Responsible Gaming

Gaming Should Be Entertainment

At Cola Clear Drinks, we believe that online pokies and gaming should be enjoyed as a form of entertainment only, not as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. While gaming can be fun and exciting, it's important to play responsibly and within your means.

Please remember: the house always has an edge, and outcomes are determined by chance. Never gamble with money you cannot afford to lose.

Age Verification

Online pokies in Australia are only available to players aged 18 years or over. We strictly prohibit access to anyone under the legal age limit.

If you are under 18, please do not attempt to register or play. Operators are required by law to verify age and identity before allowing access to gaming services.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

Problem gambling can affect anyone. Be aware of these warning signs:

• Spending more time and money on gaming than intended
• Chasing losses by gambling more to recover lost money
• Hiding gambling activity from family, friends, or partners
• Borrowing money to fund gaming activities
• Neglecting work, study, or family responsibilities
• Experiencing mood swings or irritability when unable to play
• Unsuccessful attempts to reduce or stop gaming
• Using gaming to escape problems or negative feelings
• Lying about the amount of time or money spent on gaming
• Experiencing financial difficulties due to gaming

If you recognize any of these signs in yourself or someone you know, help is available.

Self-Help Tools & Controls

Most responsible gaming operators provide 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 before stopping play
• Time Limits: Set automatic reminders or session limits to prevent extended play
• Reality Checks: Enable pop-up notifications that remind you how long you've been playing and how much you've wagered
• Self-Exclusion: Take a temporary or permanent break from gaming by requesting an exclusion period

These tools are designed to help you stay in control. Use them proactively to enjoy gaming responsibly.
