Gambling Should Be Entertainment, Not Income

At ceciliabrandolini.com, we believe that gambling should only ever be viewed as a form of entertainment, similar to going to the cinema or watching live sport. It should never be considered as a way to earn money or solve financial problems.

Leon Casino games are designed with a built-in house edge, which means that over time, the odds favour the casino. Always gamble only with money you can afford to lose, and never chase losses or bet more than you intended.

Age Verification

In Australia, you must be at least 18 years of age to gamble legally. If you are under 18, or under the legal gambling age in your jurisdiction, you must not use Leon Casino or any gambling services.

We are committed to preventing underage gambling. By using this website, you confirm that you are 18 years of age or older.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

If you recognise any of these warning signs in yourself or someone you know, problem gambling may be developing:

• Spending more time or money on gambling than intended
• Chasing losses by gambling more to win back money you've lost
• Hiding your gambling activities or lying about how much you gamble
• Neglecting work, study, family, or social responsibilities due to gambling
• Experiencing anxiety, irritability, or mood changes related to gambling
• Borrowing money or using credit to fund gambling
• Feeling a need to gamble with increasing amounts of money for excitement
• Failed attempts to cut down or stop gambling
• Gambling to escape problems, stress, anxiety, or depression
• Using gambling as a way to cope with difficult emotions
