gambling
- Experiencing financial, legal, or relationship difficulties as a result of gambling
If you identify with any of these signs, please reach out for support immediately.
Self-Help Tools & Safer Gambling Features
Many online gaming platforms offer tools to help you maintain control over your gambling. These may include:
- Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit within a specified timeframe (daily, weekly, or monthly)
- Loss Limits: Set a maximum amount you're willing to lose in a given period
- Betting Limits: Control the maximum bet size on individual games
- Reality Checks: Receive periodic reminders of how long you've been playing and how much you've spent
- Time Limits: Set automatic session timeouts to help you take breaks
- Self-Exclusion: Voluntarily ban yourself from accessing gaming platforms for a set period
We encourage you to use these tools proactively to maintain responsible gaming habits.
