Responsible Gaming

Introduction

At eeceremonies.com, we believe that gaming should be enjoyed as entertainment only. Online pokies and casino games are games of chance designed for fun, not as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. We encourage all players to gamble responsibly and within their means.

Age Verification

You must be at least 18 years of age (or the legal age for gambling in your state or territory) to access and use our services. It is illegal for minors to gamble in Australia. If you are under the legal age, please do not proceed.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

If you experience any of the following, you may be developing a gambling problem:

• Gambling with money you cannot afford to lose
• Chasing losses by gambling more to recover money lost
• Hiding gambling activities or lying about the amount spent
• Neglecting family, work, or personal responsibilities due to gambling
• Experiencing anxiety, stress, or mood changes related to gambling
• Needing to gamble with increasing amounts of money for the same excitement
• Failed attempts to reduce or stop gambling
• Using gambling to escape problems or negative emotions
• Borrowing money to gamble
• Friends or family expressing concern about your gambling

Self-Help Tools

We provide tools to help you maintain control of your gaming:

• Deposit Limits: Set daily, weekly, or monthly limits on how much you can deposit
• Loss Limits: Set a maximum amount you are willing to lose in a gaming session
• Reality Checks: Receive regular reminders about your gaming session duration and spending
• Self-Exclusion: Voluntarily exclude yourself from gaming for a period you choose
• Account Closure: Permanently close your account if you wish to stop gambling
