Responsible Gaming

Our Commitment to Responsible Gaming

At Payid Pokies AU, we are committed to promoting responsible gaming practices. Gambling should be enjoyed as entertainment only, never as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. We encourage all players to gamble within their means and to seek help if they feel their gambling is becoming problematic.

Age Verification

Online gaming in Australia is restricted to individuals aged 18 years and over. By accessing our website and participating in any gaming activities, you confirm that you are at least 18 years of age and meet all legal requirements to gamble in your jurisdiction. We take age verification seriously and reserve the right to verify your identity at any time.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

If you experience any of the following, you may be developing a gambling problem. Please take action to seek support:

• Chasing losses by gambling more to win back money you've lost
• Gambling with money needed for essential expenses (rent, food, bills)
• Hiding your gambling activities from family or friends
• Spending more time and money on gambling than intended
• Feeling anxious, irritable, or restless when not gambling
• Borrowing money to fund your gambling
• Lying about the extent of your gambling
• Neglecting work, study, or family responsibilities due to gambling
• Using gambling as an escape from stress, anxiety, or depression
• Being unable to reduce or stop gambling despite wanting to
