Responsible Gaming
Gaming Should Be Entertainment
At vssec.org, we are committed to promoting responsible gaming practices. Gambling should only ever be viewed as a form of entertainment, not as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. Please gamble responsibly and within your means.
If you are accessing Neosurf Casino or any online gambling service, it is essential that you understand the risks and play only with money you can afford to lose.
Age Verification
In Australia, you must be at least 18 years of age to gamble legally. By accessing any gambling service through vssec.org, you confirm that you are of legal gambling age in your jurisdiction and that you are not prohibited from gambling under Australian law.
If you are under 18, you must not use any gambling services.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
Problem gambling can affect anyone. Please be aware of these warning signs:
- Chasing losses by gambling more to recover money lost
- Gambling with increasing amounts of money to achieve the same level of excitement
- Difficulty controlling the amount of time or money spent gambling
- Hiding gambling activity from family, friends, or partners
- Neglecting work, education, or family responsibilities due to gambling
- Using gambling as a way to escape problems, stress, or negative emotions
- Borrowing money or going into debt to fund gambling
- Lying about the extent of gambling involvement
- Feeling anxious or irritable when unable to gamble
- Attempting unsuccessfully to reduce or stop gambling
If you recognise any of these signs in yourself or someone you know, it is important to seek help immediately.
