Responsible Gaming
Our Commitment to Responsible Gaming
At KPS Caff, we are committed to promoting responsible gaming practices. Online pokies should be enjoyed as entertainment only, never as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. If you choose to play, please do so within your means and set limits that work for your budget.
Age Verification
Online gambling in Australia is strictly limited to players aged 18 years and over. By accessing any online pokies platform, you confirm that you are at least 18 years of age and meet all legal requirements to gamble in your jurisdiction. If you are under the legal gambling age, please do not proceed.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
Problem gambling can develop without warning. Please be aware of these warning signs:
- Chasing losses – continuing to play to recover money you've lost
- Gambling with money you cannot afford to lose
- Hiding your gambling activity from family, friends, or partners
- Neglecting work, study, family, or personal responsibilities due to gambling
- Feeling anxious or irritable when you're not gambling
- Gambling for longer periods than intended
- Borrowing money to gamble or pay gambling debts
- Lying about the amount of time or money spent gambling
- Experiencing mood swings related to wins or losses
- Using gambling to escape stress, anxiety, or other problems
If you recognise any of these signs in yourself or someone you know, it's important to seek help immediately.
Self-Help Tools and Limits
Most reputable online pokies platforms offer the following responsible gaming tools. We encourage you to use them:
- Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit within a specific time period (daily, weekly, or monthly)
- Loss Limits: Set a maximum amount you're willing to lose before stopping play
- Betting Limits: Control the maximum bet size for each spin
- Reality Checks: Receive regular reminders about how long you've been playing and how much you've spent
- Session Time Limits: Automatically log out after a set period of play
- Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently exclude yourself from gambling platforms
Always take advantage of these tools to keep your gaming under control.
