Responsible Gaming

Gaming Should Be Entertainment

Bitcoin pokies and online gaming should be enjoyed as a form of entertainment only, not as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. While gaming can be fun and exciting, it's important to approach it responsibly and understand the risks involved.

Remember: The house always has a mathematical advantage. Only gamble with money you can afford to lose, and never view gaming as an investment or income source.

Age Verification

In Australia, you must be at least 18 years of age to participate in gambling activities, including online pokies and casino games. We are committed to preventing underage gambling and verifying the age of all users.

By accessing this website and participating in any gaming activities, you confirm that you are 18 years of age or older and comply with all applicable laws in your jurisdiction.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

Problem gambling can develop gradually. If you recognise any of the following signs in yourself or someone you know, please seek help immediately:

• Gambling more than you intended to or for longer than planned
• Chasing losses by gambling more to recover money lost
• Lying to family, friends, or professionals about your gambling activities
• Hiding gambling or secret betting accounts
• Gambling with money needed for essentials like rent, bills, or groceries
• Feeling anxious, irritable, or restless when not gambling
• Neglecting work, school, family, or personal relationships due to gambling
• Using gambling to escape problems or negative emotions
• Borrowing money to gamble or to pay off gambling debts
• Unsuccessful attempts to cut back or stop gambling
• Experiencing mood swings related to wins and losses

If you identify with any of these signs, please reach out for professional support.

Self-Help Tools & Features

We provide several tools to help you maintain control over your gaming:

• Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount of money you're willing to deposit within a specific timeframe (daily, weekly, or monthly). Stick to these limits.
• Loss Limits: Establish a maximum amount you're willing to lose. Once reached, stop playing and take a break.
• Reality Checks: Enable notifications that remind you of how long you've been playing and how much you've spent.
• Time Limits: Set session time limits to prevent extended gaming periods.
• Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently exclude yourself from accessing gaming sites. This is a powerful tool for regaining control.
• Account Pause: Take a break from gaming for a specified period without permanently closing your account.

These tools are designed to help you play responsibly. Use them proactively to protect your wellbeing and finances.
