Responsible Gaming
Gaming Should Be Fun, Not a Financial Solution
At Alliance Darwin, we believe that online pokies and casino gaming should be enjoyed purely as entertainment. Gambling should never be viewed as a way to earn money, pay bills, or solve financial problems. When gaming stops being fun, it's time to take a step back and seek support.
We are committed to promoting responsible gaming practices and supporting the wellbeing of our players.
Age Verification
In Australia, you must be 18 years of age or older to participate in online gambling and gaming activities. We strictly verify the age of all players. If you are under 18, we encourage you to speak with a trusted adult about the risks of gambling.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
Do you recognise any of these warning signs in your own behaviour?
- Chasing Losses: Trying to win back money you've lost by gambling more
- Loss of Control: Gambling longer or with more money than intended
- Neglecting Responsibilities: Letting gambling interfere with work, study, or family time
- Hiding Gambling: Being secretive about how much you gamble or how much money you spend
- Financial Strain: Borrowing money to gamble or gamble to pay debts
- Mood Changes: Feeling anxious, irritable, or restless when not gambling
- Failed Attempts to Quit: Repeatedly trying and failing to reduce or stop gambling
- Escalating Stakes: Needing to gamble with larger amounts to get the same excitement
- Impact on Relationships: Friends or family expressing concern about your gambling
If you recognise any of these signs, it's important to reach out for support immediately.
