Responsible Gaming
Gambling Should Be Entertainment
Online pokies should be enjoyed as a form of entertainment, not as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. While playing can be fun and exciting, it's important to remember that the odds always favour the house. Play 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 state or territory) to play online pokies in Australia. It is illegal for anyone under this age to gamble.
If you are under 18, please do not use this website. Parents and guardians are encouraged to monitor their children's online activities.
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 try to win back money you've lost
- Gambling with increasing amounts of money to achieve the same level of excitement
- Hiding gambling activities from family, friends, or healthcare providers
- Failed attempts to cut back or control gambling
- Gambling as a way to escape problems or relieve stress, anxiety, or depression
- Neglecting work, study, or personal relationships due to gambling
- Borrowing money or going into debt to fund gambling
- Experiencing mood swings, irritability, or anxiety when not gambling
- Lying about the amount of time or money spent on gambling
Self-Help Tools & Player Protection
Most licensed online casinos offer built-in tools to help you maintain control of your gambling:
- Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit over a specific period (daily, weekly, or monthly)
- Loss Limits: Set a maximum amount you are willing to lose in a given timeframe
- Betting Limits: Control the maximum stake per bet
- Reality Checks: Enable reminders at regular intervals about how long you've been playing and how much you've spent
- Session Timeouts: Automatically log out after a set period of inactivity
- Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently exclude yourself from gambling for a period you choose
We encourage you to use these tools to manage your gambling responsibly.
