Responsible Gaming

Gaming Should Be Entertainment

At deefence.info, we believe that online pokies and casino gaming should be enjoyed as a form of entertainment only. Gambling should never be viewed as a way to earn money, pay bills, or solve financial problems. Always gamble with money you can afford to lose, and set realistic expectations about potential outcomes.

We are committed to promoting responsible gaming practices and supporting the wellbeing of our players.

Age Verification

In Australia, you must be at least 18 years of age to participate in online gambling activities. We take age verification seriously and require all users to confirm they meet the legal age requirement in their jurisdiction before accessing gaming services.

If you are under 18, you are not permitted to use this service.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

If you recognise any of these warning signs in your own behaviour, it may be time to seek help:

• Chasing losses by gambling more money to recover what you've lost
• Spending more time and money on gambling than intended
• Hiding gambling activity or lying about the amount you gamble
• Neglecting family, work, or other responsibilities due to gambling
• Feeling anxious or irritable when trying to reduce or stop gambling
• Using gambling to escape problems or negative emotions
• Borrowing money to fund gambling activities
• Experiencing relationship conflicts due to gambling habits
• Gambling with money needed for essential expenses
• Failed attempts to cut back or stop gambling

Self-Help Tools and Limits

We provide several tools to help you maintain control of your gambling:

• Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount of money you can deposit within a specified period (daily, weekly, or monthly).
• Loss Limits: Establish a cap on the amount you are willing to lose during a gaming session.
• Reality Checks: Enable regular reminders during play to help you track the time and money spent.
• Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently exclude yourself from your account if you feel you need a break from gambling.
• Session Time Limits: Set automatic session timeouts to prevent extended play.

If you have concerns about your gambling, we encourage you to use these tools to regain control and play responsibly.
