Responsible Gaming
Gambling Should Be Entertainment
At Widgie Tavern, we believe that online gaming should be enjoyed as a form of entertainment only, not as a way to make money or solve financial problems. While playing at Rocket Casino can be fun and exciting, it's important to understand that the house always has an edge, and you should never gamble with money you cannot afford to lose.
Please gamble responsibly and within your means. If you feel your gaming is becoming problematic, support is available.
Age Verification
Online gambling in Australia is only available to persons aged 18 years and over. By accessing Rocket Casino through Widgie Tavern, you confirm that you are at least 18 years old and meet all legal requirements to gamble in your jurisdiction.
If you are under the legal gambling age, please do not access our gaming services.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
Problem gambling can develop gradually. Be aware of these warning signs:
- Chasing losses by gambling more to recover money you've lost
- Gambling with money intended for bills, rent, or essential expenses
- Hiding your gambling activity from family, friends, or partners
- Feeling unable to stop gambling or control the amount you spend
- Gambling for longer periods than intended
- Neglecting work, school, or personal relationships due to gambling
- Borrowing money to gamble or pay off gambling debts
- Experiencing mood changes, irritability, or anxiety related to gambling
- Using gambling to escape stress, anxiety, or depression
- Needing to gamble with increasing amounts to achieve the same excitement
If you recognise any of these signs in yourself or someone you know, please seek help immediately.
