Responsible Gambling

At this site, we are committed to promoting safe and responsible gambling. While online pokies are a fun and entertaining pastime for the vast majority of players, we recognise that for some individuals gambling can become problematic. This page provides important information, tools, and resources to help you stay in control.

Know the Signs of Problem Gambling

Problem gambling can affect anyone, regardless of age, income, or background. Common warning signs include:

  • Spending more time or money on gambling than you intended
  • Chasing losses — trying to win back money you've lost
  • Neglecting family, work, or social commitments due to gambling
  • Borrowing money or selling possessions to fund gambling
  • Feeling anxious, irritable, or depressed when not gambling
  • Lying to friends and family about your gambling activity
  • Using gambling as an escape from stress or emotional problems

Tools for Safe Gambling

Uptown Pokies provides several responsible gambling tools within your account settings:

  • Deposit Limits — Set daily, weekly, or monthly limits on how much you can deposit.
  • Loss Limits — Restrict how much you can lose in a given period.
  • Session Time Limits — Set reminders or automatic logouts after a set play duration.
  • Reality Checks — Pop-up reminders showing how long you have been playing.
  • Cool-Off Periods — Take a short break from the casino for 24 hours, 7 days, or 30 days.
  • Self-Exclusion — Permanently or temporarily exclude yourself from the casino.

Protecting Minors

Gambling is strictly for adults aged 18 and over. If you share your computer or device with minors, we strongly recommend using parental control software such as Net Nanny or CyberPatrol to restrict access to gambling websites. Always keep your casino account credentials private and secure.
