Responsible Gaming

Introduction

At Canna Help You, we're committed to promoting responsible gaming practices. Gaming should always be viewed as entertainment only, not as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. PayID pokies and online gaming should be enjoyed responsibly and within your means.

Age Verification

Gaming is strictly for individuals aged 18 years or older in Australia. We are committed to preventing underage gambling. If you are under 18, please do not access gaming services on this website. Operators are required by law to verify your age before allowing access to gaming platforms.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

It's important to recognise the signs of problem gambling. If you experience any of the following, please seek help immediately:

• Chasing losses by gambling with more money to recover previous losses
• Lying to family, friends, or professionals about the extent of your gambling
• Gambling with money needed for essential expenses (rent, food, bills)
• Unable to control the amount of time or money spent gambling
• Neglecting work, study, or personal relationships due to gambling
• Feeling anxious, irritable, or restless when unable to gamble
• Using gambling as an escape from stress, anxiety, or depression
• Borrowing money to fund gambling activities
• Failed attempts to reduce or stop gambling
• Thinking constantly about past gambling experiences or planning future sessions

Self-Help Tools

Most gaming platforms offer responsible gaming 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 in a given period
• Reality Checks: Receive regular reminders during gaming sessions to help you stay aware of time and money spent
• Session Limits: Set a maximum time for each gaming session
• Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently exclude yourself from accessing gaming platforms
