Responsible Gaming

Gaming Should Be Entertainment, Not Income

Online pokies and gaming should only be enjoyed as a form of entertainment, not as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. The house always has an advantage, and you should only gamble with money you can afford to lose. If you find yourself viewing gaming as a source of income, it may be time to reassess your relationship with gambling.

Age Verification

You must be 18 years of age or older to use this website and participate in online gaming. By accessing name-jewellery.com.au's payid pokies services, you confirm that you meet the minimum legal age requirement in Australia.

If you are under 18, please do not proceed. Gambling by minors is illegal and harmful.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

Problem gambling can develop gradually. Be aware of these warning signs:

• Chasing Losses: Trying to win back money you've lost by gambling more
• Hiding Your Gambling: Keeping your gaming activity secret from family or friends
• Increasing Amounts: Needing to gamble with larger amounts to achieve the same excitement
• Loss of Control: Gambling longer or with more money than intended
• Neglecting Responsibilities: Missing work, school, or family commitments due to gaming
• Financial Problems: Borrowing money or using credit to fund gambling
• Mood Changes: Becoming anxious, irritable, or depressed when unable to gamble
• Unsuccessful Attempts to Quit: Repeatedly trying and failing to reduce or stop gambling
• Escape Behaviour: Using gambling to escape from problems or negative emotions
• Relationship Conflicts: Arguments with loved ones about your gambling habits

If you recognise any of these signs in yourself or someone you know, seek help immediately.

Self-Help Tools & Safer Gaming Features

Most reputable gaming operators provide tools to help you maintain control:

• Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit within a specific timeframe (daily, weekly, or monthly)
• Loss Limits: Set a maximum amount you're willing to lose over a period
• Session Time Limits: Set a timer to limit how long you play in one session
• Reality Checks: Receive regular pop-up reminders about how long and how much you've been playing
• Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently block yourself from accessing gaming sites
• Account Closure: Close your account if you need to stop gambling entirely

Use these tools proactively. They are designed to protect you and help maintain responsible gaming habits.
