Responsible Gaming
Gaming Should Be Entertainment
At Big Joke Book, we believe that cryptocurrency casino gaming should be enjoyed as entertainment only. Gambling should never be viewed as a way to make money, earn an income, or solve financial problems. It is important to only gamble with money you can afford to lose and to set strict limits on your spending.
Please gamble responsibly and within your means.
Age Verification
You must be at least 18 years of age (or the legal gambling age in your jurisdiction) to access and use our platform. 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 use our services.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
If you recognise any of the following signs in yourself or someone you know, it may indicate a gambling problem:
- Chasing losses by gambling more to recover money lost
- Hiding gambling activity or lying about the amount spent
- Gambling with money needed for essential expenses (bills, rent, food)
- Spending more time and money on gambling than intended
- Feeling anxious or irritable when unable to gamble
- Neglecting family, friends, work, or education due to gambling
- Borrowing money to fund gambling activities
- Experiencing mood swings or depression related to gambling outcomes
- Failed attempts to reduce or stop gambling
- Using gambling as an escape from problems or negative emotions
