Responsible Gaming
Gaming Should Be Entertainment
At alettertouq.org, we believe that online gaming should be enjoyed as a form of entertainment only. Gambling is never a reliable way to earn money or solve financial problems. PlayID pokies and all forms of gambling carry risk, and it's important to play within your means and for fun.
Only gamble with money you can afford to lose, and never view it as an investment or income source.
Age Verification
You must be at least 18 years of age (or the legal gambling age in your jurisdiction) to access and use gaming services. We are committed to preventing underage gambling and maintaining a safe environment for adult players only.
If you are under 18, please do not proceed with gaming activities.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
Be aware of these common warning signs that may indicate a gambling problem:
- Chasing losses by gambling more to recover money lost
- Gambling with money intended for bills, rent, or essential expenses
- Hiding gambling activity from family, friends, or partners
- Neglecting work, study, or personal responsibilities due to gambling
- Feeling anxious, irritable, or depressed when not gambling
- Increasing the amount of money or time spent gambling
- Failed attempts to cut down or stop gambling
- Borrowing money to gamble or pay gambling debts
- Lying about the extent of gambling involvement
- Gambling to escape problems or negative emotions
If you recognise any of these signs in yourself or someone you know, please seek help immediately.
