Responsible Gaming
Introduction
At 12 Bar Belgrave, we believe that gambling should be enjoyed as entertainment only, not as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. While we offer exciting casino experiences, it's important to understand that the house always has an edge. Please gamble responsibly and only with money you can afford to lose.
Age Verification
You must be at least 18 years of age or the legal gambling age in your jurisdiction to use our services. Gambling is not permitted for minors. We are committed to preventing underage gambling and strictly enforce age verification on all accounts.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
If you recognize any of the following signs in yourself or someone you know, please seek help immediately:
- Gambling with money needed for essential expenses (rent, food, bills)
- Chasing losses by gambling more to recover money lost
- Lying to family, friends, or partners about the extent of your gambling
- Gambling for longer periods than intended
- Feeling restless or irritable when trying to reduce gambling
- Neglecting work, school, or personal responsibilities due to gambling
- Borrowing money to gamble or pay gambling debts
- Experiencing relationship problems due to gambling
- Using gambling to escape from stress, anxiety, or depression
- Failed attempts to control or stop gambling
Self-Help Tools
We provide several tools to help you maintain control of your gambling:
- Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit within a specific timeframe (daily, weekly, or monthly)
- Loss Limits: Establish a maximum amount you're willing to lose during a session
- Reality Checks: Receive pop-up reminders during your gaming sessions to check how long you've been playing
- Self-Exclusion: Take a break from gambling by temporarily or permanently excluding yourself from your account
- Session Time Limits: Set a maximum duration for your gaming sessions
You can access these tools through your account settings at any time. We encourage you to use them proactively.
