Responsible Gaming
Gaming Should Be Entertainment
Pokies and online gaming should only ever be viewed as a form of entertainment, not as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. Like any form of entertainment, it should be something you can afford to lose and should never negatively impact your life, finances, or relationships.
We encourage all players to gamble responsibly and within their means.
Age Verification
You must be at least 18 years of age to participate in gambling activities in Australia. If you are under the legal age, please do not engage in any gaming activities on this site.
We are committed to preventing underage gambling and take age verification seriously.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
If you recognise any of the following signs in yourself or someone you know, it may indicate a problem with gambling:
- Spending more money and time gambling than intended
- Chasing losses by gambling more to try to recover money lost
- Hiding gambling activity or lying to family and friends about the extent of your gambling
- Experiencing mood changes or irritability when unable to gamble
- Neglecting work, study, or personal relationships due to gambling
- Using gambling as a way to cope with stress, anxiety, or depression
- Borrowing money or going into debt to fund gambling
- Feeling unable to stop or control gambling urges
- Failed attempts to reduce or stop gambling
- Experiencing financial, legal, or relationship problems as a result of gambling
Self-Help Tools & Features
Most responsible gaming platforms offer tools to help you maintain control:
- Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit within a specific timeframe
- Loss Limits: Set a maximum amount you are willing to lose
- Reality Checks: Receive regular reminders about how long you've been playing and how much you've spent
- Time-Out Breaks: Take a temporary break from gambling for a period you choose
- Self-Exclusion: Exclude yourself from gambling sites for a set period or permanently
