Responsible Gaming
Our Commitment to Safe Gaming
At Facing the Fear, we are committed to promoting responsible gaming practices. While we provide information about Rocket Play Casino and other gaming platforms, we want to emphasize that gambling should be viewed as entertainment only—never as a way to earn money or solve financial problems.
Age Verification & Legal Requirements
In Australia, you must be at least 18 years of age to participate in online gambling activities. By accessing gaming platforms, you confirm that you meet this legal requirement in your jurisdiction. If you are under the legal gambling age, please do not proceed.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
If you recognize any of these warning signs in yourself or someone you know, it may indicate problem gambling:
- Chasing losses by gambling more to recover money lost
- Hiding gambling activities or lying about the amount spent
- Gambling with money needed for essential expenses (rent, bills, food)
- Gambling longer than intended or losing track of time
- Neglecting work, school, family, or social responsibilities due to gambling
- Experiencing mood swings or irritability when unable to gamble
- Borrowing money or using credit to fund gambling
- Feeling anxious or depressed about gambling behavior
- Failed attempts to reduce or control gambling
- Gambling as an escape from problems or stress
Self-Help Tools & Limit Settings
Responsible gaming platforms offer several tools to help you maintain control:
- Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit within a specified timeframe (daily, weekly, or monthly)
- Loss Limits: Restrict the total amount you're willing to lose during a gaming session
- Reality Checks: Receive periodic notifications reminding you how long you've been gaming and how much you've spent
- Session Time Limits: Set automatic logout times to prevent extended gaming sessions
- Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently exclude yourself from gaming accounts if you need a break
Always use these tools proactively and honestly assess your gaming behavior.
