Responsible Gaming
Gaming Should Be Entertainment
At postsurgery.care, we believe that online pokies and casino gaming should be enjoyed as a form of entertainment only. Gaming is never a reliable way to earn money or solve financial problems. Please gamble only with money you can afford to lose, and always play within your means.
Age Verification
You must be at least 18 years of age (or the legal gambling age in your state or territory) to access and participate in online pokies and casino games in Australia. If you are under the legal age, please do not use our services.
We take age verification seriously and comply with all Australian gambling regulations.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
If you recognise any of the following signs in yourself or someone you know, it may be time to seek help:
- Spending more time and money on gambling than intended
- Chasing losses by gambling more to recover lost money
- Hiding gambling activity or lying about how much you're gambling
- Feeling anxious, irritable, or guilty when not gambling
- Using gambling to escape problems, stress, or negative emotions
- Neglecting family, work, or other responsibilities due to gambling
- Borrowing money or going into debt to fund gambling
- Unsuccessful attempts to cut back or stop gambling
- Relationships suffering due to your gambling behaviour
- Experiencing sleep disturbances or health problems related to stress from gambling
Self-Help Tools & Limits
Most reputable online casinos offer tools to help you maintain control of your gaming:
- Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit over a specific period (daily, weekly, or monthly)
- Loss Limits: Cap the amount of money you're willing to lose during a gaming session
- Reality Checks: Receive pop-up reminders showing how long you've been playing and how much you've spent
- Session Limits: Set a time limit for your gaming sessions
- Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently exclude yourself from accessing your account
- Account Pause: Take a break from gaming for a set period
We encourage you to use these tools to maintain control over your gaming experience.
