Responsible Gaming

Our Commitment to Responsible Gaming

At Cracker Jack Lures Australia, we are committed to promoting responsible gaming practices. Gambling should be enjoyed as entertainment only, never as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. If you choose to play pokies, please do so within your means and always gamble responsibly.

Age Verification

Online gambling in Australia is restricted to individuals who are 18 years of age or older. By accessing our site and participating in any gaming activities, you confirm that you meet this age requirement. If you are under 18, you must not use this website.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

Problem gambling can develop without warning. Please review the following checklist and seek help if you recognise any of these signs:

• Chasing losses by gambling more to recover lost money
• Hiding your gambling activities from family or friends
• Gambling with money needed for essentials like rent, food, or bills
• Feeling anxious or irritable when not gambling
• Spending more time and money on gambling than intended
• Neglecting work, study, or personal relationships due to gambling
• Using gambling to escape problems or negative emotions
• Borrowing money to fund gambling activities
• Failed attempts to control or reduce gambling
• Lying about the extent of your gambling

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

Self-Help Tools & Limits

Most reputable gaming operators offer the following responsible gaming tools. We encourage you to use these features:

• Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit within a specified time period (daily, weekly, or monthly)
• Loss Limits: Set a maximum amount you're willing to lose during a gaming session
• Time Limits: Set automatic session timeouts to remind you when you've been playing for a set period
• Reality Checks: Receive periodic reminders during gameplay about the time elapsed and money spent
• Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently exclude yourself from gaming sites for a period you choose

Take advantage of these tools to maintain control of your gaming habits.
