Responsible Gaming

At NSW Pokies, we take responsible gaming seriously and encourage all our players to maintain a balanced and healthy approach to online gaming.

Safe and Balanced Gaming Habits

Gaming should be treated like any other form of entertainment – enjoyed responsibly and within your means. It's essential to set limits for yourself, both in terms of time and money, to avoid the risks associated with excessive gaming. A balanced lifestyle that includes a mix of work, rest, and leisure activities will help you maintain perspective when engaging with our games.

Gaming as Entertainment rather than Income

Never treat online gaming as a way to make money or supplement your income. Our site is designed for entertainment purposes only, and we encourage all players to keep this in mind at all times. Winners are expected to be gracious, but losses should not lead to financial difficulties.

Budget and Bankroll Management

To maintain control over your gaming experience, it's crucial to manage your funds wisely. Set a budget before playing and stick to it – never exceed the amount you can afford to lose. Our game settings allow for custom bankrolls, so be sure to make use of these features to avoid financial strain.

Deposit, Loss, Wager, and Session Limits

We offer various tools to help you set limits on your gaming activities:

• Deposit limits: Set a maximum amount that can be deposited per day/week/month.
• Loss limits: Establish a limit for the total losses incurred over a specified period.
• Wager limits: Control how much you wager per game/spin/hand to prevent excessive betting.
• Session limits: Configure time limits on gaming sessions to ensure breaks and rest periods.

Reality Checks and Time Reminders

Stay informed about your gaming activities with our built-in reality checks:

• Time reminders: Schedule alerts to remind you of the amount of time spent playing.
• Wager warnings: Receive notifications when you reach pre-set wager limits or when a session exceeds a predetermined duration.

Cooling-off Periods and Self-exclusion Tools

Sometimes, it's necessary to take a step back from gaming. Our self-help measures include:

• Cooling off periods: Take breaks from playing for specified periods, ranging from 24 hours to several weeks.
• Self-exclusion tools: Request permanent or temporary exclusion from our site, including blocking access on all devices.

Account Verification and Age Restrictions

To ensure that only individuals above the age of majority can join us, we require:

• Identification documents: Verify your identity through official government-issued IDs to confirm age.
• Age restrictions: Adhere strictly to national and international laws regarding online gaming for minors.
