Responsible Gaming

Gaming Should Be Entertainment

Online pokies and casino games should be enjoyed as a form of entertainment only. They are not a way to earn money or solve financial problems. The outcome of every game is determined by chance, and the house always has a mathematical advantage. Please gamble only with money you can afford to lose.

Age Verification

You must be 18 years of age or older to participate in online gambling in Australia. We are committed to responsible gaming and do not permit access to anyone under the legal age. If you are under 18, please do not proceed.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

If you experience any of the following warning signs, it may indicate problem gambling:

• Chasing losses by gambling more to try to win back money you've lost
• Hiding or lying about the amount of time or money spent gambling
• Gambling with money needed for essential expenses (rent, bills, food)
• Experiencing mood swings or irritability when unable to gamble
• Neglecting family, friends, work, or education due to gambling
• Unable to control the urge to gamble or stop once you've started
• Borrowing money or going into debt to fund gambling
• Feeling anxious or stressed when not gambling
• Using gambling to escape problems or cope with negative emotions
• Failed attempts to reduce or stop gambling

If you recognise any of these signs in yourself or someone you know, please seek help immediately.

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 timeframe (daily, weekly, or monthly)
• Loss Limits: Establish a maximum amount you are willing to lose during a gaming session
• Reality Checks: Receive regular reminders about how long you've been playing and how much you've spent
• Self-Exclusion: Voluntarily exclude yourself from gambling for a period of time (days, weeks, months, or years)
• Session Time Limits: Set automatic timeouts to remind you to take breaks
• Cooling-Off Periods: Take a break from gambling to reassess your habits

Use these tools proactively to maintain healthy gambling habits.
