Responsible Gaming
Introduction
At 2021districtconferencekingaroy.com, we believe that gaming should be enjoyed as entertainment only, not as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. PayID pokies and online gambling should be fun and exciting activities that fit within your budget, like any other form of entertainment. If you find yourself viewing gambling as an income source or a solution to financial difficulties, it's time to seek help.
Age Verification
You must be at least 18 years of age (or the legal gambling age in your jurisdiction) to participate in any gambling activities on this website. 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
Problem gambling can develop gradually. Please review the following warning signs. If you recognize any of these behaviors in yourself or someone you know, seek help immediately:
- Gambling with larger amounts than you can afford to lose
- Chasing losses by gambling more to try to win back money
- Lying to family, friends, or counselors about the extent of your gambling
- Neglecting work, school, family, or other important responsibilities due to gambling
- Gambling to escape problems, stress, anxiety, or depression
- Feeling restless or irritable when attempting to reduce or stop gambling
- Failed attempts to control or stop gambling
- Borrowing money to fund gambling activities
- Experiencing relationship problems due to gambling
- Jeopardizing education, career, or relationship opportunities
Self-Help Tools
Many gambling operators and platforms offer tools to help you maintain control. Consider using these features:
- Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit within a specific time period
- Loss Limits: Cap the amount you're willing to lose over a set timeframe
- Spending Limits: Control your total gambling expenditure
- Reality Checks: Enable reminders about how long you've been gambling
- Session Time Limits: Set automatic logouts after a certain duration
- Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently exclude yourself from accessing gambling platforms
If your chosen operator doesn't offer these tools, we encourage you to switch to one that prioritizes responsible gaming.
