Responsible Gaming
Gaming Should Be Entertainment, Not Income
At ausrps.com, we believe online pokies and casino gaming should be enjoyed as entertainment only. Gambling is never a reliable way to earn money or solve financial problems. Only gamble with money you can afford to lose, and always set strict limits before you play.
Age Verification
You must be at least 18 years of age to access and use ausrps.com. In some Australian jurisdictions, the legal gambling age may be higher. It is your responsibility to comply with your local laws and regulations.
If you are under the legal gambling age in your jurisdiction, you are not permitted to gamble on this website.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
If you recognise any of the following signs in yourself or someone you know, problem gambling may be developing:
- Chasing losses by gambling more to recover money lost
- Spending more time and money on gambling than intended
- Hiding gambling activities or lying about how much you gamble
- Feeling anxious, irritable, or restless when not gambling
- Neglecting family, work, education, or social responsibilities
- Borrowing money or using credit to fund gambling
- Unable to reduce or stop gambling despite wanting to
- Gambling to escape problems, stress, or negative emotions
- Experiencing financial difficulties due to gambling
- Lying to family or friends about gambling habits
If you experience any of these warning signs, seek help immediately.
Self-Help Tools & Gambling Controls
Most licensed online pokies and casino operators provide responsible gaming tools to help you maintain 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 during a gaming session
- Time Limits: Set a maximum duration for your gaming sessions
- Reality Checks: Receive reminders during play about time spent and money wagered
- Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently exclude yourself from accessing gambling platforms
- Account Closure: Close your account if you wish to stop gambling entirely
We encourage you to use these tools proactively. Most responsible operators make these controls easily accessible in your account settings.
