Responsible Gaming
Gaming Should Be Entertainment
At Payid Pokies AU, we're committed to promoting responsible gaming practices. Online pokies and casino games should be enjoyed as a form of entertainment only, not as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. The house always has a mathematical advantage, and players should never gamble with money they cannot afford to lose.
Please gamble responsibly and within your means. Set limits before you play and stick to them.
Age Verification
You must be at least 18 years of age (or the legal gambling age in your Australian state or territory) to participate in online gaming on draxsen.net. 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 use our services.
By accessing Payid Pokies AU, you confirm that you are of legal age to gamble in your jurisdiction.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
Problem gambling can develop gradually. Please review the following warning signs. If you experience any of these, consider seeking help:
- Chasing losses: Trying to win back money you've lost by gambling more
- Hiding gambling activity: Keeping your gaming secret from family, friends, or loved ones
- Loss of control: Inability to stop gambling or set limits on time and money spent
- Increasing amounts: Needing to gamble with larger amounts to achieve the same excitement
- Neglecting responsibilities: Prioritising gambling over work, school, family, or personal obligations
- Using gambling to escape: Gambling to cope with stress, anxiety, depression, or other negative emotions
- Borrowing to gamble: Taking loans, using credit cards, or borrowing money to fund gambling
- Relationship problems: Conflict with family or friends about your gambling habits
- Financial difficulties: Missing bills, rent, or other expenses due to gambling losses
- Failed attempts to quit: Repeatedly trying and failing to reduce or stop gambling
If you recognise any of these signs in yourself or someone you know, help is available.
Self-Help Tools & Controls
We provide several tools to help you maintain control of your gaming:
- Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit within a specified timeframe (daily, weekly, or monthly)
- Loss Limits: Set a maximum amount you're willing to lose before stopping for a set period
- Session Time Limits: Automatically log you out after a predetermined amount of playing time
- Reality Checks: Receive periodic reminders of how long you've been playing and how much you've spent
- Self-Exclusion: Take a break from gaming by voluntarily excluding yourself from your account for a period of your choosing
