Responsible Gaming

Responsible Gambling

At Yarraville Pokies, we are committed to promoting safe and balanced gaming habits among our players. We believe that responsible gaming is a shared responsibility between us and our customers.

Safe and Balanced Gaming Habits

Gambling should be treated as entertainment rather than a way to make money. It's essential to understand the odds of winning and losing and set realistic expectations about your chances of success. A balanced approach involves setting limits on both winnings and losses, ensuring that you don't bet more than you can afford.

Budget and Bankroll Management

Effective budgeting is crucial for maintaining responsible gaming habits. Set aside a specific amount each month for entertainment purposes only. Within this limit, allocate funds for different activities, including gambling. Remember to consider other financial commitments when setting your budget.

  • Allocate separate bank accounts or funding sources for deposits, ensuring easy tracking and management of expenses.
  • Regularly review spending habits to prevent overspending on non-essential items.

Deposit, Loss, Wager, and Session Limits

Implementing deposit limits helps prevent excessive spending. Set realistic targets that align with your available funds. We offer the following deposit limit options:

  1. Low - Up to $100
  2. Moderate - Between $101 to $1,000
  3. High - Above $1,000 and up to $5,000

Limit your losses by setting a maximum amount you can afford to lose each gaming session. This will prevent significant financial strain in case of a losing streak.

For sessions exceeding 60 minutes, we recommend taking regular breaks (every 30-60 minutes) with at least 15-minute intervals free from betting or gaming activities. Monitor your progress and consider adjusting these limits as necessary.

Reality Checks

Reality checks provide real-time insights into the time spent playing games. When enabled within our platform tools:

  • You will receive a reminder after one hour of uninterrupted play
  • This warning encourages you to take regular breaks, helping prevent over-immersion and maintaining balanced gaming habits
