Responsible Gaming
Gaming Should Be Entertainment
At andrecamilleri.com, we're committed to promoting responsible gaming practices. Pokies and online gaming should be enjoyed as a form of entertainment only, never as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. If you're playing, please do so within your means and for fun.
Remember: the house always has an advantage. Only gamble with money you can afford to lose.
Age Verification
In Australia, you must be 18 years of age or older to participate in gambling activities, including pokies and online gaming. We strictly enforce this requirement.
If you are under 18, or if you are in a state or territory with higher age restrictions, please do not use our services or access gaming platforms.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
If you experience any of the following, you may be developing a gambling problem:
- Chasing losses: Gambling more to recover money you've lost
- Hiding gambling: Keeping your gambling secret from family or friends
- Loss of control: Unable to stop gambling or stick to set limits
- Neglecting responsibilities: Missing work, school, or family commitments
- Financial problems: Borrowing money or going into debt to gamble
- Emotional distress: Feeling anxious, depressed, or irritable when not gambling
- Increased stakes: Needing to gamble with more money to feel the same excitement
- Failed attempts to quit: Repeatedly trying and failing to reduce or stop gambling
- Using gambling to escape: Gambling to cope with stress, sadness, or other problems
If you recognize any of these signs, please reach out for support immediately.
Self-Help Tools & Safer Gaming Features
Many gaming platforms offer tools to help you maintain control:
- Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit in a day, week, or month
- Loss Limits: Set a maximum amount you're willing to lose over a set period
- Reality Checks: Receive regular reminders about how long you've been playing and how much you've spent
- Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently exclude yourself from gaming platforms
- Time Limits: Set session time limits to prevent prolonged play
