Responsible Gaming

Gaming Should Be Entertainment

At beforeim6feetunder.com, we believe that online pokies should be enjoyed as a form of entertainment only. Gambling is never a reliable way to earn money or solve financial problems. Play only with money you can afford to lose, and always set strict limits on your time and spending.

Age Verification

You must be 18 years of age or older to access and use beforeim6feetunder.com. This is a legal requirement in Australia. We are committed to preventing underage gambling and protecting young people from potential harm.

If you are under 18, please do not use this website. Parents and guardians are encouraged to discuss responsible gaming with young people in their care.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

Please be honest with yourself. If you experience any of the following warning signs, you may be developing a gambling problem:

• Chasing losses by gambling more to recover money you've lost
• Hiding your gambling activities or lying about how much you gamble
• Gambling with money needed for essentials (rent, food, bills, medication)
• Feeling anxious, irritable, or restless when you're not gambling
• Gambling for longer periods or with larger amounts than intended
• Neglecting family, friends, work, or study due to gambling
• Using gambling to escape stress, anxiety, depression, or other emotional problems
• Borrowing money or getting into debt to fund gambling
• Failed attempts to cut down or stop gambling
• Risking or losing important relationships, jobs, or opportunities because of gambling

If you recognize yourself in these signs, it's important to seek help immediately.

Self-Help Tools & Controls

• Deposit Limits: Set a daily, weekly, or monthly limit on the amount of money you deposit. Once the limit is reached, you cannot deposit further funds until the period resets.
• Loss Limits: Set a limit on the maximum amount of money you are willing to lose in a given timeframe.
• Reality Checks: Enable regular reminders during your gaming sessions to help you stay aware of how long you've been playing and how much you've spent.
• Self-Exclusion: If you feel you cannot control your gambling, you can self-exclude from beforeim6feetunder.com for a minimum period. During this time, you will not be able to access your account or place bets.
