Responsible Gaming
Introduction
At Captain Earwax, we're committed to promoting responsible gaming. Gaming should be enjoyed as entertainment only, never as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. We encourage all players to gamble within their means and to view any money spent as the cost of entertainment, not as an investment or income source.
Age Verification
Leon Casino is available only to individuals who are 18 years of age or older, or the legal age for gambling in your jurisdiction within Australia. By accessing Leon Casino through our website, you confirm that you meet these age requirements. We take age verification seriously and may request proof of age at any time.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
If you experience any of the following, you may be developing a gambling problem:
- Gambling with money you can't afford to lose
- Chasing losses by gambling more to try to recover money
- Spending more time and money on gambling than intended
- Feeling anxious or irritable when not gambling
- Hiding your gambling activities from family or friends
- Neglecting work, school, or family responsibilities due to gambling
- Borrowing money or using credit to fund gambling
- Lying about the amount of time or money spent gambling
- Feeling a need to gamble with increasing amounts to get the same excitement
- Failed attempts to reduce or stop gambling
Self-Help Tools
Leon Casino and most responsible operators offer tools to help you maintain control:
- Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you're willing to deposit within a specified timeframe
- Loss Limits: Set a maximum amount you're willing to lose in a given period
- Reality Checks: Receive regular reminders of how long you've been playing and how much you've spent
- Session Time Limits: Automatically log out after a set period of play
- Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently exclude yourself from gambling accounts
We encourage you to use these tools proactively to maintain healthy gaming habits.
