Responsible Gaming

Gambling Should Be Entertainment, Not Income

At K-Cosmo, we're committed to promoting responsible gambling practices. Betting should only ever be viewed as a form of entertainment, similar to going to the cinema or playing sports. It should never be considered a way to earn money or solve financial problems. Only gamble with money you can afford to lose, and never chase losses or use gambling as an escape from personal difficulties.

Age Verification

All gambling services in Australia are restricted to individuals aged 18 years and over. If you are under 18, you are legally prohibited from participating in any form of gambling. We take age verification seriously and encourage parents and guardians to monitor young people's online activity.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

If you or someone you know displays any of the following warning signs, it may indicate a problem with gambling:

• Spending more time and money on gambling than intended
• Chasing losses by gambling more to try to recover money lost
• Hiding gambling activity or lying about the amount spent
• Neglecting family, friends, work, or study due to gambling
• Borrowing money or going into debt to gamble
• Feeling anxious, irritable, or depressed when not gambling
• Needing to gamble with increasing amounts to feel the same excitement
• Failed attempts to cut down or stop gambling
• Using gambling to escape problems or relieve stress
• Experiencing conflicts with family or friends about gambling
