Responsible Gaming

Play Responsibly – Keep Gaming Fun

Online pokies and casino games should be enjoyed as entertainment only. They are not a way to earn money or solve financial problems. The odds always favour the house, and there is no guaranteed way to win. Play within your means, set limits, and never gamble with money you cannot afford to lose.

Age Verification

You must be 18 years of age or older to use our services in Australia. We are committed to preventing underage gambling. If you are under 18, please do not access our website or participate in any gambling activity.

By using ekagm.care, you confirm that you are at least 18 years old and legally eligible to gamble in your jurisdiction.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

If you recognise any of the following behaviours in yourself or someone you know, it may be time to seek help:

• Chasing losses: Gambling more to recover money you've lost
• Loss of control: Unable to stick to your spending limits
• Hiding gambling: Concealing your gambling activity from friends or family
• Neglecting responsibilities: Missing work, school, or important commitments to gamble
• Gambling with borrowed money: Using credit cards, loans, or borrowed funds
• Mood swings: Becoming irritable or anxious when not gambling
• Increasing bets: Needing to gamble with larger amounts to feel the same excitement
• Failed attempts to quit: Repeatedly trying and failing to reduce or stop gambling
• Financial problems: Struggling to pay bills or debts due to gambling
• Relationship strain: Conflict with family or friends over your gambling

Self-Help Tools & Responsible Gaming Features

Most reputable online casinos offer built-in tools to help you manage your gambling. These include:

• Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you're willing to spend per day, week, or month
• Loss Limits: Set a cap on how much you're willing to lose before stopping
• Reality Checks: Receive regular reminders of how long you've been playing and how much you've spent
• Session Timeouts: Automatically log you out after a set period
• Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently block your account from accessing gambling sites
• Account Closure: Permanently close your account if you wish to stop gambling

We encourage you to use these tools as part of your responsible gaming strategy.
