Responsible Gaming
Gaming Should Be Entertainment
At VR Smart View, we believe that online casino gaming should be an enjoyable form of entertainment, not a way to earn money or solve financial problems. While gaming can be fun and exciting, it's important to approach it responsibly and within your means.
Please gamble only with money you can afford to lose, and never use gaming as a substitute for employment or financial stability.
Age Verification
Online casino gaming is strictly for adults only. In Australia, you must be at least 18 years of age to participate in online gambling activities.
By accessing Neosurf Casino through VR Smart View, you confirm that you are 18 years of age or older and meet all legal requirements in your jurisdiction.
If you are under the legal gambling age, please do not proceed. Parents and guardians are encouraged to use parental controls and monitoring tools to prevent underage access.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
Problem gambling can develop gradually. If you recognise any of the following signs in yourself or someone you know, it may be time to seek help:
- Spending more time or money on gambling than intended
- Chasing losses by gambling more to recover money lost
- Hiding gambling activities or lying about the amount you gamble
- Feeling irritable or anxious when not gambling
- Neglecting work, study, family, or social responsibilities due to gambling
- Borrowing money or getting into debt to fund gambling
- Using gambling to escape problems, stress, or negative emotions
- Failed attempts to cut back or stop gambling
- Experiencing financial difficulties or money problems
- Jeopardizing relationships, education, or career opportunities
If you recognise these signs, reach out for support immediately.
Self-Help Tools & Responsible Gaming Features
Most reputable online casinos, including those using Neosurf for payments, offer built-in tools to help you maintain control:
Deposit Limits
Set a maximum amount you can deposit within a specific timeframe (daily, weekly, or monthly). Once the limit is reached, no further deposits can be made until the period resets.
Loss Limits
Establish a maximum amount you're willing to lose over a set period. Gaming will be restricted once this limit is reached.
Reality Checks
Enable pop-up notifications during gaming sessions to remind you how long you've been playing and how much you've wagered.
Session Time Limits
Set automatic session timeouts to help you take regular breaks and manage your gaming duration.
Self-Exclusion
If you need to take a break from gambling, use self-exclusion to temporarily or permanently block your account from accessing casino games. This is a powerful tool for those struggling with problem gambling.
Contact your casino provider to activate any of these tools. They are available at no cost.
