Responsible Gaming
Gaming Should Be Fun, Not Financial
At Super Cheap Windscreens Melbourne, we believe gaming should be enjoyed as entertainment only. It should never be considered a way to earn money or solve financial problems. Pay ID pokies and online gaming are games of chance designed purely for enjoyment. Always gamble within your means and never chase losses.
Age Verification
Gaming is restricted to adults aged 18 years or older in Australia. If you are under 18, you must not participate in any form of gambling. It is your responsibility to comply with local laws and regulations.
Parents and guardians: Please monitor your children's internet use and speak to them about the risks of gambling.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
Do any of these apply to you? If so, you may have a gambling problem:
- Chasing losses by gambling more to recover money you've lost
- Gambling with money needed for essential expenses (rent, food, utilities)
- Hiding your gambling activities from family, friends, or partners
- Feeling anxious, irritable, or restless when not gambling
- Spending more time or money on gambling than intended
- Lying about the amount of time or money spent gambling
- Borrowing money or going into debt to fund gambling
- Neglecting work, study, or family responsibilities due to gambling
- Unsuccessful attempts to cut back or stop gambling
- Using gambling to escape problems or negative emotions
If you recognise any of these signs in yourself or someone else, seek help immediately.
Self-Help Tools & Player Protections
Most reputable gaming operators offer the following protective features:
- Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you're willing to spend per day, week, or month
- Loss Limits: Set a maximum loss threshold to protect your bankroll
- Reality Checks: Enable reminders to check how long you've been playing and how much you've spent
- Self-Exclusion: Voluntarily exclude yourself from gaming platforms for a set period or permanently
- Session Time Limits: Automatically end your session after a specified period
- Account Restrictions: Request operators freeze or close your account
Use these tools proactively. They are designed to help you maintain control and gamble responsibly.
