Responsible Gaming

Gambling Should Be Entertainment

At Woodruff Group, we believe that online pokies and casino games should be enjoyed as a form of entertainment only. Gambling is not a way to earn money, solve financial problems, or generate income. It should never be viewed as an investment or a reliable source of funds.

We encourage all players to gamble responsibly and within their means. Please only wager money you can afford to lose.

Age Verification

By accessing our site, you confirm that you are:

• At least 18 years of age, or
• At least the legal age for gambling in your Australian state or territory

Gambling is prohibited for persons under the legal age. We take age verification seriously and reserve the right to request proof of age at any time.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

Problem gambling can affect anyone. Please be honest with yourself about your gambling habits. If you experience any of the following signs, seek help immediately:

• Chasing losses: Trying to win back money you've lost by gambling more
• Hiding gambling: Concealing the extent of your gambling from friends or family
• Increasing stakes: Needing to gamble with larger amounts to feel the same excitement
• Loss of control: Being unable to stop gambling or stick to a budget
• Neglecting responsibilities: Gambling instead of attending to work, family, or personal obligations
• Financial problems: Borrowing money or going into debt to fund gambling
• Emotional distress: Feeling anxious, irritable, or depressed when unable to gamble
• Failed attempts to quit: Repeatedly trying and failing to reduce or stop gambling
• Using gambling to escape: Gambling to cope with stress, anxiety, or other problems
• Relationship strain: Conflicts with family or friends due to gambling

If you identify with any of these signs, professional help is available and effective treatment exists.
