Responsible Gaming
Gaming Should Be Entertainment
At GoProAutomotive, we're committed to promoting responsible gaming practices. Online pokies and gaming should be enjoyed as a form of entertainment only, not as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. Always gamble within your means and set strict limits on time and money spent.
Age Verification
You must be at least 18 years of age (or the applicable legal age in your Australian state or territory) to access and use gaming services. We take age verification seriously and comply with all local regulations. If you're under the legal age, please do not participate in any gaming activities.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
If you recognise any of the following signs in yourself or someone you know, it may be time to seek help:
- Spending more time or money on gaming than intended
- Chasing losses by continuing to gamble to recover money
- Hiding gaming activities or lying about the amount spent
- Gambling to escape problems, stress, or negative emotions
- Neglecting family, work, or other responsibilities due to gaming
- Borrowing money or using credit to fund gaming
- Experiencing anxiety, irritability, or mood changes when unable to game
- Feeling unable to stop or control gaming habits
- Jeopardising relationships or job opportunities because of gambling
Self-Help Tools & Limits
Most responsible gaming operators offer tools to help you maintain control:
- Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you're willing to deposit in a specific timeframe (daily, weekly, or monthly)
- Loss Limits: Set a maximum amount you're comfortable losing within a set period
- Reality Checks: Receive regular reminders about how long you've been playing and how much you've spent
- Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently exclude yourself from gaming accounts and venues
- Session Time Limits: Set automatic time-outs during gaming sessions
Take advantage of these tools when registering with any gaming provider.
