Responsible Gaming

At SoCal Brews Cruise, we are committed to promoting responsible gaming practices. Our mission is to provide entertainment while ensuring the safety and wellbeing of our players. This page outlines essential information about responsible gaming, available support tools, and resources to help you enjoy gaming responsibly.

What is Responsible Gaming?

Responsible gaming refers to a set of practices and policies designed to protect players from the potential harms of gambling. It involves understanding the risks, setting limits, and recognizing when gaming may be becoming problematic. Responsible gaming ensures that casino entertainment remains fun and within your control.

We encourage all players to:

• Set personal spending limits before you start playing
• Never gamble with money you cannot afford to lose
• View gambling as entertainment, not as a way to earn money
• Take regular breaks during gaming sessions
• Avoid gambling when stressed, upset, or under the influence
• Keep track of time and money spent

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

It is important to recognise the warning signs of problem gambling. If you or someone you know exhibits any of these behaviours, please seek help immediately:

• Spending more time or money on gambling than intended
• Gambling to escape problems or negative emotions
• Lying to friends or family about gambling activities
• Experiencing financial difficulties due to gambling
• Neglecting work, school, or family responsibilities
• Feeling anxious or irritable when unable to gamble
• Attempting to hide gambling losses
• Chasing losses by gambling more
• Borrowing money to fund gambling

Self-Exclusion and Deposit Limits

Self-Exclusion Tools

If you feel your gambling is becoming unmanageable, self-exclusion allows you to voluntarily restrict access to your account for a specified period. Self-exclusion is a powerful tool that prevents you from logging in or accessing gaming services, helping you take control of your habits.

Deposit Limits

Setting deposit limits allows you to cap the amount of money you can deposit within a given timeframe—daily, weekly, or monthly. These limits are enforced automatically and cannot be exceeded, providing a safety mechanism to prevent overspending.

To activate self-exclusion or adjust deposit limits, contact our customer support team or access these settings through your account dashboard.

Age Verification and 18+ Policy

SoCal Brews Cruise is strictly for players aged 18 years and over. We implement rigorous age verification processes to ensure compliance with this policy. All players must provide valid identification before creating an account and depositing funds. We take this responsibility seriously and will suspend or terminate accounts that violate age requirements.
