Responsible Gaming
Gambling Should Be Entertainment
At Blokes Bake Club, we're committed to promoting responsible gaming. Gambling should only ever be viewed as a form of entertainment, not as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. Only gamble with money you can afford to lose, and never chase your losses.
Age Verification
Surge Casino and all online gambling services in Australia are strictly for individuals aged 18 years and over. If you are under the legal age to gamble in your state or territory, please do not access gambling services. We take age verification seriously and reserve the right to request proof of identity.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
If you recognise any of the following warning signs in yourself or someone you know, it may be time to seek help:
- Gambling more than you intended or for longer than planned
- Chasing losses by gambling more to try to recover money
- Hiding gambling activities or lying about how much you gamble
- Borrowing money to gamble or gambling with money needed for essentials
- Feeling anxious or irritable when unable to gamble
- Neglecting work, study, family, or social responsibilities due to gambling
- Using gambling to escape problems or relieve stress
- Friends or family expressing concern about your gambling
- Experiencing financial difficulties as a result of gambling
Self-Help Tools & Controls
Most reputable online casinos, including Surge Casino, offer tools to help you maintain control:
- Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you're willing to deposit within a specific timeframe
- Loss Limits: Restrict the amount of money you're willing to lose in a session
- Time Limits: Set automatic session time-outs to limit your playing time
- Reality Checks: Receive regular reminders about how long you've been playing and how much you've wagered
- Self-Exclusion: Take a break from gambling by temporarily or permanently closing your account
We encourage you to use these tools proactively to maintain a healthy relationship with gambling.
