Responsible Gaming
Gambling Should Be Entertainment, Not Income
At acrylicphotoblocks.com, we're committed to promoting responsible gambling practices. Online casino gaming should only ever be viewed as entertainment, similar to going to the movies or playing sports. It should never be considered a way to earn money or solve financial problems.
Only gamble with money you can afford to lose, and never chase losses or borrow money to gamble.
Age Verification
In Australia, you must be at least 18 years of age to participate in online gambling activities. By accessing our PayPal casino services, you confirm that you are of legal age to gamble in your jurisdiction.
If you are under 18, please do not proceed. We take age verification seriously and reserve the right to request proof of age at any time.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
Be aware of these warning signs that may indicate a gambling problem:
- Constantly thinking about gambling or past gambling experiences
- Needing to gamble with increasing amounts of money to achieve the desired excitement
- Repeated unsuccessful attempts to control, cut back, or stop gambling
- Feeling restless or irritable when trying to cut down or stop gambling
- Gambling as a way to escape problems or relieve negative emotions
- Chasing losses by returning another day to "get even"
- Lying to family members, therapists, or others about the extent of gambling
- Jeopardizing or losing important relationships, education, or career opportunities due to gambling
- Borrowing money or selling possessions to fund gambling
- Spending more time and money gambling than intended
If you recognize any of these signs in yourself or others, seek help immediately.
