Responsible Gaming
Gaming Should Be Entertainment
At Fusion Group Web Design, we're committed to promoting responsible gaming practices. Online pokies and gaming should only ever be viewed as a form of entertainment, not as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. Please gamble 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 comply with all Australian gambling laws and regulations. If you are under the legal age, please do not participate.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
If you recognise any of the following signs, you may be developing a gambling problem:
- Spending more time or money on gambling than intended
- Chasing losses by gambling more to recover money you've lost
- Hiding or lying about your gambling activities
- Gambling to escape problems, stress, or negative feelings
- Neglecting family, work, or other responsibilities due to gambling
- Borrowing money to gamble or pay gambling debts
- Unable to cut back or stop gambling despite wanting to
- Feeling anxious, irritable, or restless when trying to reduce gambling
- Risking relationships or opportunities because of gambling
If you recognise these signs in yourself or someone else, please seek help immediately.
