Responsible Gaming
Gaming Should Be Entertainment, Not Income
At tradingformillions.com, we're committed to promoting responsible gaming practices. Online pokies should only be viewed as a form of entertainment, not as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. The odds are always in favour of the house, and you should only gamble with money you can afford to lose.
Age Verification
In Australia, you must be at least 18 years of age to participate in online gambling and pokie gaming. We take age verification seriously and comply with all local regulations. If you're under the legal age, please do not use our services.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
Do you recognise any of the following warning signs? If so, you may be developing a gambling problem:
- Chasing losses by gambling more to try to recover money lost
- Hiding your gambling activities or lying to family and friends about how much you gamble
- Gambling with money intended for bills, rent, or essential expenses
- Feeling anxious or irritable when unable to gamble
- Gambling for longer periods than intended
- Neglecting work, school, or family responsibilities due to gambling
- Borrowing money to gamble or pay off gambling debts
- Needing to gamble with increasing amounts of money to achieve the same excitement
- Failed attempts to reduce or stop gambling
- Using gambling as a way to escape problems or regulate mood
If you've ticked any of these boxes, it's important to seek help immediately.
Self-Help Tools and Safeguards
Most reputable online gaming platforms offer tools to help you maintain control. These include:
- Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you're willing to deposit within a specified timeframe (daily, weekly, or monthly)
- Loss Limits: Cap the amount you're prepared to lose during a gaming session
- Reality Checks: Receive regular notifications reminding you how long you've been playing and how much you've spent
- Session Timers: Set automatic reminders to take breaks
- Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently exclude yourself from accessing gambling services
- Account Closure: Request permanent closure of your account if you wish to stop gambling entirely
We strongly encourage you to use these tools to maintain healthy gaming habits.
