Responsible Gambling

Gambling should always be fun and entertainment — never a way to make money or escape problems. This page outlines responsible gambling practices and support resources available to Australian players.

Know Your Limits

Before playing at any online casino, including Uptown Pokies, set clear limits for yourself:

  • Time limits: Decide in advance how long you will play and stick to it.
  • Budget limits: Only gamble with money you can afford to lose. Never chase losses.
  • Emotional check: Avoid gambling when you are stressed, upset, or under the influence of alcohol.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

Seek help if you notice any of the following in yourself or someone you know:

  • Gambling more than intended or beyond your budget
  • Feeling restless or irritable when trying to cut back
  • Borrowing money or selling items to fund gambling
  • Neglecting work, family, or personal responsibilities
  • Lying to others about gambling activity
  • Using gambling to escape negative emotions

Self-Exclusion Tools

Uptown Pokies offers responsible gambling tools including deposit limits, session time limits, and self-exclusion. Contact their support team via live chat to activate these features.
