Responsible Gaming

Gaming Should Be Entertainment, Not Income

At Kick4ACause, we're committed to promoting responsible gaming practices. PayID pokies and all forms of gambling should be enjoyed as entertainment only. Gambling is never a reliable way to earn money or solve financial problems. Always gamble within your means and only with money you can afford to lose.

Age Verification

Gambling in Australia is only available to individuals aged 18 years and over (or the legal minimum age in your state or territory). By accessing our site, you confirm that you meet this legal requirement and are of sufficient legal age to participate in gambling activities.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

Problem gambling can affect anyone. Please review the following warning signs. If you recognize any of these behaviours in yourself or someone you know, help is available:

• Chasing losses: Returning to gamble to recover money you've lost
• Hiding gambling: Being secretive about the time or money spent gambling
• Neglecting responsibilities: Gambling instead of attending to work, family, or personal commitments
• Increasing stakes: Needing to gamble with larger amounts to achieve the same excitement
• Unsuccessful attempts to stop: Being unable to reduce or control gambling despite wanting to
• Financial hardship: Borrowing money, using credit, or facing debt due to gambling
• Mood changes: Becoming irritable, anxious, or depressed when unable to gamble
• Relationship conflict: Arguments with family or friends about gambling behaviour

Self-Help Tools & Limits

Most responsible gaming platforms offer tools to help you maintain control. These may include:

• Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit in a specified time period
• Loss Limits: Cap your losses over a day, week, or month
• Reality Checks: Receive periodic reminders about how long and how much you've been playing
• Time Limits: Set boundaries on how long you can play in a single session
• Self-Exclusion: Take a break from gambling for a period you choose (days, months, or years)

Please use these tools proactively to maintain healthy gaming habits.
