Responsible Gaming
Gaming Should Be Entertainment
At Game Enough, we're committed to promoting responsible gaming practices. Online pokies and casino games should only ever be viewed as a form of entertainment, not as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. If you choose to play, please do so responsibly and within your means.
Remember: the house always has an edge. Only gamble with money you can afford to lose.
Age Verification
You must be at least 18 years of age to gamble in Australia. If you're under 18, gambling is illegal and we strongly discourage participation. Parents and guardians should monitor their children's online activities to prevent underage gambling access.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
If you recognize any of the following signs in yourself or someone you know, it may indicate problem gambling:
- Chasing losses by gambling more to recover money you've lost
- Gambling with increasing amounts of money to get the same excitement
- Hiding gambling activities from family, friends, or partners
- Feeling anxious or irritable when trying to reduce or stop gambling
- Neglecting work, school, family responsibilities, or hobbies due to gambling
- Lying about the amount of time or money spent gambling
- Using gambling to escape problems, stress, anxiety, or depression
- Borrowing money or going into debt to fund gambling
- Experiencing relationship problems or financial difficulties due to gambling
- Failed attempts to cut back or stop gambling
Self-Help Tools & Features
Most responsible online gaming platforms offer tools to help you maintain control:
- Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit within a specified time period (daily, weekly, or monthly)
- Loss Limits: Set a maximum amount you're willing to lose within a specific timeframe
- Reality Checks: Receive pop-up reminders of how long you've been playing and how much you've wagered
- Session Time Limits: Set automatic session timeouts to prevent extended gambling periods
- Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently exclude yourself from gambling accounts
