Responsible Gaming

Our Commitment to Safe Gaming

At ausbiometric2019.org, we are committed to promoting responsible gaming practices. Online pokies and gaming should be enjoyed as entertainment only, not as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. Please gamble responsibly and within your means.

Age Verification

You must be 18 years of age or older to access and use our pokies services. This is a legal requirement in Australia. By accessing this website, you confirm that you meet this age requirement. We take age verification seriously and reserve the right to request proof of age at any time.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

If you experience any of the following, you may be developing a gambling problem. Please seek help:

• Chasing losses by gambling with more money to recover what you've lost
• Gambling with money needed for essentials (rent, food, bills)
• Hiding your gambling activity or lying about how much you gamble
• Neglecting family, friends, work, or other responsibilities due to gambling
• Feeling anxious, irritable, or restless when trying to cut down or stop gambling
• Needing to gamble with increasing amounts of money to achieve the same excitement
• Borrowing money or going into debt to fund gambling
• Unable to control or stop gambling despite wanting to
• Using gambling to escape problems or cope with negative emotions
• Failed attempts to reduce or stop gambling

Self-Help Tools & Limits

We provide the following tools to help you maintain control:

• Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit within a specified period
• Loss Limits: Restrict the amount you're willing to lose during gaming sessions
• Time Limits: Set reminders and session time limits to prevent extended play
• Reality Checks: Receive regular pop-up notifications during play to remind you of time and money spent
• Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently exclude yourself from our services if you need a break

Use these tools to help manage your gaming habits and maintain control of your entertainment budget.
