Responsible Gambling

Pokies are entertainment, not a way to make money. The odds always favour the house over time, so play only with money you can afford to lose.

Set your limits first

• Decide a deposit and time limit before you start.
• Never gamble with money needed for rent, bills or food.
• Take regular breaks and stop when the limit is reached.
• Do not chase losses or treat a bonus as a way to win back money.

Warning signs

Take notice if you are spending more than planned, hiding gambling from family, borrowing to play, feeling anxious when you are not playing, or finding it hard to stop.

Age and legality

You must be 18 or over. Check that online gambling is lawful where you live before registering with any casino.

Using the casino's tools

Most casinos, including Uptown Pokies, can offer deposit limits or account closure on request. Ask live chat what tools are available and use them early rather than late.
