Responsible Gaming
Play for Entertainment, Not Income
At Save Sunshine Pool, we believe that online pokies and casino games should be enjoyed as entertainment only. Gambling should never be viewed as a way to earn money, solve financial problems, or supplement your income. Always gamble within your means and only with money you can afford to lose.
Age Verification
You must be at least 18 years of age (or the legal gambling age in your state) to use our services. We are committed to preventing underage gambling. If you are under the legal age, please do not access our website or participate in any gambling activities.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
Problem gambling can develop quickly. Be aware of these warning signs:
- Chasing losses by gambling more to recover money lost
- Spending more time and money on gambling than intended
- Hiding or lying about your gambling activities
- Neglecting family, work, or personal responsibilities due to gambling
- Borrowing money to gamble or pay gambling debts
- Feeling anxious, irritable, or restless when not gambling
- Using gambling to escape problems or negative feelings
- Failed attempts to reduce or stop gambling
- Experiencing financial difficulties due to gambling
- Jeopardizing relationships, employment, or education because of gambling
If you recognise any of these signs in yourself or others, help is available.
Self-Help Tools & Player Controls
Most Australian online gambling providers offer tools to help you maintain control:
- Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit within a specified time period
- Loss Limits: Cap the amount you're willing to lose in a session or timeframe
- Time Limits: Set reminders or automatic session timeouts
- Reality Checks: Receive periodic notifications during play to check your balance and time spent
- Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently exclude yourself from gambling accounts
We encourage you to use these tools proactively to maintain healthy gambling habits.
