Responsible Gaming

Gaming Should Be Entertainment

At KPS Cleaners, we believe that gaming should be enjoyed as a form of entertainment only, not as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. Playing pokies should be fun and within your means. If you find yourself gambling to make money or recover losses, it's time to seek help.

Remember: The house always has an edge. Only gamble with money you can afford to lose.

Age Verification

Pokies and gambling services in Australia are strictly for persons aged 18 years and over. By accessing any gambling platform linked from this website, you confirm that you are of legal age to gamble in your state or territory.

If you are under 18, or if you are aware of minors accessing gambling services, please report this immediately to your local authorities or the relevant gaming regulator in your state.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

Do you recognise any of these warning signs in yourself or someone you know?

• Chasing losses: Continuing to gamble to recover money you've lost
• Hiding gambling: Concealing the amount of time or money spent gambling
• Loss of control: Being unable to stick to limits you've set
• Neglecting responsibilities: Prioritising gambling over work, family, or personal commitments
• Gambling with borrowed money: Using credit cards, loans, or borrowed funds to gamble
• Mood changes: Becoming irritable or anxious when unable to gamble
• Relationship strain: Gambling causing conflict with family or friends
• Financial hardship: Experiencing debt or financial difficulties due to gambling
• Escalating stakes: Needing to gamble larger amounts to get the same excitement
• Failed attempts to quit: Repeatedly trying and failing to reduce or stop gambling

If you tick more than one of these boxes, problem gambling may be affecting your life. Please seek help today.

Self-Help Tools & Safer Gaming Features

Most responsible gaming operators offer tools to help you maintain control:

• Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit within a specific timeframe (daily, weekly, or monthly)
• Loss Limits: Set a maximum amount you're willing to lose during a gaming session
• Time Limits: Restrict how long you can play in a single session
• Reality Checks: Receive regular reminders of how long you've been playing and how much you've spent
• Self-Exclusion: Voluntarily exclude yourself from gambling services for a set period (days, months, or years)
• Account Cooling-Off: Take a break from gambling for a temporary period

Always use these tools if available, and be honest with yourself about your limits.
