Responsible Gaming

Gambling Should Be Entertainment

At transformtraining.cc, we believe that gambling should only ever be viewed as a form of entertainment, not as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. Pokies and other casino games are games of chance where the odds always favour the house. Play responsibly, within your means, and only with money you can afford to lose.

Age Verification

In Australia, you must be 18 years of age or older to gamble legally. We take age verification seriously and do not permit access to gambling services by anyone under the legal age limit. If you are under 18, please do not use our services.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

If you recognise any of the following signs in yourself or someone you know, it may be time to seek help:

• Chasing losses by gambling more money to recover what you've lost
• Gambling with money needed for essential expenses (rent, food, utilities, bills)
• Hiding your gambling activity or lying about the amount you spend
• Increasing the amount or frequency of gambling to feel the same excitement
• Feeling anxious or irritable when you try to reduce or stop gambling
• Using gambling to escape from problems, stress, or negative emotions
• Borrowing money to fund gambling activities
• Neglecting work, family, relationships, or other important responsibilities
• Attempting unsuccessfully to control or cut back on gambling
• Experiencing relationship or financial problems as a result of gambling

Self-Help Tools & Player Protection Features

Many online casinos and pokies operators offer tools to help you gamble responsibly. Consider using:

• Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit within a specific time period
• Loss Limits: Set a maximum amount you are willing to lose in a session or time period
• Time Limits: Set reminders or automatic session timeouts to limit playing time
• Reality Checks: Enable pop-up notifications during play to keep you aware of time and money spent
• Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently exclude yourself from gambling services
• Account Cooling-Off: Take a break from gambling by suspending your account

We encourage you to speak with your chosen operator about the tools they offer and to use them proactively to manage your gambling behaviour.
