Responsible Gaming

Gaming Should Be Entertainment

At The Little Music Room, we're committed to promoting responsible gaming practices. Live dealer casinos should be enjoyed as a form of entertainment only—never as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. Please gamble within your means and only 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 participate in online gambling. It is illegal for minors to gamble. If you are under the legal age, please do not access gambling services.

Parents and Guardians: Please monitor your children's online activity and use parental controls to prevent access to gambling websites.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

If you recognise any of the following signs in yourself or someone you know, it may indicate problem gambling:

• Chasing losses by gambling more to recover lost money
• Hiding gambling activity or lying about the amount of time or money spent
• Gambling with money needed for essential expenses (rent, bills, food)
• Feeling anxious, irritable, or depressed when unable to gamble
• Neglecting family, friends, work, or studies due to gambling
• Borrowing money or going into debt to finance gambling
• Increasing the amount wagered to experience the same level of excitement
• Failed attempts to cut down or stop gambling
• Using gambling to escape problems or negative emotions
• Experiencing financial difficulties as a result of gambling

Self-Help Tools & Control Features

Most reputable online casinos offer the following tools to help you maintain control:

• Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit within a specific time period (daily, weekly, or monthly)
• Loss Limits: Set a maximum amount you're willing to lose before stopping play
• Reality Checks: Receive pop-up reminders during gaming sessions about the time and money you've spent
• Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently exclude yourself from accessing gambling services
• Session Time Limits: Set automatic reminders or session cut-offs to prevent extended play
• Account Cooling-Off Period: Request a mandatory break from gambling before accessing your account again

We recommend using these tools proactively as part of your responsible gaming strategy.
