Responsible Gaming

Gaming Should Be Fun, Not a Financial Solution

At Yepgot.com, we're committed to promoting responsible gaming practices. Online pokies should be enjoyed as entertainment only, never as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. The house always has a mathematical edge, and all outcomes are determined by random chance.

Please gamble only with money you can afford to lose, and set clear limits before you play.

Age Verification

In Australia, you must be at least 18 years of age to participate in online gambling activities. It is illegal for minors to access gambling services.

By using Yepgot.com, you confirm that you are 18 years of age or older and meet all local legal requirements in your jurisdiction.

Parents and guardians: If you're concerned about a young person's gaming habits, contact Gambling Help Online for advice.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

Do you recognise any of these behaviours in yourself or someone you know? Problem gambling can develop without warning. Check yourself against these warning signs:

• Chasing losses: Trying to win back money you've lost by gambling more
• Hiding your gambling: Being secretive about how much time or money you spend gambling
• Neglecting responsibilities: Missing work, school, family time, or other commitments to gamble
• Gambling with money you need: Using rent, bills, food, or loan money to gamble
• Increasing stakes: Needing to bet larger amounts to feel the same excitement
• Loss of control: Being unable to stick to time or money limits you've set
• Mood changes: Becoming irritable, anxious, or depressed when not gambling
• Relationship problems: Arguments with family or friends about your gambling
• Failed attempts to stop: Repeatedly trying and failing to reduce or quit gambling
• Borrowing money to gamble: Taking loans or using credit to fund gambling activities

If you've identified with several of these signs, help is available. Please reach out to a support organisation immediately.

Self-Help Tools & Safer Gambling Features

Take control of your gaming with these responsible gambling tools:

• Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit per day, week, or month. Once reached, you cannot deposit more until the period resets.
• Loss Limits: Set a limit on how much you're willing to lose over a specific period. Gaming will be suspended when you reach this limit.
• Session Time Limits: Set automatic reminders or time-outs that interrupt your gaming session to encourage breaks.
• Reality Checks: Enable pop-up notifications at regular intervals to remind you how long and how much you've been playing.
• Self-Exclusion: Voluntarily ban yourself from accessing your account for a period of time (days, weeks, months, or years). This is a powerful tool if you feel your gambling is out of control.
• Take a Break: Pause your account temporarily without permanently closing it.
