Responsible Gaming
Gaming Should Be Entertainment
At ezyboxoffice.com, we believe that online gaming and pokies should be enjoyed purely as entertainment. It is important to understand that gambling is not a reliable way to earn money or solve financial problems. Always gamble responsibly and only with money you can afford to lose.
Age Verification
In Australia, you must be at least 18 years of age to participate in online gambling and pokies. We take age verification seriously and reserve the right to request proof of identity at any time. If you are under the legal gambling age, please do not use our services.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
If you experience any of the following, you may have a gambling problem. Please seek help:
- Constantly thinking about gambling or planning your next gambling session
- Needing to gamble with increasing amounts of money to achieve the same excitement
- Repeatedly trying to cut back or stop gambling without success
- Chasing losses by gambling more to recover money you've lost
- Hiding your gambling activities from family, friends, or professionals
- Using gambling to escape problems or relieve stress, anxiety, or depression
- Gambling even when you cannot afford to lose
- Borrowing money or going into debt to fund gambling
- Neglecting work, study, relationships, or personal responsibilities due to gambling
- Experiencing mood swings or irritability when unable to gamble
- Lying about the amount of time or money spent on gambling
Self-Help Tools & Safeguards
Most reputable online gaming platforms offer tools to help you maintain control of your gambling:
- Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit within a specific timeframe (daily, weekly, monthly)
- Loss Limits: Establish a maximum amount you're willing to lose during a session or period
- Reality Checks: Enable reminders that pop up during your gaming sessions to help you track time and spending
- Session Time Limits: Set automatic timeouts to interrupt prolonged gaming sessions
