Responsible Gaming
Our Commitment to Responsible Gaming
At Bloom Music Festival, we are committed to promoting responsible gaming practices. Gambling should be enjoyed as entertainment only, never as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. Please gamble responsibly and within your means.
Age Verification
Online gambling in Australia is only available to individuals aged 18 years and over. By accessing any gambling services through our site, you confirm that you are at least 18 years of age and meet all legal requirements in your jurisdiction.
If you are under 18, please do not participate in any gambling activities.

- Lying to family, friends, or others about your gambling habits
- Feeling anxious, irritable, or restless when trying to reduce or stop gambling
- Neglecting work, school, family, or other responsibilities due to gambling

Self-Help Tools & Limits
Most online casinos offer built-in tools to help you manage your gambling responsibly:
- Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit within a specific time period
- Loss Limits: Restrict the amount of money you can lose in a given timeframe
- Reality Checks: Receive reminders about how long you've been playing and how much you've spent
- Session Time Limits: Automatically log you out after a set amount of time
- Self-Exclusion: Voluntarily exclude yourself from gambling for a period of time (days, weeks, months, or years)
We encourage you to use these tools to maintain control over your gambling activities.
