Responsible Gaming
Our Commitment to Safe Gaming
At Royal Reels Pokies, we believe that gaming should be entertainment—a fun activity enjoyed responsibly. Pokies and online gaming should never be viewed as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. We encourage all players to gamble within their means and to recognise when gaming stops being enjoyable.
Age Verification
You must be 18 years of age or older to use this website and participate in any gaming activities. This is a legal requirement in Australia. We take age verification seriously and reserve the right to verify your identity at any time. If you are under the legal age, please do not proceed.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
Problem gambling can develop gradually. Please be honest with yourself and watch for these warning signs:
- Gambling with money you cannot afford to lose
- Chasing losses by gambling more to recover lost money
- Hiding your gambling activity from family or friends
- Spending more time and money on gaming than intended
- Borrowing money to fund gambling activities
- Experiencing mood swings or irritability when unable to gamble
- Neglecting work, study, family, or social commitments due to gaming
- Lying about the amount of time or money spent gambling
- Feeling anxious or stressed when not gambling
- Gambling to escape problems or negative feelings
If you recognise any of these signs in yourself or someone you know, help is available.
Self-Help Tools
We provide several tools to help you maintain control over your gaming:
- Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you are willing to deposit within a specified period (daily, weekly, or monthly)
- Loss Limits: Set a maximum amount of losses you are willing to accept before taking a break
- Reality Checks: Receive notifications during your gaming session reminding you how long you have been playing
- Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently exclude yourself from gaming on our platform if you feel you need a break
- Time-Out: Take a cooling-off period from gaming without closing your account
These tools are available in your account settings. We encourage you to use them to manage your gaming activity responsibly.
