Responsible Gaming
Play Responsibly
Online gaming and pokies should be enjoyed as a form of entertainment only. Gaming is not a way to earn money or solve financial problems. It should never interfere with your work, relationships, health, or wellbeing. Please gamble within your means and only spend what you can afford to lose.
Age Verification
By accessing this website, you confirm that you are at least 18 years of age or the legal age for gambling in your jurisdiction, whichever is higher. It is illegal for persons under 18 to gamble in Australia. If you are underage, please do not proceed.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
If you recognise any of these warning signs in yourself or someone you know, help is available:
- Chasing losses by gambling more to recover money you've lost
- Thinking about gambling constantly or planning the next gaming session
- Hiding your gambling activity or lying about how much you gamble
- Gambling with money needed for essentials (rent, bills, food)
- Gambling to escape problems, stress, anxiety, or depression
- Borrowing money to gamble or being in debt because of gambling
- Relationships suffering due to your gambling habits
- Losing interest in other hobbies and activities
- Feeling restless or irritable when you try to reduce gaming
- Needing to gamble with larger amounts to get the same excitement
Self-Help Tools & Limits
Most responsible operators provide tools to help you maintain control over your gaming. These may include:
- Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit in a specific timeframe (daily, weekly, or monthly)
- Loss Limits: Set a maximum amount you're willing to lose in a given period
- Session Limits: Set a maximum amount of time you can spend gaming per session
- Reality Checks: Receive regular reminders about how long and how much you've been gaming
- Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently close your account to prevent access to gaming sites
We encourage you to use these tools proactively to ensure your gaming remains enjoyable and within your control.
