Responsible Gaming
Gambling Should Be Entertainment
At eukalypt.org, we are committed to promoting responsible gaming practices. Online pokies and gambling should only ever be viewed as a form of entertainment, not as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. Please gamble within your means and only with money you can afford to lose.
Age Verification
You must be at least 18 years of age (or the legal gambling age in your jurisdiction) to access and use eukalypt.org. We take age verification seriously and comply with all applicable Australian gambling laws and regulations. If you are under the legal age, please do not use our services.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
Please be aware of these warning signs that may indicate a gambling problem:
- Chasing losses by gambling more to recover money you've lost
- Hiding your gambling habits from family, friends, or partners
- Gambling with money intended for essential expenses (rent, bills, food)
- Feeling anxious, irritable, or guilty about your gambling
- Spending more time and money on gambling than intended
- Unable to stop or reduce your gambling despite wanting to
- Borrowing money to fund gambling activities
- Neglecting work, study, or family responsibilities due to gambling
- Using gambling to escape stress, anxiety, or depression
- Lying about the extent of your gambling activities
If you recognise any of these signs in yourself or someone you know, please seek help immediately.
Self-Help Tools & Safer Gambling Features
Many online gambling platforms offer tools to help you maintain control. Consider using these features:
- Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit within a specific timeframe (daily, weekly, or monthly)
- Loss Limits: Set a limit on the amount you're willing to lose in a given period
- Session Time Limits: Set reminders or automatic session cuts after a certain duration
- Reality Checks: Enable pop-up notifications during your gaming session to help you stay aware of time and money spent
- Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently exclude yourself from gambling platforms

These tools are designed to help you gamble more responsibly. Use them proactively.
