Responsible Gaming

About Responsible Gaming

At Emma Beau, we believe that online pokies and casino gaming should be enjoyed purely as entertainment. Gaming should never be viewed as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. It's important to gamble only with money you can afford to lose and to set strict limits on your time and spending.

We are committed to promoting responsible gaming practices and providing resources to support your wellbeing.

Age Verification

Online pokies in Australia are strictly regulated and available only to persons aged 18 years and over. By accessing our website, you confirm that you are of legal gambling age in your jurisdiction.

If you are under 18, please do not use our services. Parents and guardians are encouraged to use content filtering software to prevent underage access to gambling websites.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

Problem gambling can develop quickly. Please be aware of these warning signs:

  • Chasing losses by gambling more to recover money lost
  • Gambling with money needed for bills, rent, or essentials
  • Lying to family, friends, or healthcare providers about gambling habits
  • Neglecting work, school, or family responsibilities due to gambling
  • Feeling anxious, irritable, or restless when trying to reduce gambling
  • Constantly thinking about gambling or previous gambling experiences
  • Needing to gamble with increasing amounts of money to achieve excitement
  • Unsuccessful attempts to cut back or control gambling
  • Using gambling to escape problems or relieve stress
  • Borrowing money or accumulating debt to finance gambling

If you recognise any of these signs in your own behaviour, please reach out for help immediately.

Self-Help Tools & Features

Most reputable online gaming platforms offer tools to help you maintain control:

  • Deposit Limits: Set daily, weekly, or monthly limits on how much you can deposit
  • Loss Limits: Establish maximum loss amounts to prevent chasing losses
  • Reality Checks: Receive periodic notifications reminding you of your playing time and money spent
  • Session Time Limits: Automatically end your gaming session after a set period
  • Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently exclude yourself from your account

We encourage you to actively use these tools if they are available on your chosen gaming platform.
