Responsible Gaming

Gaming Should Be Fun, Not a Financial Solution

At Get Your Hand On One, we believe that online pokies should be enjoyed as entertainment only. Gaming should never be viewed as a way to make money, pay bills, or solve financial problems. The house always has an edge, and the outcome of every game is determined by chance.

Please gamble responsibly and only with money you can afford to lose.

Age Verification

Online gaming in Australia is only available to persons aged 18 years and over. It is your responsibility to ensure you meet the legal age requirement in your jurisdiction before participating in any gaming activities.

If you are under 18, please do not use this website or engage in online gambling.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

Problem gambling can develop gradually. If you recognize any of these warning signs in yourself or someone you know, it may be time to seek help:

• Spending more time and money on gambling than intended
• Chasing losses by gambling more to recover money lost
• Hiding gambling activities or lying about the amount spent
• Neglecting family, work, or other responsibilities due to gambling
• Using gambling to escape problems, stress, or negative feelings
• Borrowing money or getting into debt to fund gambling
• Experiencing mood swings or becoming irritable when unable to gamble
• Failed attempts to reduce or stop gambling
• Gambling with increasing amounts to achieve the same excitement
• Feeling anxious or depressed when not gambling

If any of these signs apply to you, please reach out for support immediately.

Self-Help Tools & Features

Most reputable online gaming platforms offer tools to help you maintain control. Consider using these features:

• Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you're willing to spend per day, week, or month
• Loss Limits: Restrict the maximum amount you're prepared to lose in a gaming session
• Reality Checks: Enable pop-up reminders at regular intervals showing how long you've been gaming and how much you've spent
• Session Time Limits: Set automatic timeouts to prevent extended gaming sessions
• Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently exclude yourself from gaming platforms if you feel your gambling is becoming problematic
• Account Closure: Close your account entirely if you need to stop gaming

Using these tools is a sign of strength and responsibility, not weakness.
