Responsible Gaming

Our Commitment to Responsible Gaming

Entertainment, Not Income

At videoworx.org, we believe gambling should only ever be viewed as entertainment. Pokies and online gaming should never be considered a way to earn money or solve financial problems. Only gamble with money you can afford to lose, and always set a budget before you play.

Age Verification

You must be at least 18 years of age (or the legal gambling age in your state/territory) to use our services. We take age verification seriously and comply with all Australian gambling regulations. If you are under the legal age, please do not attempt to access our gaming services.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

If you experience any of the following, you may be developing a gambling problem:

• Chasing losses by gambling more to win back money you've lost
• Gambling with money needed for essentials (rent, food, bills)
• Hiding your gambling or lying about how much you gamble
• Feeling anxious or irritable when trying to cut down or stop
• Spending more time and money on gambling than intended
• Neglecting family, work, or personal responsibilities due to gambling
• Borrowing money to gamble or pay off gambling debts
• Experiencing mood changes or using gambling to escape problems
• Failed attempts to reduce or control your gambling

Self-Help Tools

We provide several tools to help you maintain control over your gambling:

• Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit within a specified time period
• Loss Limits: Set a maximum amount you're willing to lose in a session or day
• Reality Checks: Receive regular reminders about how long you've been playing and how much you've spent
• Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently exclude yourself from our platform if you need a break from gambling
• Session Time Limits: Set automatic reminders or session cut-offs
