Responsible Gaming

Gaming Should Be Entertainment

At Dream Life PT, 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 pokies can be fun and exciting, it's important to understand 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

Online pokies in Australia are only available to players who are 18 years of age or older. It is illegal for anyone under 18 to gamble online or access pokie venues.

Dream Life PT is committed to ensuring all players meet the legal age requirement. We use strict verification processes to prevent underage gambling.

If you are under 18, please do not attempt to access our services.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

Problem gambling can develop gradually. If you experience any of the following signs, you may have a gambling problem:

• Spending more time and money on gambling than intended
• Chasing losses by gambling more to recover money you've lost
• Hiding your gambling activities or lying about how much you gamble
• Borrowing money to fund your gambling
• Feeling anxious or irritable when trying to reduce gambling
• Neglecting family, work, or other important responsibilities due to gambling
• Using gambling as a way to escape problems or stress
• Continuing to gamble despite negative financial or personal consequences
• Unsuccessful attempts to cut back or stop gambling
• Experiencing mood swings or depression related to gambling outcomes

If you recognise any of these warning signs in yourself or someone else, please reach out for help immediately.

Self-Help Tools & Features

Most Australian online pokie operators offer tools to help you maintain control of your gambling. These include:

• Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you're willing to deposit within a specific timeframe (daily, weekly, or monthly)
• Loss Limits: Set a maximum amount of losses you're willing to accept before stopping play
• Time Limits: Set reminders or automatic session timeouts to limit how long you play
• Reality Checks: Receive periodic notifications during your gaming session to keep you aware of time and money spent
• Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently ban yourself from accessing your account and all affiliated sites
• Account Closure: Permanently close your account if you wish to stop gambling

We encourage you to use these tools proactively if you feel your gambling may be getting out of control.
