Responsible Gaming

Our Commitment to Safe Gaming

Gaming Should Be Entertainment

At Enabling Equity, we believe that online pokies and gaming should be enjoyed as a form of entertainment only. Gaming is never a way to earn money, solve financial problems, or generate income. If you find yourself gambling to make money or recover losses, it's time to seek help.

We encourage all players to gamble responsibly and within their means. Set a budget you can afford to lose, treat it as the cost of entertainment, and stick to it.

Age Verification & Legal Requirements

In Australia, you must be 18 years of age or older to participate in online gaming and pokies. It is illegal for anyone under 18 to gamble.

By accessing gaming platforms, you confirm that you are of legal age and comply with all applicable Australian gambling laws and regulations in your state or territory.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

If you recognise any of the following signs, you may have a gambling problem. Please seek help immediately:

  • Chasing losses: Trying to win back money you've lost by gambling more
  • Hiding gambling: Concealing your gaming activity or lying about how much you gamble
  • Loss of control: Gambling longer or with more money than you intended
  • Neglecting responsibilities: Missing work, school, or family commitments to gamble
  • Relationship problems: Gaming is causing conflict with family or friends
  • Financial difficulties: Borrowing money or going into debt to fund gambling
  • Mood changes: Feeling anxious, irritable, or restless when not gambling
  • Escalating stakes: Needing to gamble with larger amounts to feel the same excitement
  • Failed attempts to stop: Repeatedly trying and failing to cut back or quit
  • Using gaming to escape: Gambling to cope with stress, anxiety, or depression

Self-Help Tools & Features

Most responsible gaming platforms offer tools to help you maintain control:

  • Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit within a specific timeframe (daily, weekly, monthly)
  • Loss Limits: Cap the amount you're willing to lose during a gaming session
  • Time Limits: Set session duration alerts to remind you when you've been playing for a set period
  • Reality Checks: Receive pop-up reminders of how long you've been playing and how much you've wagered
  • Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently exclude yourself from gaming platforms
  • Account Closure: Close your account if you wish to stop gaming entirely

Use these tools proactively to manage your gambling and stay in control of your gaming experience.
