Responsible Gaming
Our Commitment to Safe Gaming
At The Darling Sisters, we're committed to promoting responsible gaming practices. Online pokies and casino games should be enjoyed purely as entertainment, never as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. We encourage all our players to gamble responsibly and within their means.
Age Verification
You must be at least 18 years of age (or the legal age for gambling in your state) to access and use our services. We take age verification seriously and comply with all Australian gambling regulations. By accessing this site, you confirm that you meet these age requirements.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
If you recognise any of the following signs, you may be developing a gambling problem:
- Gambling with money you can't afford to lose
- Chasing losses by gambling more to recover money lost
- Hiding your gambling from family, friends, or partners
- Neglecting work, school, or family responsibilities due to gambling
- Gambling to escape problems or relieve stress and anxiety
- Unable to stop or reduce gambling despite wanting to
- Borrowing money or going into debt to fund gambling
- Lying about the time or money spent gambling
- Losing interest in hobbies and social activities outside of gambling
- Experiencing mood swings or irritability when not gambling
Self-Help Tools
We provide several tools to help you maintain control of your gaming:
- Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit within a specified time period (daily, weekly, or monthly)
- Loss Limits: Restrict the maximum amount you're willing to lose during a gaming session
- Reality Checks: Receive periodic reminders about how long you've been playing and how much you've spent
- Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently exclude yourself from your account, preventing access for a set period
- Session Time Limits: Set automatic logout timers to control your playing duration
