Responsible Gaming
Gaming Should Be Entertainment
At aweiding.com, we're committed to promoting responsible gaming practices. Online pokies should be enjoyed as a form of entertainment only, not as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. Like any form of entertainment, it should be fun, affordable, and within your control.
If you're gambling with money you can't afford to lose, or if gambling is affecting your relationships, work, or wellbeing, it's time to seek help.
Age Verification
You must be 18 years of age or older to gamble online in Australia. We take age verification seriously and verify all players before allowing access to our platform.
If you're under 18, please do not attempt to register or play. If you're concerned about a young person's gambling, contact the support organizations listed below.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
Do you recognize any of these warning signs in yourself or someone you know?

- Gambling with money needed for essentials like rent, bills, or food
- Spending more time or money on gambling than planned

If you've ticked three or more of these boxes, you may have a gambling problem and should seek professional help immediately.
Self-Help Tools & Safeguards
Many online casinos, including affiliated sites, offer built-in tools to help you stay in control:
- Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit within a specific timeframe
- Loss Limits: Cap the amount you're willing to lose in a session or over time
- Reality Checks: Receive regular notifications during play to remind you of time and money spent
- Session Limits: Set a maximum amount of time you can play in one session
- Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently exclude yourself from gambling
Use these tools proactively. They're designed to help you maintain control and gamble responsibly.
