Responsible Gaming

Introduction

At ccjsasoccer.com.au, we believe that gaming should be enjoyed as entertainment only, not as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. Pokies and online gaming are games of chance designed for fun, and the odds always favor the house. Please gamble responsibly and only spend what you can afford to lose.

Age Verification

Online pokies in Australia are strictly regulated and available only to players aged 18 years and over. By accessing our site, you confirm that you are of legal age to gamble in your jurisdiction. If you are under 18, please do not participate in any gaming activities.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

If you notice any of the following signs in yourself or someone else, it may indicate a problem with gambling:

• Spending more money or time gambling than intended
• Chasing losses by gambling more to recover money lost
• Hiding gambling activities or lying about the amount wagered
• Borrowing money to fund gambling
• Feeling anxious, irritable, or restless when not gambling
• Neglecting family, work, or personal responsibilities due to gambling
• Using gambling as a way to escape problems or negative emotions
• Unsuccessful attempts to cut back or stop gambling
• Experiencing financial difficulties or debt related to gambling
• Relationship problems caused by gambling behavior

Self-Help Tools

Most Australian online gaming platforms offer responsible gaming tools to help you stay in control:

• Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit within a specific time period (daily, weekly, or monthly)
• Loss Limits: Set a maximum amount you are willing to lose in a given timeframe
• Reality Checks: Receive pop-up reminders about how long you have been playing and how much you have spent
• Self-Exclusion: Voluntarily exclude yourself from gaming platforms for a period you choose (ranging from days to years)
• Session Time Limits: Set automatic timeouts after a predetermined gaming session duration

We encourage you to use these tools to maintain control over your gaming activities.
