Responsible Gaming

Introduction

At Enabling Equity, we believe that gaming should be enjoyed as entertainment only. Pokies and online gaming are games of chance and should never be viewed as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. Please gamble responsibly and within your means.

Age Verification

You must be at least 18 years of age (or the legal gambling age in your jurisdiction) to participate in gaming activities. We are committed to preventing underage gambling and strictly enforce age verification on all our platforms.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

If you recognise any of the following warning signs, you may be developing a gambling problem:

• Spending more time or money on gambling than intended
• Chasing losses by gambling more to recover money you've lost
• Hiding your gambling activities from family, friends, or partners
• Gambling to escape stress, anxiety, depression, or other negative emotions
• Neglecting work, school, family, or other important responsibilities
• Borrowing money or going into debt to fund gambling
• Experiencing mood swings or irritability when unable to gamble
• Lying about the amount of time or money spent gambling
• Failed attempts to cut down or stop gambling
• Feeling a need to gamble with increasing amounts of money

Self-Help Tools

We provide several self-help features to support responsible gaming:

• Deposit Limits: Set daily, weekly, or monthly deposit limits to control your spending
• Loss Limits: Establish maximum loss limits to protect your finances
• Reality Checks: Receive pop-up reminders during gaming sessions to reflect on your activity
• Session Time Limits: Set automatic session timers to manage your playing time
• Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently exclude yourself from gaming platforms
