Responsible Gaming
Gaming Should Be Entertainment
At Dirigible, we believe that online gaming should be enjoyed as a form of entertainment only. Gambling is never a reliable way to earn money or solve financial problems. Please only wager money you can afford to lose, and always play within your means.
Age Verification & Legal Requirements
You must be at least 18 years of age or the legal gambling age in your jurisdiction to access and use our services. In Australia, the minimum legal age is 18 years. By using Dirigible, you confirm that you meet these legal requirements.
If you are under the legal gambling age, please do not proceed. Underage gambling is illegal and harmful.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
Problem gambling can develop gradually. If you experience any of the following warning signs, please seek help immediately:
- Chasing losses by gambling more to try to recover money you've lost
- Gambling with money intended for essential expenses (rent, bills, food)
- Hiding your gambling activities from family, friends, or partners
- Experiencing mood swings or irritability when you cannot gamble
- Needing to gamble with increasing amounts of money to achieve the same excitement
- Repeatedly trying to cut back or stop gambling without success
- Neglecting work, school, family, or other important responsibilities due to gambling
- Borrowing money or going into debt to fund gambling activities
- Lying about the time or money spent on gambling
- Feeling anxious, depressed, or desperate about your gambling
If you recognize any of these signs in yourself or someone else, professional help is available.
Self-Help Tools & Safeguards
Most responsible online casinos offer built-in tools to help you maintain control of your gambling. These may include:
- Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit within a specified timeframe (daily, weekly, or monthly)
- Loss Limits: Restrict the maximum amount you can lose within a set period
- Session Time Limits: Automatically log you out after a predetermined period of play
- Reality Checks: Regular reminders during your gaming session of how long you've been playing and how much you've wagered
- Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently exclude yourself from accessing your account
We strongly encourage you to use these tools proactively to maintain responsible gaming habits.
