Responsible Gaming
Gambling Should Be Entertainment, Not Income
At Renurita Cares, we believe that pokies and online gaming should only ever be enjoyed as a form of entertainment. Gambling should never be viewed as a way to earn money, pay bills, or solve financial problems. Always gamble within your means and only with money you can afford to lose.
If you find yourself thinking of gambling as income or a solution to financial difficulties, please seek help immediately.
Age Verification
Gambling in Australia is only available to persons aged 18 years and over. By using our website and accessing any gaming services, you confirm that you are at least 18 years of age and meet all legal requirements in your jurisdiction.
If you are under 18, please do not use this website. If you are aware of underage gambling, please report it to the relevant authorities.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
Problem gambling can develop gradually. Be aware of these warning signs:
- Chasing losses by gambling more to recover money you've lost
- Gambling with money meant for bills, rent, or essential expenses
- Hiding your gambling activity or lying about how much you gamble
- Feeling anxious, irritable, or angry when trying to reduce gambling
- Needing to gamble with increasing amounts of money to feel the same excitement
- Neglecting family, friends, work, or hobbies because of gambling
- Borrowing money or going into debt to fund gambling
- Unsuccessful attempts to cut down or control your gambling
- Using gambling to escape problems, stress, or negative emotions
- Friends or family expressing concern about your gambling
If you recognise any of these signs in your own behaviour, please reach out for support.
Self-Help Tools & Controls
Most reputable online gaming platforms offer tools to help you stay in control:
- Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit within a specific timeframe (daily, weekly, or monthly)
- Loss Limits: Set a maximum amount you're willing to lose in a session
- Reality Checks: Receive periodic reminders of how long and how much you've been gambling
- Session Time Limits: Automatically log out after a set period to encourage breaks
- Self-Exclusion: Voluntarily exclude yourself from gambling for a set period (days, months, or years)
- Account Closure: Permanently close your account if you wish to stop gambling entirely
We encourage you to use these tools proactively. They are designed to help you maintain control and gamble responsibly.
