Responsible Gaming
Gaming Should Be Entertainment
At Cars Stories, we believe online casino gaming should be enjoyed as entertainment only, not as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. Gambling always carries risk, and the house always has a mathematical advantage. Only gamble with money you can afford to lose, and never view it as an investment or income source.
Age Verification
Online gambling is strictly prohibited for anyone under the age of 18 in Australia. By accessing casino games through our site, you confirm that you are at least 18 years of age and meet all local legal requirements to participate in online gambling in your jurisdiction.
If you are under 18, please do not proceed. We take underage gambling seriously and encourage parents and guardians to monitor online activity.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
Problem gambling can develop gradually. Please review the following warning signs and seek help if you recognise any of these behaviours in yourself:
- Chasing losses by gambling more to recover money lost
- Gambling with increasing amounts of money to achieve the same level of excitement
- Hiding gambling activity or lying about how much time and money you spend gambling
- Neglecting family, friends, work, or study due to gambling
- Using gambling to escape problems, stress, or negative emotions
- Borrowing money or going into debt to fund gambling
- Unable to stop or reduce gambling despite wanting to
- Experiencing anxiety, irritability, or mood changes when not gambling
- Gambling affecting your sleep, health, or relationships
- Feeling a loss of control over gambling decisions
If you recognise any of these signs, please reach out for support immediately.
