Responsible Gaming
Gambling Should Be Entertainment
At Golden Rooster School, we believe that gambling should only ever be viewed as a form of entertainment, not as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. Betting should be enjoyable and within your means – never gamble with money you cannot afford to lose.
If you choose to participate in gambling activities, please do so responsibly and within your limits.
Age Verification
All users must be at least 18 years of age (or the legal gambling age in your jurisdiction) to access betting services. We are committed to preventing underage gambling and take age verification seriously.
If you are under the legal age limit, please do not use our services.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
Problem gambling can develop gradually. Please be aware of these warning signs:
- Chasing losses by gambling more to recover money you've lost
- Gambling with increasing amounts of money to achieve the same excitement
- Hiding or lying about the amount of time or money spent gambling
- Difficulty controlling, reducing, or stopping gambling activities
- Gambling to escape problems, stress, anxiety, or depression
- Borrowing money or using savings to fund gambling
- Neglecting work, school, family, or personal relationships due to gambling
- Experiencing mood swings or irritability when unable to gamble
- Failed attempts to cut back or quit gambling
- Physical symptoms such as restlessness or insomnia
If you recognise any of these signs in yourself or someone you know, please seek help immediately.
Self-Help Tools & Protective Measures
Responsible gambling tools can help you maintain control. These include:
- Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you're willing to deposit within a specific timeframe (daily, weekly, or monthly)
- Loss Limits: Set a maximum amount you're willing to lose before stopping play
- Session Time Limits: Set time limits for your gambling sessions to prevent excessive play
- Reality Checks: Regular reminders during play to help you stay aware of time and money spent
- Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently exclude yourself from betting accounts
- Account Pause: Take a break from gambling for a set period
Most reputable betting operators provide these tools. Use them to help maintain control over your gambling.
