Responsible Gaming

Gaming Should Be Entertainment

At Ellis Cage, we believe that live dealer casino gaming should be enjoyed as a form of entertainment only. Gambling is never a reliable way to earn money or solve financial problems. We encourage all players to gamble responsibly and within their means.

Please remember: the house always has a mathematical advantage. Only gamble with money you can afford to lose, and never chase losses.

Age Verification

By using Ellis Cage and any affiliated live dealer casinos, you confirm that you are:

• At least 18 years of age, or the legal minimum age for gambling in your jurisdiction
• Not prohibited by law from gambling in your region
• Accessing this site from within Australia or a jurisdiction where online gambling is permitted

We take age verification seriously and reserve the right to request proof of identity at any time.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

If you recognise any of the following behaviours in yourself or someone else, it may indicate a gambling problem:

• Spending more time or money on gambling than intended
• Constantly thinking about gambling or past gambling sessions
• Needing to gamble with increasing amounts to feel the same excitement
• Trying to cut back or quit but being unable to do so
• Gambling to escape problems, stress, or negative emotions
• Lying to friends, family, or others about the extent of your gambling
• Chasing losses by gambling more to recover lost money
• Borrowing money or going into debt to gamble
• Neglecting work, study, relationships, or hobbies due to gambling
• Experiencing financial difficulties or relationship problems caused by gambling

If you recognise these signs, please reach out for support immediately.

Self-Help Tools & Responsible Gaming Features

Most reputable live dealer casinos offer tools to help you maintain control:

• Deposit Limits: Set a daily, weekly, or monthly limit on the amount you can deposit
• Loss Limits: Set a maximum amount you're willing to lose over a set period
• Time Limits: Set reminders or automatic session timeouts to limit playing duration
• Reality Checks: Receive periodic notifications about how long you've been playing and how much you've wagered
• Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently exclude yourself from accessing gambling platforms
• Account Closure: Close your account if you wish to stop gambling entirely

We recommend discussing these tools with your chosen casino operator and using them proactively.
