Responsible Gaming

Gambling Should Be Entertainment

At VIP Model Tours, we believe that online pokies and casino gaming should only ever be viewed as a form of entertainment, not as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. Like any form of entertainment, it should be enjoyed responsibly and within your means.

If you find yourself gambling more than intended or experiencing negative consequences, please reach out for support immediately.

Age Verification

All users must be at least 18 years of age (or the legal age in your jurisdiction) to access and use our services. 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. Gambling is not for minors.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

Please review the following checklist. If you identify with any of these warning signs, problem gambling may be affecting your life:

• Chasing losses by gambling more money to recover what you've lost
• Hiding gambling activity or lying to family and friends about how much you gamble
• Gambling with money needed for essential expenses (rent, bills, food, medications)
• Experiencing mood changes or irritability when not gambling
• Gambling for longer periods than you intended
• Failed attempts to cut back or stop gambling
• Neglecting work, school, or family responsibilities due to gambling
• Borrowing money or going into debt to fund gambling
• Feeling anxious or stressed without access to gambling
• Using gambling to escape problems or negative emotions

If any of these resonate with you, support is available and seeking help is a sign of strength.

Self-Help Tools & Responsible Gaming Features

We recommend using the following tools to 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: Set a maximum amount you're comfortable losing before taking a break.
• Reality Checks: Enable notifications that remind you how long you've been playing and how much you've spent.
• Session Time Limits: Decide in advance how long you'll play and stick to it.
• Self-Exclusion: Take a complete break from gambling by self-excluding from our platform for a period of your choosing (temporary or permanent).
• Budget Planning: Treat gambling expenses as entertainment costs, like cinema tickets, and only spend money you can afford to lose.

These tools empower you to gamble responsibly. If you need assistance setting or managing these limits, contact our customer support team.
