Responsible Gaming
Gaming Should Be Entertainment
At Sydney On Road Model Car Club, we believe that gaming should be enjoyed purely as entertainment. Online casino games are games of chance and should never be viewed as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. Always gamble 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 access and use online casino services. By using this site, you confirm that you meet the legal age requirement in your jurisdiction within Australia.
If you are under 18, please do not proceed. Parents and guardians are encouraged to use parental controls and speak with young people about the risks of gambling.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
Please be aware of the following warning signs that may indicate problem gambling:
- Chasing Losses: Trying to win back money you've lost by gambling more
- Hiding Gambling: Concealing the time or money spent gambling from family and friends
- Loss of Control: Being unable to stop or limit your gambling
- Neglecting Responsibilities: Missing work, school, or family obligations due to gambling

If you recognise any of these signs in yourself or someone else, please seek help immediately.
