Responsible Gaming
Gaming Should Be Entertainment
Online poker should be enjoyed as a form of entertainment, not as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. Playing poker involves risk, and there is no guaranteed way to win. We encourage all players to gamble responsibly and within their means.
Set a budget you can afford to lose, treat it as the cost of entertainment, and never gamble with money needed for essentials like rent, bills, or food.
Age Verification
Online poker in Australia is only available to players aged 18 years and over. It is your responsibility to verify that you meet the legal age requirement in your state or territory before playing.
We do not permit access to anyone under the legal gambling age. If you are unsure about the laws in your jurisdiction, please check with your local regulatory authority.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
Problem gambling can affect anyone. If you recognize any of the following warning signs in yourself or someone else, it may be time to seek help:
- Spending more time and money on gambling than intended
- Repeatedly trying to cut back or control gambling without success
- Feeling anxious or irritable when trying to reduce gambling
- Chasing losses by gambling more to win money back
- Hiding gambling activity or lying about the amount spent
- Using gambling to escape problems, stress, or negative emotions
- Borrowing money or going into debt to gamble
- Neglecting work, study, family, or relationships due to gambling
- Experiencing financial difficulties or running out of money unexpectedly
- Friends or family expressing concern about your gambling habits
If you tick any of these boxes, please reach out for support immediately.
Self-Help Tools
Most online poker platforms offer tools to help you maintain control of your gaming. These include:
- Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit over a specific period (daily, weekly, or monthly)
- Loss Limits: Cap the amount you are willing to lose in a session or over time
- Betting Limits: Restrict the stake sizes you can wager per hand or session
- Reality Checks: Receive notifications during play to remind you how long you have been playing and how much you have spent
- Session Timeouts: Set automatic session breaks to step away and reflect on your play
- Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently exclude yourself from gambling platforms for a set period
Use these tools proactively to manage your gambling and protect yourself.
