Responsible Gaming
Gambling Should Be Entertainment, Not Income
At khilafat.org, we're committed to promoting responsible gambling practices across Australia. Online gambling should be enjoyed as a form of entertainment only—never as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. Always gamble within your means and only with money you can afford to lose.
Age Verification
You must be 18 years of age or older to gamble online in Australia. This is a legal requirement. If you're under 18, please do not access gambling services.
We take age verification seriously and require all players to confirm their identity and age before participating in any gambling activities.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
If you recognise any of the following signs in yourself or someone you know, it may indicate a problem with gambling:
- Chasing losses by gambling more to recover money lost
- Spending more time and money on gambling than intended
- Hiding gambling activity from family or friends
- Gambling to escape stress, anxiety, or negative emotions
- Borrowing money to gamble or pay gambling debts
- Neglecting work, study, or personal relationships due to gambling
- Experiencing anxiety or irritability when unable to gamble
- Unsuccessful attempts to cut back or stop gambling
- Feeling a need to gamble with increasing amounts for excitement
- Lying about the extent of your gambling involvement
If any of these apply to you, please reach out for support immediately.

Most reputable online casinos offer tools to help you maintain control over your gambling:
- Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you're willing to deposit within a specific timeframe (daily, weekly, or monthly)
- Loss Limits: Restrict the maximum amount you're prepared to lose during a session
- Reality Checks: Receive regular reminders of how long you've been gambling and how much you've spent
