Responsible Gaming

Gambling Should Be Entertainment Only

At Six Ways Markets, we believe that online pokies and casino gaming should only ever be viewed as a form of entertainment, not as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. Gambling always carries a risk of loss, and you should only ever gamble with money you can afford to lose.

Please gamble responsibly and within your means. If you feel that your gambling is becoming a problem, help and support are available.

Age Verification

You must be at least 18 years of age (or the legal gambling age in your jurisdiction) to access our services and play online pokies. We take age verification seriously and comply with all Australian gambling regulations.

If you are under 18, you must not use this website. Parents and guardians are encouraged to use filtering software to prevent underage access to gambling websites.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

Problem gambling can develop without warning. Ask yourself these questions:

• Do you spend more time or money on gambling than you intended?
• Do you gamble to escape problems, stress, or negative feelings?
• Are you "chasing losses" by gambling more to win back money you've lost?
• Have you hidden your gambling from family, friends, or partners?
• Do you feel anxious or irritable when you try to cut back or stop gambling?
• Have you borrowed money or used credit to fund your gambling?
• Is your gambling affecting your work, studies, or relationships?
• Have others expressed concern about your gambling habits?

If you answered "yes" to any of these questions, you may be experiencing problem gambling and should seek help immediately.

Self-Help Tools & Safer Gambling Features

Most reputable online gaming platforms offer tools to help you maintain control of your gambling:

• Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit within a specified period (daily, weekly, or monthly).
• Loss Limits: Set a limit on how much you're willing to lose during a gaming session.
• Reality Checks: Receive regular reminders about how long you've been playing and how much you've spent.
• Session Time Limits: Automatically end your gaming session after a set period.
• Self-Exclusion: Exclude yourself from gambling for a defined period, preventing access to your account.
• Account Closure: Permanently close your account if you wish to stop gambling.

We encourage you to use these tools proactively to maintain healthy gambling habits.
