Responsible Gaming
Introduction
At amandacrehan.com, we're committed to promoting responsible gaming practices. Online pokies should be enjoyed as entertainment only, not as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. Gaming outcomes are determined by chance, and the house always has a mathematical advantage. Please play within your means and only with money you can afford to lose.
Age Verification
All players must be at least 18 years of age or the legal gambling age in their jurisdiction to participate in online gaming. We take age verification seriously and reserve the right to request proof of age at any time. If you are under the legal age, please do not access or use our services.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
If you recognise any of the following behaviours in yourself or someone you know, it may be time to seek help:
- ☐ Chasing losses by gambling more to recover money lost
- ☐ Spending more time and money on gambling than intended
- ☐ Hiding gambling activities or lying about the amount spent
- ☐ Gambling to escape problems, stress, or negative emotions
- ☐ Feeling anxious or irritable when unable to gamble
- ☐ Borrowing money or using savings to fund gambling
- ☐ Neglecting work, study, family, or relationships due to gambling
- ☐ Failed attempts to reduce or stop gambling
- ☐ Experiencing financial difficulties as a result of gambling
Self-Help Tools & Responsible Gaming Features
Most reputable online gaming operators offer tools to help you maintain control:
- Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit within a specified timeframe (daily, weekly, or monthly)
- Loss Limits: Cap the amount of money you're willing to lose during a gaming session
- Reality Checks: Receive periodic reminders of how long you've been playing and how much you've spent
- Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently exclude yourself from gaming sites to take a break
- Session Time Limits: Set automatic timeouts to prevent extended gaming sessions
We encourage you to utilise these features and speak with customer support if you need assistance setting them up.
