Responsible Gaming

Gaming Should Be Entertainment

Online casino gaming should be enjoyed as a form of entertainment only, not as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. Like any form of entertainment, it carries risks and should only be undertaken with money you can afford to lose.

At dinosaurgame.run, we are committed to promoting safe and responsible gaming practices for all our users.

Age Verification

Online gambling in Australia is only available to individuals who are 18 years of age or older. It is your responsibility to ensure you meet this legal requirement before participating in any gaming activities.

We strongly encourage parents and guardians to discuss responsible gaming with young people and to implement parental controls where appropriate.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

Problem gambling can develop gradually. If you recognise any of the following signs in yourself or someone you know, please seek help:

• Chasing losses — gambling more money to recover losses
• Hiding gambling activity — concealing the amount of time or money spent gambling
• Loss of control — being unable to stop or reduce gambling
• Gambling with money needed for essentials — using rent, bills, or grocery money
• Neglecting responsibilities — missing work, school, or family commitments
• Mood changes — becoming anxious, irritable, or depressed when not gambling
• Relationship problems — conflicts with family or friends about gambling
• Borrowing money — taking loans or using credit to fund gambling
• Tolerance building — needing to gamble more to achieve the same excitement
• Failed attempts to quit — repeatedly trying and failing to stop or cut down

Self-Help Tools

Most online casinos offer tools to help you stay in control of your gaming:

• Deposit Limits — Set a maximum amount you can deposit within a specific timeframe (daily, weekly, or monthly)
• Loss Limits — Set a maximum amount you are willing to lose during a gaming session
• Reality Checks — Receive regular reminders about how long you've been playing and how much you've spent
• Session Time Limits — Automatically end your gaming session after a set duration
• Self-Exclusion — Temporarily or permanently exclude yourself from gaming for a period you choose
• Account Closure — Permanently close your account if you wish to stop gambling

We encourage you to use these tools proactively to maintain control of your gaming habits.
