Responsible Gaming
Gambling Should Be Entertainment
At Rocket Play and across brianmanker.com, we believe that online casino gaming should be enjoyed as a form of entertainment only. Gambling is never a reliable way to earn money or solve financial problems. Please only gamble with money you can afford to lose, and set limits that work for your budget.
Age Verification
Rocket Play and all online casino gaming in Australia is strictly for players aged 18 years or older. If you are under the legal age of gambling in your jurisdiction, you must not participate in any gambling activities. We take age verification seriously and conduct checks to ensure compliance with Australian gambling laws.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
If you recognise any of the following signs in yourself or someone you know, it may indicate problem gambling. Please seek help:
- Chasing losses by gambling more to recover money lost
- Hiding gambling activities or lying about the amount of time spent gambling
- Gambling with money needed for essential expenses (rent, bills, food)
- Feeling anxious or irritable when unable to gamble
- Gambling for longer periods than intended
- Neglecting family, friends, work, or other responsibilities due to gambling
- Borrowing money to gamble or to cover gambling losses
- Failed attempts to cut back or stop gambling
- Using gambling to escape problems or negative emotions
- Experiencing financial difficulties as a result of gambling
Self-Help Tools
Most online casinos, including Rocket Play, offer responsible gaming tools to help you maintain control:
- Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit within a specified timeframe (daily, weekly, or monthly)
- Loss Limits: Restrict the amount of money you are willing to lose in a set period
- Session Time Limits: Set automatic reminders or session limits to control how long you play
- Reality Checks: Request regular pop-up reminders showing your play time and money spent
- Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently exclude yourself from accessing your account
We encourage you to use these tools proactively to maintain a healthy gaming experience.
