Responsible Gaming
Our Commitment to Responsible Gaming
At greenplanetmowing.com, we believe that online pokies and gambling should be enjoyed as entertainment only, not as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. We are committed to promoting safe and responsible gaming practices for all our visitors.
Age Verification
Online pokies are only available to individuals who are 18 years of age or older in Australia. By accessing gambling content on this website, you confirm that you meet the minimum legal age requirement. If you are under 18, please do not proceed with any gambling activities.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
Problem gambling can develop gradually. If you recognise any of the following signs in yourself or someone you know, seek help immediately:
- Chasing losses by gambling with more money to recover what you've lost
- Gambling with money intended for essential expenses (rent, bills, groceries)
- Hiding gambling activities or lying about the time and money spent gambling
- Neglecting family, work, or personal responsibilities due to gambling
- Feeling anxious, irritable, or restless when trying to cut down or stop gambling
- Borrowing money to fund gambling activities
- Experiencing relationship conflicts due to gambling habits
- Using gambling as a way to escape problems or cope with negative emotions
- Gradually increasing the amount of money wagered to achieve the same excitement
- Unsuccessful attempts to control, cut back, or stop gambling
Self-Help Tools
Many gambling operators and responsible gaming organisations offer tools to help you maintain control:
- Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount of money you're willing to deposit within a specific timeframe
- Loss Limits: Set a maximum amount you're prepared to lose in a gaming session
- Reality Checks: Receive reminders during your gaming session about how long you've been playing and how much you've spent
- Time-Out or Cool-Off Periods: Take a break from gambling for a set period (hours, days, or weeks)
- Self-Exclusion: Voluntarily exclude yourself from gambling platforms for an extended period
Discuss these options with your gambling provider to find tools that work best for you.
