Responsible Gambling

Our Commitment to Safe Play

This website is committed to promoting responsible gambling. While online pokies and casino games are a form of entertainment enjoyed by millions of Australians, they carry inherent risks. We encourage all players to approach gambling with awareness, set limits, and seek help if needed.

Know the Signs of Problem Gambling

Problem gambling can affect anyone. Common signs include:

  • Spending more money or time gambling than intended
  • Chasing losses or feeling the need to bet larger amounts
  • Gambling to escape stress, anxiety, or personal problems
  • Lying to family or friends about gambling activity
  • Neglecting work, relationships, or financial obligations due to gambling
  • Feeling restless or irritable when trying to cut back

If you recognise any of these patterns in yourself or someone you know, please seek help immediately.

Responsible Gambling Tools

Uptown Pokies and other reputable online casinos offer tools to help players stay in control:

  • Deposit Limits: Set daily, weekly, or monthly deposit caps
  • Session Time Limits: Receive alerts after a set period of play
  • Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently close your casino account
  • Reality Checks: Periodic on-screen reminders of time and money spent
  • Cool-Off Periods: Take a break from gambling for a set duration

To access these tools, log into your Uptown Pokies account and navigate to the Responsible Gaming section, or contact their live chat support.

Under 18 Policy

Online gambling is strictly for adults aged 18 and over. We do not knowingly promote gambling services to minors. If you are under 18, please leave this site immediately. If you are a parent or guardian, consider using parental controls to block access to gambling sites.

Gambling Is Not a Solution

Online casino games are designed for entertainment. The mathematical house edge means that over time, players lose more than they win. Never gamble as a way to earn money, pay debts, or escape personal problems. Set strict budgets and only gamble what you can genuinely afford to lose.
