Responsible Gaming

Gaming Should Be Entertainment

At 33dunning.com, we're committed to promoting responsible gaming practices. Pokies and online gaming should be enjoyed as a form of entertainment only, not as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. Only gamble with money you can afford to lose, and always set limits on your time and spending.

Age Verification

You must be 18 years of age or older to access and use 33dunning.com. In Australia, this is the legal minimum age for gambling. By accessing our site, you confirm that you meet this requirement and comply with all local laws and regulations in your jurisdiction.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

If you recognise any of the following signs in yourself or someone you know, help is available:

• Chasing losses by gambling more to recover money lost
• Hiding or lying about the amount of time or money spent gambling
• Being unable to stick to set limits on time or money
• Gambling to escape problems, stress, or negative emotions

• Failed attempts to cut back or stop gambling
• Feeling anxious or restless when not gambling

Self-Help Tools & Controls

Most reputable gaming platforms offer built-in tools to help you gamble responsibly:

• Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit in a specified timeframe (daily, weekly, or monthly)
• Loss Limits: Set a maximum amount you're willing to lose in a session or timeframe
• Time Limits: Set session time limits to remind you when you've been playing for a set duration
• Reality Checks: Pop-up reminders that display your time and money spent during a session
• Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently exclude yourself from accessing gaming platforms

Use these tools to maintain control and ensure gaming remains fun and within your means.
