Responsible Gaming
Gambling Should Be Entertainment
At Coastland Aviation, we believe gambling should only be viewed as a form of entertainment, not as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. Casino games are designed with a built-in house advantage, meaning the odds always favor the casino over time. Only gamble with money you can afford to lose, and never chase losses or use gambling as an income source.
Age Verification
In Australia, you must be at least 18 years of age to participate in gambling activities. We take age verification seriously and are committed to preventing access by minors. All players are required to verify their age during account registration and may be asked to provide proof of age at any time.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
If you recognize any of the following signs in your gambling behavior, please seek help immediately:
- Constantly thinking about gambling or past gambling experiences
- Needing to gamble with increasing amounts of money to achieve the same excitement
- Repeatedly attempting to cut back or stop gambling without success
- Becoming restless or irritable when trying to reduce or stop gambling
- Gambling to escape problems or relieve negative emotions
- Lying to family, friends, or others about the extent of your gambling
- Chasing losses by gambling more to recover money lost
- Jeopardizing relationships, education, or career opportunities due to gambling
- Borrowing money or going into debt to finance gambling
- Being unable to account for time spent gambling
Self-Help Tools
Most online casinos offer built-in tools to help you maintain control over your gambling:
- Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit over a specified period (daily, weekly, or monthly)
- Loss Limits: Establish a maximum amount of money you're willing to lose in a given timeframe
- Reality Checks: Receive periodic notifications reminding you of how long you've been playing and how much you've wagered
- Self-Exclusion: Voluntarily exclude yourself from your account for a set period, preventing access to gambling
- Session Time Limits: Set automatic logout timers to control how long you play in one session
We encourage you to use these tools proactively to maintain healthy gambling habits.
