Responsible Gaming

Our Commitment to Responsible Gaming

At PayID Pokies Australia, we are committed to promoting responsible gaming practices. Gaming should be enjoyed as a form of entertainment only, not as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. If you find yourself struggling with your gaming habits, support is available.

Age Verification

All players must be at least 18 years of age or the legal gambling age in your jurisdiction to participate in online gaming. It is illegal for minors to gamble. We take age verification seriously and reserve the right to verify your identity at any time.

If you are under 18, please do not access gaming sites.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

Problem gambling can develop gradually. Be aware of these warning signs:

• Spending more time and money on gambling than intended
• Chasing losses by gambling more to win back money you've lost
• Hiding your gambling activities or lying about how much you gamble
• Neglecting family, friends, work, or other responsibilities due to gambling
• Borrowing money to gamble or gambling with money needed for essentials
• Experiencing mood swings, anxiety, or irritability related to gambling
• Feeling restless or anxious when not gambling
• Unsuccessfully trying to control or reduce your gambling
• Using gambling to escape problems or negative emotions
• Experiencing financial difficulties as a result of gambling
