Gambling Should Be Entertainment

Online poker should be enjoyed as a form of entertainment only. It is never a reliable way to earn money or solve financial problems. We encourage all players to approach poker with realistic expectations and to only gamble with money they can afford to lose.

Remember: the odds always favour the house over time. Play for fun, not profit.

Age Verification

Online poker is only available to individuals who are 18 years of age or older in Australia, or the legal gambling age in your jurisdiction, whichever is greater.

We take age verification seriously. If you are under the legal age, you must not create an account or participate in any gambling activities.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

Gambling can become problematic. Be aware of these warning signs:

• Spending more time and money on gambling than intended
• Chasing losses by gambling more to recover money lost
• Hiding gambling activities from family, friends, or partners
• Gambling to escape problems, stress, anxiety, or depression
• Feeling anxious or irritable when not gambling
• Borrowing money to gamble or pay gambling debts
• Neglecting work, school, or personal relationships due to gambling
• Failed attempts to cut back or stop gambling
• Lying about the extent of gambling activities
• Loss of control over gambling behaviour

If you recognise any of these signs in yourself or someone else, it's important to seek help immediately.

Self-Help Tools

Most reputable online poker sites offer tools to help you maintain control of your gambling:

• Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit in a day, week, or month
• Loss Limits: Set a maximum amount you're willing to lose in a given period
• Reality Checks: Receive regular reminders about how long you've been playing and how much you've spent
• Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently exclude yourself from your account, preventing access for a set period
• Time Limits: Set automatic session timeouts to prevent extended play

Use these tools proactively. They can help you enjoy poker responsibly and prevent problem gambling before it starts.
