Responsible Gaming

Gaming Should Be Entertainment, Not Income

Online poker should be enjoyed as entertainment only. It is not a reliable way to earn money or solve financial problems. Please gamble only with money you can afford to lose and always play within your means.

Age Verification

In Australia, you must be at least 18 years old to participate in online gambling activities. Gambling is only legal for adults. If you are under 18, please do not use our affiliated poker sites. We take age verification seriously and all operators must comply with Australian gambling laws.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

If you recognise any of the following signs in yourself or someone you know, seek help immediately:

• Chasing losses by gambling more to recover money lost
• Hiding gambling activities or lying about the amount spent
• Neglecting family, work, or personal responsibilities due to gambling
• Gambling with money needed for essentials (food, rent, bills)
• Feeling anxious, irritable, or restless when trying to reduce gambling
• Needing to gamble with increasing amounts to achieve the same excitement
• Borrowing money or getting into debt to fund gambling
• Unsuccessful attempts to cut back or stop gambling
• Using gambling to escape problems or negative emotions
• Jeopardising relationships or opportunities due to gambling

Self-Help Tools & Responsible Gaming Features

Most reputable online poker operators provide tools to help you gamble responsibly:

• Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit within a specified time period
• Loss Limits: Cap the amount you are willing to lose in a day, week, or month
• Reality Checks: Receive regular reminders about how long you have been playing and money spent
• Session Time Limits: Set automatic session timers to help manage playing time
• Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently exclude yourself from gambling activities
• Account Closure: Close your account if you wish to stop gambling

We strongly encourage you to use these tools when setting up your account.
