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.

- 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

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