Responsible Gaming
Gaming Should Be Entertainment
At jakeforryan.com, we believe that online gaming should be an enjoyable form of entertainment only. Gambling is never a reliable way to earn money or solve financial problems. Please gamble only with money you can afford to lose, and always set strict limits on your spending.
We are committed to promoting responsible gaming practices and supporting the wellbeing of our players across Australia.
Age Verification
You must be at least 18 years of age or the legal gambling age in your Australian jurisdiction to use our site and play at neosurf casinos. jakeforryan.com takes age verification seriously and reserves the right to request proof of identity at any time.
If you are under the legal age, please do not attempt to gamble. If you are aware of a minor gambling, please contact the appropriate authorities.

- Loss Limits: Set a limit on the maximum amount you are willing to lose
- Session Time Limits: Set automatic time reminders or session limits to prevent extended gaming sessions
- Reality Checks: Enable pop-up reminders during play to keep you aware of time and money spent
