Responsible Gaming

Gaming Should Be Entertainment

Online pokies and casino games should only be viewed as entertainment, not as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. While gaming can be enjoyable, it's important to understand that the house always has a mathematical advantage. Play only with money you can afford to lose, and set realistic expectations about outcomes.

Age Verification

Online gaming in Australia is restricted to individuals aged 18 years or older (or the legal gambling age in your state or territory). By accessing gaming services through radiowithpictures.com.au, you confirm that you are of legal age to gamble in your jurisdiction.

If you are under 18, please do not use gaming services. Parents and guardians should monitor and restrict underage access to gambling websites.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

Problem gambling can develop gradually. Be aware of these warning signs:

• Chasing losses by gambling more to recover lost money
• Hiding gambling activity from family, friends, or partners
• Spending more time or money on gambling than intended
• Neglecting work, study, or family responsibilities due to gambling
• Feeling anxious or irritable when unable to gamble
• Borrowing money or using savings to fund gambling
• Lying about gambling activity or the amount spent
• Using gambling to escape problems, stress, or negative emotions
• Failed attempts to reduce or control gambling
• Experiencing relationship or financial problems related to gambling

If you recognise any of these signs in yourself or someone you know, seek help immediately.

Self-Help Tools & Responsible Gaming Features

Many gaming operators offer tools to help you maintain control:

• Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit within a specific timeframe (daily, weekly, or monthly)
• Loss Limits: Set a maximum amount you're willing to lose over a given period
• Reality Checks: Receive notifications during gaming sessions to remind you of time spent and money wagered
• Time Limits: Set automatic session timeouts to prevent extended play
• Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently exclude yourself from gaming services
• Account Cooling-Off: Take a break from your account for a set period

Use these tools proactively to maintain responsible gaming habits.
