Responsible Gambling

Cedar Platehouse presents casino-style entertainment as an adults-only leisure activity that may be part of a broader night out with dinner, drinks and time in the lounge. Gambling should be treated as paid entertainment, not as income, an investment, or a way to recover previous losses.

Adults 18+ only

Gaming areas are intended for guests aged 18 and over. Staff may request valid photo identification at any time, and access may be refused if age cannot be verified. Guests under 18 may attend suitable dining areas only where permitted by venue rules and must not enter or participate in gaming areas.

Set limits before play begins

Before using any gaming area, decide how much time and money you can comfortably spend. Keep funds for transport, meals, bills and essentials separate. If you reach your limit, stop playing and take a break from the gaming floor.

Keep gambling social and occasional

Healthy play is planned, affordable and easy to pause. Avoid gambling when upset, tired, affected by alcohol, under financial pressure, or trying to win back losses. If the experience stops feeling enjoyable, step away and speak with someone you trust.

Practical signs to watch for

Consider seeking support if gambling is causing secrecy, debt, missed obligations, arguments, stress, chasing losses, borrowing money to play, or difficulty stopping after you intended to leave. These signs can affect anyone and are easier to address early.

Support pathways

In Australia, confidential support is available through Gambling Help Online at gamblinghelponline.org.au. If someone is in immediate danger or needs urgent help, call 000. For venue-related questions, contact Christian Bennett at [email protected].

Venue expectations

Guests are expected to follow venue rules, respect staff instructions, and use gaming areas lawfully and responsibly. Cedar Platehouse may refuse service or access where behaviour raises safety, age-verification, intoxication or responsible gambling concerns.
