Responsible Gaming

Gaming Should Be Entertainment

At Corporate Boardies, we believe that online pokies and casino gaming should be enjoyed as a form of entertainment only. Gambling is never a way to earn money or solve financial problems. Always gamble within your means and only with money you can afford to lose.

Age Verification

You must be 18 years of age or older (or the legal gambling age in your state) to use our services. We take age verification seriously and comply with all Australian gambling regulations. If you are under the legal age, please do not access gambling services.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

If you recognise any of the following signs, you may be developing a gambling problem:

• Gambling for longer periods than intended
• Chasing losses by gambling more to recover money lost
• Hiding gambling activity from family, friends, or partners
• Neglecting work, school, or family responsibilities due to gambling
• Experiencing mood swings or anxiety related to gambling
• Borrowing money to fund gambling activities
• Feeling unable to stop or control gambling urges
• Using gambling to escape problems or negative emotions
• Gambling with increasing amounts of money to achieve the same excitement
• Lying about the amount of time or money spent gambling

If any of these resonate with you, please seek help immediately.

Self-Help Tools & Controls

Most responsible gaming platforms offer tools to help you maintain control:

• Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit per day, week, or month
• Loss Limits: Set a limit on how much you're willing to lose
• Reality Checks: Receive regular reminders about how long you've been playing
• Session Time Limits: Set a timer to limit your gaming sessions
• Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently exclude yourself from gaming platforms
• Account Cooling-Off Periods: Take a break from your account for a set period

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