Responsible Gaming
Our Commitment to Responsible Gaming
At Gourmet Night Market, we are committed to promoting responsible gaming practices. Live dealer casinos should be enjoyed as a form of entertainment only, not as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. We encourage all players to gamble within their means and to seek help if they feel their gaming is becoming problematic.
Age Verification
You must be 18 years of age or older (or the legal gambling age in your jurisdiction) to participate in any gaming activities on our site. We take age verification seriously and reserve the right to request proof of age at any time. If you are under the legal gambling age, please do not proceed.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
Problem gambling can affect anyone. If you recognise any of the following warning signs in yourself or someone else, please seek help immediately:
- Spending more time or money on gambling than intended
- Attempting to win back losses ("chasing losses")
- Hiding gambling activity or lying about the amount of time or money spent
- Neglecting family, work, or other responsibilities due to gambling
- Feeling anxious, depressed, or irritable when not gambling
- Using gambling to escape problems or negative emotions
- Borrowing money to gamble or pay gambling debts
- Failed attempts to reduce or stop gambling
- Needing to gamble with increasing amounts to achieve the same excitement
- Experiencing relationship or financial difficulties due to gambling
Self-Help Tools
Most reputable online casinos provide tools to help you maintain control of your gaming. These may include:
- Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you are willing to deposit in a specified timeframe
- Loss Limits: Set a maximum amount you are willing to lose in a specified period
- Reality Checks: Receive periodic reminders of how long you have been playing and how much you have spent
- Time-Out/Cool-Off Periods: Take a break from gaming for a set period
- Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently exclude yourself from accessing gaming platforms
We encourage you to use these tools to stay in control of your gaming experience.
