Responsible Gaming
Gaming Should Be Entertainment
PayID pokies and online gambling should only ever be viewed as a form of entertainment, not as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. Like any form of entertainment, it should only cost what you can afford to lose. If you find yourself gambling beyond your means or experiencing negative consequences, help is available.
Age Verification
In Australia, you must be at least 18 years of age to gamble legally. If you are under 18, please do not access gambling services on this website. We take age verification seriously and support responsible gaming practices across all age groups.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
If you experience any of the following, you may be developing a gambling problem:
- Chasing losses by gambling more to recover money you've lost
- Hiding your gambling activities or lying about how much you gamble
- Gambling with money needed for bills, rent, or essential expenses
- Feeling anxious, irritable, or restless when trying to cut down or stop gambling
- Gambling for longer periods or with larger amounts than intended
- Neglecting family, work, or other responsibilities due to gambling
- Using gambling to escape problems or difficult emotions
- Borrowing money to gamble or pay gambling debts
- Unable to stop or control gambling despite wanting to
Self-Help Tools
Many gambling platforms offer tools to help you maintain control:
- Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you're willing to deposit per day, week, or month
- Loss Limits: Set a maximum amount you're prepared to lose during a gaming session
- Time Limits: Set time reminders to take breaks and monitor your gaming duration
- Reality Checks: Receive periodic notifications about your session length and money spent
- Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently exclude yourself from accessing gambling services
If you're struggling to control your gambling, using these tools is a positive first step.
