Responsible Gaming
Introduction
At 24calibre.com, we believe that online pokies and casino gaming should be enjoyed purely as entertainment. Gaming is not a way to earn money or solve financial problems. It should only be played with money you can afford to lose, and only when you're in a positive frame of mind.
We're committed to promoting responsible gaming practices and supporting players who may be experiencing difficulties.
Age Verification
You must be 18 years of age or older (or the legal gambling age in your jurisdiction) to use our services. 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 attempt to access gambling services.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
Do you recognize any of these warning signs in your own behaviour? If so, it may be time to seek help:
- Chasing losses: Trying to win back money you've lost by gambling more
- Hiding gambling: Concealing the extent of your gambling from family or friends
- Loss of control: Gambling longer or with more money than intended
- Neglecting responsibilities: Missing work, school, or family commitments due to gambling
- Increasing stakes: Needing to gamble with larger amounts to feel the same excitement
- Financial problems: Borrowing money or going into debt to fund gambling
- Mood changes: Becoming irritable or anxious when unable to gamble
- Failed attempts to stop: Being unable to cut back despite wanting to
- Using gambling to escape: Gambling to cope with stress, anxiety, or depression
Self-Help Tools
Most online casinos and pokies platforms offer built-in tools to help you maintain control. These include:
- Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit within a specific time period (daily, weekly, or monthly)
- Loss Limits: Set a maximum amount you're willing to lose in a given timeframe
- Reality Checks: Receive regular notifications reminding you how long you've been playing and how much you've spent
- Session Time Limits: Automatically log out after a set period of gameplay
- Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently exclude yourself from accessing gambling services
We encourage you to use these tools proactively to manage your gaming responsibly.
