Responsible Gaming
Gaming Should Be Entertainment
At Get Your Hand On One, we believe that online pokies should be enjoyed as a form of entertainment only, not as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. While playing can be fun and exciting, it's important to remember that the odds always favour the house in the long run.
Please gamble responsibly and only with money you can afford to lose.
Age Verification
In Australia, you must be at least 18 years of age (or the legal gambling age in your state or territory) to participate in online pokies and gambling activities.
By accessing this website, you confirm that you meet the legal age requirement for your jurisdiction. We take age verification seriously and reserve the right to request proof of age at any time.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
Do you recognise any of these warning signs? If so, problem gambling may be affecting you or someone you know:
- Spending more time or money on gambling than intended
- Chasing losses by gambling more to try to win money back
- Hiding gambling activity or lying about the amount spent
- Neglecting family, work, or other responsibilities due to gambling
- Feeling anxious, depressed, or irritable when not gambling
- Borrowing money or using credit to fund gambling
- Experiencing relationship conflicts related to gambling habits
- Unsuccessful attempts to cut back or stop gambling
- Using gambling as an escape from problems or negative emotions
- Needing to gamble with increasing amounts of money to achieve the same excitement
If you've ticked any of these boxes, help is available.
