Responsible Gaming

Introduction

Online pokies and casino gaming should be enjoyed as entertainment only. It is important to remember that gambling is not a reliable way to earn money or solve financial problems. Games of chance are designed with a house edge, meaning the odds always favour the provider in the long term. Please gamble responsibly and only with money you can afford to lose.

Age Verification

You must be at least 18 years of age (or the legal gambling age in your jurisdiction) to participate in online gaming. We take age verification seriously and encourage parents and guardians to discuss responsible gambling with young people in their care.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

If you recognise any of the following signs, you may have a gambling problem. Please seek help:

Chasing losses by gambling more to recover money lost
Hiding gambling activity from family, friends, or partners
Spending more time and money on gambling than intended
Neglecting work, study, family, or personal relationships due to gambling
Borrowing money or going into debt to fund gambling
Experiencing anxiety, depression, or mood swings related to gambling
Feeling unable to stop or control gambling urges
Using gambling to escape problems or negative feelings
Lying about the extent of gambling activity
Failed attempts to reduce or quit gambling

Self-Help Tools

Many gaming providers offer tools to help you maintain control:

Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit within a specified timeframe (daily, weekly, or monthly)
Loss Limits: Set a limit on the amount of money you are willing to lose
Reality Checks: Receive regular notifications reminding you how long you have been playing and how much you have spent
Session Time Limits: Set a maximum duration for each gaming session
