Responsible Gambling

Introduction

At Pokies Lounge Casino, we're committed to providing a safe and enjoyable online gaming experience for all our players. We believe that responsible gambling is essential in maintaining a healthy relationship between gaming and our customers. As a licensed online casino, we adhere to strict regulations and guidelines set by regulatory bodies, ensuring that we promote fair play and protect our players from harm.

Our primary goal is to treat gaming as entertainment, not a source of income. We strive to create an environment where our players can gamble responsibly, knowing when to stop and seeking help if needed.

What Is Responsible Gambling?

Responsible gambling means treating gaming as entertainment, not a way to make money. It's about being aware of your spending limits, setting boundaries, and taking regular breaks. If you're unsure whether your gaming habits are becoming problematic, watch out for these warning signs:

• Increasing bet sizes to chase losses
• Gambling beyond affordable means
• Neglecting personal or professional responsibilities
• Feeling anxious or distressed about gambling

Tools to Stay in Control

We offer various tools to help our players stay in control of their gaming habits. These include:

• Deposit Limits: Set a daily, weekly, or monthly limit on the amount you can deposit
• Wagering Limits: Restrict the maximum amount you can bet per spin or round
• Session Time Limits: Limit the time spent playing online and take regular breaks
• Reality Checks: Set reminders to remind you of your gaming activity and spending
• Loss Limits: Set a limit on losses and receive notifications when reached
• Self-Exclusion Options: Temporarily or permanently exclude yourself from playing online

How to Request Limits or Exclusion

If you need help staying in control, don't hesitate to reach out. You can set limits or activate self-exclusion by:

• Contacting our customer support team via email or phone
• Accessing your account settings to adjust limits or exclude yourself

Please note that all limit and exclusion changes will take effect immediately.
