Responsible Gaming

Gaming Should Be Fun, Not a Financial Solution

At Celebrations Celebrant, we're committed to promoting responsible gaming. Online pokies should be enjoyed as entertainment only, not as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. If you choose to play, please do so within your means and set clear limits before you start.

Age Verification

Online pokies in Australia are only available to players aged 18 years and over. By accessing any gaming services through our site, you confirm that you are of legal age in your jurisdiction. It is your responsibility to comply with all local laws and regulations regarding online gambling.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

Problem gambling can affect anyone. If you recognize any of the following signs in your behaviour, please seek help immediately:

• ☐ Spending more time or money on gambling than intended
• ☐ Chasing losses by gambling more to try to recover money
• ☐ Hiding gambling activity or lying about how much you gamble
• ☐ Gambling to escape stress, anxiety, or other emotions
• ☐ Neglecting family, work, or personal responsibilities due to gambling
• ☐ Borrowing money or using credit to fund gambling
• ☐ Feeling irritable or anxious when unable to gamble
• ☐ Relationship problems caused by gambling
• ☐ Unable to stop or cut back on gambling despite wanting to

Self-Help Tools & Safer Gaming Features

Most reputable online poker providers offer built-in tools to help you gamble responsibly. Take advantage of these features:

• Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit within a specified time period (daily, weekly, monthly).
• Loss Limits: Establish a maximum amount you're willing to lose before you stop playing.
• Reality Checks: Receive pop-up reminders of how long you've been playing and how much you've wagered.
• Time-Out/Break: Take a temporary break from your account (hours or days) without closing it permanently.

Use these tools proactively—they're designed to keep gaming fun and within your control.
