Responsible Gaming
Gaming Should Be Entertainment
Online pokies and casino 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 and exciting, it's important to approach it responsibly and within your means.
Remember: the house always has an edge. Only gamble with money you can afford to lose.
Age Verification
You must be 18 years of age or older to gamble in Australia. Gaming is not suitable for minors, and we are committed to preventing underage gambling.
All players are required to verify their age before accessing gaming services. If you are under 18, please do not proceed.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
If you experience any of the following, you may be developing a gambling problem:
- Chasing losses by gambling with more money to recover what you've lost
- Gambling for longer periods than intended
- Hiding your gambling activities or lying about the time and money spent
- Neglecting work, family, or social commitments due to gaming
- Using gaming to escape problems, stress, or negative emotions
- Borrowing money or spending savings to fund gambling
- Feeling anxious, irritable, or restless when not gambling
- Failed attempts to reduce or stop gambling
- Relationships affected by your gaming habits
- Financial difficulties caused by gambling
If you recognise any of these signs in yourself or someone else, please seek help immediately.
Self-Help Tools & Player Protections
Most responsible gaming operators provide tools to help you stay in control:
- Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you're willing to spend per day, week, or month
- Loss Limits: Set a cap on total losses you're prepared to accept
- Spend Limits: Restrict the total amount you can wager
- Reality Checks: Receive regular reminders of how long you've been playing and money spent
- Session Time Limits: Set automatic logout times to prevent extended play
- Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently exclude yourself from gambling platforms
We strongly encourage you to use these tools to maintain control of your gaming.
