Responsible Gaming
Gaming Should Be Entertainment
At Fair Go Casino Australia, we believe that online gaming should be enjoyed as entertainment only, never as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. Gambling always carries risk, and the odds are always in favour of the house. Only gamble with money you can afford to lose.
Age Verification
You must be at least 18 years of age (or the legal gambling age in your state or territory) to gamble at Fair Go Casino Australia. We take age verification seriously and reserve the right to request proof of identity and age at any time. Underage gambling is illegal and harmful.
Parents and guardians: If you're concerned about a young person's gaming habits, please speak to them about the risks and seek support from local authorities or counselling services.
