Responsible Gaming
At Stonevegas, we are committed to providing a safe and enjoyable environment for all our players. We believe that gaming should always be a form of entertainment, managed in a responsible way. This page outlines the tools and resources available to help you stay in control of your play and ensure a positive experience. Our framework is designed to support responsible gaming practices and provide assistance when needed.
Our Commitment to Player Well-being
Our core philosophy is that online gaming should be fun and entertaining. The Stone Vegas online AU casino is strictly for individuals aged 18 and over, and we take our responsibility to prevent underage access very seriously. We actively promote a culture of responsible gaming, encouraging players to view their activity as a leisure expense and not as a source of income. We aim to offer a secure platform where entertainment is the priority.
Tools for Safe Play
To help manage gaming activity effectively, Stonevegas provides a suite of responsible gaming tools. These features are easily accessible within the account settings and can be configured at any time. We encourage all players to familiarise themselves with these options to maintain control over their spending and playtime. The main tools available include:
- Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount that can be deposited over a daily, weekly, or monthly period.
- Loss Limits: Control potential losses by setting a cap on the net amount lost over a chosen timeframe.
- Session Limits: Manage the amount of time spent playing by setting a limit on how long a gaming session can last.
- Cooling-Off Period: Take a short break from gaming, with options ranging from 24 hours to several weeks. During this time, access to the account will be restricted.
- Self-Exclusion: For a longer break, the self-exclusion option allows for the account to be closed for a period of six months or more.
- Account Closure: Permanently close an account by contacting the support team.
- Reality Checks: Receive periodic on-screen notifications that display the duration of the session, helping to keep track of time.
You can find more details about our operational standards in the Stonevegas about us section.
Identifying Potential Issues
Responsible gaming involves being aware of personal habits. It’s important to reflect on whether gaming is no longer just fun. Some signs to consider include spending more money or time than intended, chasing losses, or if gaming starts to negatively impact personal relationships or work. Recognising these patterns early is a key step in maintaining a healthy balance.
