Responsible Gaming

Gaming Should Be Fun, Not a Financial Solution

We're committed to promoting responsible gaming practices. PayID pokies and online gambling should only ever be viewed as entertainment. Gambling is never a reliable way to earn money or solve financial problems. Always gamble within your means 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 Australian jurisdiction) to access and use any pokies or gambling services linked from this website. We take age verification seriously and support strict enforcement of age restrictions.

Gambling is not for minors. If you are under 18, please do not proceed.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

Problem gambling can develop gradually. If you recognise any of the following signs in your own behaviour, please seek help immediately:

• Spending more time or money on gambling than intended
• Chasing losses by gambling more to recover money lost
• Hiding gambling activity or lying about the amount you gamble
• Gambling to escape problems, stress, or negative emotions
• Borrowing money to gamble or gambling with money needed for essentials
• Neglecting family, work, school, or personal responsibilities
• Losing interest in hobbies and activities you once enjoyed
• Feeling anxious, irritable, or restless when unable to gamble
• Failed attempts to cut down or stop gambling
• Gambling with increasing amounts to achieve the same excitement

Self-Help Tools & Safeguards

Most reputable pokies and online gambling providers offer built-in tools to help you maintain control. These include:

• Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit within a specified timeframe (daily, weekly, or monthly)
• Loss Limits: Set a maximum amount you're willing to lose before you stop playing
• Reality Checks: Receive regular reminders about how long you've been playing and how much you've spent
• Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently exclude yourself from gambling accounts and venues
• Cooling-Off Periods: Take enforced breaks from gambling activities

We recommend using these tools proactively, even if you don't currently feel you have a problem.
