Responsible Gaming

Gaming Should Be Entertainment

At A Bit of Everything, we're committed to promoting responsible gaming practices. Pokies and online gaming should only ever be viewed as a form of entertainment, not as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. Remember: the odds always favour the house, and you should never gamble with money you cannot afford to lose.

Age Verification

In Australia, you must be at least 18 years of age to legally gamble on pokies and online gaming platforms. If you are under 18, please do not use our services. We take age verification seriously and reserve the right to request proof of age at any time.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

If you experience any of the following, you may be developing a gambling problem:

• Gambling with increasing amounts of money to achieve the same excitement
• Repeatedly trying to cut back or stop gambling without success
• Chasing losses by gambling more to recover money you've lost
• Hiding your gambling activities or lying about how much you gamble
• Neglecting family, work, or personal responsibilities due to gambling
• Using gambling to escape problems, anxiety, or negative emotions
• Borrowing money or going into debt to fund gambling
• Experiencing relationship conflicts because of your gambling
• Feeling anxious, irritable, or restless when not gambling
• Jeopardizing or losing important relationships, job opportunities, or education due to gambling

Self-Help Tools & Responsible Gaming Features

Most licensed gaming platforms offer tools to help you stay in control:

• Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit within a specific timeframe (daily, weekly, or monthly)
• Loss Limits: Set a maximum amount you're willing to lose in a gaming session
• Reality Checks: Receive pop-up reminders about how long you've been playing and how much you've spent
• Session Limits: Automatically log out after a set period of time
• Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently exclude yourself from gaming platforms
• Account Closure: Permanently close your account if you wish to stop gambling

We encourage you to use these tools proactively to maintain control of your gaming habits.
