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 considered as a way to make money or solve financial problems. Always gamble within your means and only with money you can afford to lose.
Age Verification
In Australia, you must be 18 years of age or older to participate in gambling activities. We are committed to preventing underage gambling. If you are under 18, please do not use our services. If you suspect someone underage is gambling, please report it to the relevant authorities.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
If you experience any of the following, you may have a gambling problem. Please seek help immediately:
- Chasing losses by gambling more to recover money you've lost
- Spending more time or money on gambling than intended
- Hiding your gambling activity from family, friends, or partners
- Neglecting work, school, or family responsibilities due to gambling
- Borrowing money to gamble or pay gambling debts
- Feeling anxious, irritable, or restless when not gambling
- Lying about the amount of time or money spent gambling
- Using gambling to escape problems, stress, or negative emotions
- Failed attempts to reduce or stop gambling
- Experiencing financial difficulties or debt as a result of gambling
Self-Help Tools
Most responsible gaming platforms offer tools to help you maintain control:
- Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit within a specified period (daily, weekly, or monthly)
- Loss Limits: Set a maximum amount you're willing to lose before you stop playing
- Reality Checks: Receive regular reminders about how long you've been playing and how much you've spent
- Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently exclude yourself from gambling platforms
- Time-Out: Take a break from gambling for a set period
We encourage you to use these tools and set strict limits before you begin playing.
