Responsible Gaming
Gaming Should Be Entertainment
At Blazing Saddles Chilli Plants, we're committed to promoting responsible gaming practices. Online pokies should be enjoyed as a form of entertainment only – never as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. Please gamble within your means and only with money you can afford to lose.
Age Verification
In Australia, you must be 18 years of age or older to participate in online gambling activities. We take age verification seriously and conduct checks to ensure all players meet the legal requirements in their jurisdiction.
If you are under 18, please do not attempt to access gambling services on this website.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
If you experience any of the following, you may be developing a gambling problem:
- Spending more time or money gambling than intended
- Chasing losses by gambling more to try to recover money lost
- Hiding gambling activities or lying about the amount you gamble
- Neglecting family, friends, work, or study due to gambling
- Feeling anxious, irritable, or depressed when not gambling
- Borrowing money to fund gambling activities
- Using gambling as an escape from stress or emotional problems
- Unsuccessful attempts to cut back or stop gambling
- Experiencing financial difficulties due to gambling
- Jeopardizing relationships or job opportunities because of gambling
If you recognise any of these signs in yourself, please seek help immediately.
Self-Help Tools & Limits
Many online gambling platforms offer tools to help you maintain control:
- Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit within a specific time period (daily, weekly, or monthly)
- Loss Limits: Cap the amount you're willing to lose during a gaming session
- Reality Checks: Receive periodic reminders of how long you've been playing and how much you've spent
- Session Time Limits: Set automatic session timers to remind you when to take a break
- Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently exclude yourself from accessing gambling services
We encourage you to use these tools to maintain control over your gaming activity.
