Responsible Gaming
Gaming Should Be Entertainment
Online pokies and casino games are designed for entertainment purposes only. They should never be viewed as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. While gaming can be enjoyable and exciting, it's important to approach it with a responsible mindset and understand that the house always has a mathematical advantage.
Please gamble only with money you can afford to lose, and always set limits before you start playing.
Age Verification
You must be at least 18 years of age (or the legal gambling age in your jurisdiction) to access and use our services. We are committed to preventing underage gambling and take this responsibility seriously. If you are under the legal age, please do not proceed.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
Problem gambling can develop gradually. Please be aware of these warning signs and check yourself honestly:
- Chasing Losses: Attempting to recover lost money by gambling more
- Hiding Gambling Activity: Keeping your gambling secret from family or friends
- Loss of Control: Being unable to stop or limit your gambling sessions
- Neglecting Responsibilities: Prioritising gaming over work, study, or family obligations
- Financial Problems: Borrowing money, using credit, or depleting savings to gamble
- Mood Changes: Gambling to escape stress, anxiety, or negative emotions
- Increasing Bets: Needing to bet larger amounts to achieve the same level of excitement
- Failed Attempts to Quit: Repeatedly trying and failing to reduce or stop gambling
- Relationship Strain: Gaming causing conflict with loved ones
- Physical Symptoms: Sleep problems, irritability, or anxiety when not gambling
If you recognise any of these signs in yourself or someone else, professional help is available.
Self-Help Tools & Controls
Most reputable gaming platforms offer built-in tools to help you maintain control:
- Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you're willing to deposit within a specific time period (daily, weekly, or monthly)
- Loss Limits: Restrict the amount of money you're prepared to lose during a gaming session
- Session Time Limits: Set automatic time reminders or session cut-offs to prevent extended play
- Reality Checks: Enable pop-up notifications at regular intervals reminding you how long you've been playing and how much you've wagered
- Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently close your gaming account if you need to step away
- Account Pause: Take a break from gaming for a set period without permanently closing your account
We encourage you to use these tools proactively as part of your responsible gaming strategy.
