Responsible Gaming

Our Commitment to Responsible Gaming

At PokieSurf Casino, we're committed to providing a safe and enjoyable gaming environment. Gambling should be viewed as entertainment only, not as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. We encourage all players to gamble responsibly and within their means.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

Problem gambling can develop gradually. If you recognize any of the following warning signs in yourself or someone you know, it may be time to seek help:

• Constantly thinking about gambling or past gambling experiences
• Needing to gamble with increasing amounts of money to achieve the same level of excitement
• Repeatedly trying to control, cut back, or stop gambling without success
• Feeling restless or irritable when attempting to reduce or stop gambling
• Gambling as a way to escape problems or relieve negative emotions
• Chasing losses by gambling more to recover money lost
• Lying to family, friends, or others about the extent of gambling involvement
• Jeopardizing or losing important relationships, education, or career opportunities due to gambling
• Relying on others to provide money to cover gambling losses
• Borrowing money or accumulating debt because of gambling
• Spending more money than originally intended

Self-Help Tools

We provide several tools to help you maintain control of your gambling:

• Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you're willing to deposit per day, week, or month
• Loss Limits: Set a maximum amount you're willing to lose during a session
• Reality Checks: Receive periodic reminders of how long you've been playing and how much you've spent
• Session Time Limits: Set automatic session timeouts to prevent extended play
• Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently exclude yourself from your account
• Account Closure: Close your account permanently if you wish

These tools are available in your account settings. We encourage you to use them proactively to manage your gaming experience.
