Responsible Gaming
Gaming Should Be Entertainment
At Devine Liberty Swing, we believe that online pokies should be enjoyed as a form of entertainment only, not as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. Gambling involves risk, and the house always has an edge. Please gamble responsibly and within your means.
Remember: you should never gamble more than you can afford to lose.
Age Verification
In Australia, you must be at least 18 years of age to participate in online gambling and pokies. This is a legal requirement under Australian gambling laws.
We are committed to preventing underage gambling. If you are under 18, please do not use our services. Parents and guardians should monitor their children's online activity and use parental controls where appropriate.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
If you recognise any of the following signs, you may be developing a gambling problem. Please seek help:
- Chasing losses: Trying to win back money you've lost by gambling more
- Hiding your gambling: Keeping your gambling activity secret from family or friends
- Loss of control: Gambling longer or spending more money than you intended
- Neglecting responsibilities: Missing work, school, or family commitments because of gambling
- Borrowing money: Taking loans or using credit to fund gambling
- Mood changes: Gambling to escape stress, anxiety, depression, or other negative emotions
- Tolerance: Needing to gamble with increasing amounts of money for the same excitement
- Failed attempts to cut back: Repeatedly trying to reduce or stop gambling without success
- Relationship conflict: Arguments with loved ones about your gambling
- Financial problems: Struggling to pay bills or experiencing debt due to gambling
Self-Help Tools
We provide several tools to help you maintain control over your gambling:
- Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit within a specified timeframe (daily, weekly, or monthly)
- Loss Limits: Restrict the amount of money you're willing to lose during a gaming session
- Reality Checks: Receive regular reminders about the time and money you've spent while gambling
- Session Limits: Set a maximum duration for your gaming sessions
- Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently close your account if you feel you've lost control
- Account Closure: Permanently close your account and exclude yourself from our services
These tools are available in your account settings. We encourage you to use them proactively to manage your gambling responsibly.
