Responsible Gaming
Safe and Balanced Gaming Habits
At Cranbourne Pokies, we want to ensure that you have a fun and entertaining experience while gaming responsibly. It's essential to remember that gambling should not be considered as an income-generating activity but rather as a form of entertainment.
When engaging in online gaming, set realistic expectations about your wins and losses. Understand the risks involved and accept them as part of the game. Never gamble with money you cannot afford to lose or use funds intended for essential expenses like rent/mortgage, groceries, or bills.
Budget and Bankroll Management
Managing your bankroll effectively is crucial in maintaining a balanced gaming experience. We recommend setting aside a specific budget for gaming sessions and sticking to it. It's also vital to keep track of your wins and losses, so you can identify areas where adjustments need to be made.
Consider implementing the following:
- Deposit Limits: Set limits on how much you deposit into your account per day/week/month.
- Loss Limits: Establish a limit for consecutive losses before taking a break or self-excluding from gaming activities.
- Wager Limitations: Define maximum bet amounts to prevent excessive spending.
- Session Limits: Determine the time spent on individual gaming sessions to avoid extended periods of continuous play.
Reality Checks and Time Reminders
To ensure you don't lose track of time, we offer a built-in reality check feature. This tool will prompt you to take regular breaks from gaming activities after extended periods or at specified intervals (e.g., every 60 minutes). Additionally:
- Time-Outs: Activate temporary self-exclusion for short-term relief.
- Cooling-Off Periods: Consider taking a longer break, if needed.
Account Verification and Age Restrictions
We value the security of our players' personal information. To ensure age verification requirements are met:
- We require documentation from government-issued IDs to confirm your identity.
- Ensure you're in compliance with local laws regarding gambling ages (e.g., 18 or above).
Protection of Vulnerable Players
Be aware that certain groups, such as minors and individuals struggling with problem gaming habits, may be more susceptible to harm. If you suspect someone might be experiencing difficulties:
Warning Signs of Problematic Gambling

- Familiarize yourself with any game restrictions on using specific promotions.
