Responsible Gaming

Gaming Should Be Entertainment

Online pokies should be enjoyed as a form of entertainment only, not as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. While gaming can be fun and exciting, it's important to approach it responsibly and within your means.

Remember: the house always has a mathematical edge, and there is no guaranteed way to win. Play only with money you can afford to lose.

Age Verification

Digital Enterprise Pathways is committed to ensuring that only adults can access our gaming content. In Australia, you must be 18 years of age or older to participate in online gaming.

We employ strict age verification processes to prevent underage gambling. If you are under 18, please do not use our services.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

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

• Spending more time and money on gaming than intended
• Chasing losses by gambling more to try to recover money lost
• Hiding your gambling activity from family, friends, or partners
• Experiencing feelings of anxiety or irritability when not gambling
• Using gambling to escape problems, stress, or negative emotions
• Borrowing money or getting into debt to fund gambling
• Neglecting work, study, or relationships due to gambling
• Failed attempts to cut back or stop gambling
• Lying about the extent of your gambling involvement
• Feeling a need to gamble with increasing amounts to achieve the same excitement

If you recognise these signs in yourself or someone else, help is available.

Self-Help Tools & Responsible Gaming Features

We encourage all players to use the following tools to maintain control over their gaming:

• Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you're willing to spend per day, week, or month. Once reached, no further deposits are accepted.
• Loss Limits: Establish a threshold for losses. Once this limit is reached, your account will be temporarily restricted.
• Reality Checks: Enable reminder notifications during gaming sessions to help you keep track of time and spending.
• Session Time Limits: Set a maximum duration for each gaming session.
• Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently exclude yourself from your account, preventing access for a period you specify.
• Cool-Off Periods: Take a break from gaming for a set period without permanently closing your account.

All of these tools are available within your account settings. We recommend using them proactively.
