Responsible Gaming
Entertainment, Not Income
Online pokies and casino games should be enjoyed as a form of entertainment only. Gambling is never a reliable way to earn money or solve financial problems. It's important to approach gaming with realistic expectations and a clear understanding that the house always has an edge. Set a budget you can afford to lose and stick to it.
Age Verification
By accessing this website and participating in any gaming activities, you confirm that you are at least 18 years of age or the legal gambling age in your jurisdiction in Australia, whichever is higher. It is illegal for persons under the legal age to gamble. We take age verification seriously and reserve the right to request proof of age at any time.
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:
- Chasing losses by gambling more to win back money you've lost
- Gambling with money intended for essential expenses (rent, bills, food)
- Hiding gambling activities or lying about the amount of time and money spent
- Neglecting family, work, or other important responsibilities due to gambling
- Feeling anxious, irritable, or restless when trying to reduce or stop gambling
- Needing to gamble with increasing amounts of money to achieve the same excitement
- Borrowing money to fund gambling activities
- Relationship problems caused by gambling habits
- Failed attempts to cut back or stop gambling
- Using gambling to escape problems or negative emotions
Self-Help Tools and Controls
Most reputable online gaming platforms offer tools to help you gamble responsibly:
- 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: Enable pop-up reminders during gameplay showing how long you've been playing and how much you've spent
- Session Limits: Set a time limit for how long you can play in one session
- Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently exclude yourself from accessing gaming platforms
- Account Restrictions: Limit access to certain games or features
We encourage you to use these tools as part of a responsible gaming approach.
