Responsible Gambling
AllAboardPokies.com.au is committed to promoting safe and responsible gambling. While pokies are an enjoyable form of entertainment for many Australians, we recognise that gambling can become harmful for some individuals. This page provides guidance and resources to help you stay in control.
The 18+ Rule
Online gambling is strictly for adults aged 18 years and over. If you are under 18, please leave this site immediately. Licensed casinos are required by law to verify the age of all players before allowing real money gameplay.
Signs of Problem Gambling
Gambling becomes a problem when it negatively affects your finances, relationships, work, or mental health. Warning signs include:
- Spending more money or time on gambling than you intended
- Chasing losses to try to win back money
- Hiding gambling activity from family or friends
- Borrowing money to fund gambling
- Feeling anxious or irritable when not gambling
- Neglecting work, study, or family responsibilities due to gambling
Tools for Responsible Play
Most licensed online casinos offer a range of responsible gambling tools:
- Deposit limits: Set daily, weekly, or monthly limits on how much you can deposit
- Session time limits: Receive reminders or automatic logouts after a set playing period
- Loss limits: Cap how much you can lose in a given timeframe
- Self-exclusion: Temporarily or permanently block yourself from a casino
- Reality checks: Pop-up reminders showing how long you have been playing
- Cool-off periods: Take a break from gambling for a set number of days
