Responsible Gaming

Entertainment, Not Income

Gaming at online pokies should be enjoyed purely as entertainment. It is important to understand that gambling is never a reliable way to earn money or solve financial problems. The odds are always in favour of the house, and losses should be expected as part of the cost of entertainment.

Please gamble responsibly and only with money you can afford to lose.

Age Verification

By accessing this website and participating in any gaming activities, you confirm that you are:

• At least 18 years of age, or
• Above the legal gambling age in your jurisdiction

In Australia, the legal age for gambling is 18 years old. It is illegal for minors to gamble, and we take age verification seriously.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

If you recognise any of the following signs in your behaviour, you may be developing a gambling problem:

• Chasing losses: Trying to win back money you've lost by gambling more
• Hiding gambling: Concealing the extent of your gambling from family or friends
• Loss of control: Difficulty stopping or limiting your gambling sessions
• Neglecting responsibilities: Prioritising gambling over work, school, or family obligations
• Financial strain: Using money intended for bills, rent, or essential expenses to gamble
• Mood changes: Gambling to escape stress, anxiety, depression, or other negative emotions
• Relationship problems: Arguments with loved ones about gambling habits
• Withdrawal symptoms: Feeling anxious or irritable when unable to gamble
• Escalating stakes: Needing to gamble larger amounts to achieve the same excitement

Self-Help Tools & Responsible Gaming Features

Most reputable online gaming operators offer tools to help you stay in control:

• Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit within a specified timeframe (daily, weekly, or monthly)
• Loss Limits: Set a maximum amount you're willing to lose during a gaming session
• Reality Checks: Receive regular pop-up reminders showing your session duration and money spent
• Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently exclude yourself from accessing gaming services
• Session Timers: Set time limits for your gaming sessions

We encourage you to use these tools proactively to maintain responsible gaming habits.
