Responsible Gaming

Gaming Should Be Entertainment

Online pokies and gaming should be enjoyed as a form of entertainment only, not as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. While gaming can be fun, it's important to understand the risks and play responsibly.

Remember: the house always has a mathematical advantage. Only gamble what you can afford to lose.

Age Verification

Gaming is strictly for persons aged 18 years and over in Australia. If you are under 18, please do not attempt to access gaming services. Gaming operators are required to verify your age and identity before allowing play.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

If you recognise any of these signs, it may be time to seek help:

Spending more money on gaming than you intended
Gambling to recover losses or chase losses
Hiding your gaming activity from family or friends
Neglecting work, school, or family responsibilities due to gaming
Feeling anxious or irritable when unable to gamble
Lying about the amount of time or money spent gaming
Borrowing money to fund gaming activities
Experiencing financial difficulties because of gaming
Unsuccessful attempts to cut down or stop gaming
Gaming as a way to escape problems or relieve stress

Self-Help Tools

Most responsible gaming operators provide tools to help you stay in control:

Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit within a specific timeframe (daily, weekly, or monthly)
Loss Limits: Set a maximum amount you're willing to lose over a set period
Reality Checks: Receive regular reminders of how long you've been playing and how much you've wagered
Session Limits: Set automatic time limits for your gaming sessions
Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently exclude yourself from gaming platforms
Cool-Off Period: Take a break from gaming for a set period without losing your account

These tools are there to help you maintain control and game responsibly. Take advantage of them.
