Responsible Gaming
Introduction
At ezyboxoffice.com, we believe that gaming should be enjoyed as entertainment only, not as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. While pokies can be fun and exciting, it's important to understand that the odds always favour the house. Please gamble responsibly and only with money you can afford to lose.
Age Verification
Online pokies in Australia are only available to players who are 18 years of age or older. If you are under the legal gambling age in your jurisdiction, you are not permitted to use gaming services on this website. We take age verification seriously and reserve the right to request proof of age at any time.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
Problem gambling can develop gradually. Be aware of these warning signs:
- Gambling more than you intended or for longer periods
- Chasing losses by gambling more to recover money lost
- Hiding your gambling activities from family or friends
- Neglecting work, study, or personal relationships due to gambling
- Borrowing money or using credit to fund gambling
- Feeling anxious, irritable, or restless when not gambling
- Gambling to escape problems, stress, or negative emotions
- Being unable to cut down or stop gambling despite wanting to
- Experiencing financial difficulties or debt
- Lying about the amount of time or money spent gambling
If you recognise any of these signs in yourself or someone you know, help is available.
Self-Help Tools
We provide a range of tools to help you maintain control over your gaming:
- Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you're willing to deposit within a specific timeframe (daily, weekly, or monthly).
- Loss Limits: Set a maximum amount you're willing to lose during a gaming session or time period.
- Reality Checks: Enable pop-up reminders during gaming sessions to help you keep track of time and money spent.
- Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently exclude yourself from accessing our gaming services if you feel you need a break.
- Time-Out: Take a break from gaming for a set period without closing your account permanently.
These tools are designed to help you play safely. We encourage all players to use them proactively.
