Responsible Gaming
Gaming Should Be Entertainment
Online pokies and casino games should be enjoyed as a form of entertainment only. They are games of chance and should never be viewed as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. The house always has a mathematical advantage, and losses should always be expected as part of the cost of entertainment.
Age Verification
You must be at least 18 years of age (or the legal gambling age in your jurisdiction) to participate in online gaming. By accessing this website and its services, you confirm that you meet the legal age requirement in Australia. We take age verification seriously and reserve the right to request proof of age at any time.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
Problem gambling can develop gradually. If you recognise any of the following signs in yourself or someone you know, it may be time to seek help:
- Spending more time or money on gambling than intended
- Chasing losses by gambling more to recover money lost
- Hiding gambling activities or lying about the amount spent
- Neglecting family, friends, work, or other responsibilities due to gambling
- Using gambling to escape problems, stress, anxiety, or depression
- Experiencing mood swings or irritability when unable to gamble
- Borrowing money or going into debt to fund gambling
- Unsuccessful attempts to cut back or stop gambling
- Experiencing relationship conflicts due to gambling habits
- Feeling a constant urge to gamble with increasing amounts of money
Self-Help Tools
We encourage responsible gaming practices. Many gaming platforms offer tools to help you maintain control:
- Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you're willing to deposit within a specific timeframe (daily, weekly, or monthly)
- Loss Limits: Set a maximum amount you're willing to lose before stopping play
- Reality Checks: Receive periodic reminders about how long you've been playing and how much you've spent
- Session Time Limits: Automatically end your gaming session after a set period
- Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently exclude yourself from accessing gaming platforms
Take advantage of these tools and use them consistently to maintain healthy gaming habits.
