Responsible Gambling

Our Commitment to Responsible Gambling

Wildpokies is committed to providing an entertaining gaming experience while promoting safe and responsible play. We believe gambling should always remain a form of entertainment, not a way to make money or solve financial difficulties. This page outlines the tools and resources available to help you stay in control of your gambling activity, current as of 2026.

Recognising the Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

Problem gambling can affect anyone, regardless of age, income, or background. Common warning signs include spending more time or money than intended, chasing losses, gambling to escape stress or emotional difficulties, neglecting work or relationships, and borrowing money to fund gambling. If you notice these behaviours in yourself or someone close to you, it is important to seek support early.

Deposit Limits

Wildpokies allows players to set deposit limits on their account to help manage spending over daily, weekly, or monthly periods. Once a limit is reached, further deposits will be blocked until the chosen period resets. These limits can be adjusted through your account settings, though reductions typically apply immediately while increases may involve a short cooling-off period.

Time-Out and Cooling-Off Periods

If you feel you need a short break from gambling, you can activate a time-out period on your Wildpokies account. During this time, you will be unable to log in or place any wagers, allowing you space to reassess your gambling habits. Time-outs can typically range from a few days to several weeks, depending on your preference.

Self-Exclusion

For players who need a longer-term solution, self-exclusion allows you to close your Wildpokies account for an extended period or indefinitely. Once self-exclusion is activated, you will not be able to access your account, and all marketing communications will cease. Players considering self-exclusion are encouraged to also reach out to national self-exclusion schemes and support services available in Australia.

Setting Personal Boundaries

Beyond formal tools, we encourage all players to set personal boundaries before they start playing, including a fixed budget and time limit for each session. Avoid gambling when upset, fatigued, or under the influence of alcohol or other substances. Treating gambling strictly as entertainment, rather than a source of income, helps maintain a healthy relationship with online gaming.

Support for Family and Friends

Problem gambling doesn't only affect the individual, it can also impact families, friends, and workplaces. If someone close to you is struggling with their gambling habits, local support organisations often provide guidance and counselling for affected family members as well. Reaching out for support is a sign of strength, not weakness.

Access to Independent Support Organisations

Wildpokies encourages all players to consult local, independent gambling support resources available in Australia for confidential advice, counselling, and assistance. These organisations can provide information on national self-exclusion registers, helplines, and community support services tailored to your location. We recommend searching for accredited responsible gambling organisations relevant to your state or territory.

Age Verification and Underage Gambling Prevention

Wildpokies strictly prohibits access to individuals under the legal gambling age. We employ verification procedures to confirm the identity and age of all registered players. Parents and guardians are encouraged to use parental control software to prevent minors from accessing gambling websites.

Reviewing and Updating This Policy

Our responsible gambling practices are reviewed periodically to reflect evolving industry standards and player needs. This page was last updated in 2026 and may be revised from time to time without prior notice. We encourage players to revisit this page regularly to stay informed of any updates to our tools and resources.
