Responsible Gaming

Gaming Should Be Entertainment

At helen4murray.com, we believe that online gaming should be enjoyed as entertainment only, never as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. While playing PayID pokies can be fun and exciting, it's important to remember that the odds always favour the house in the long run.

Please gamble responsibly and within your means. Set limits that you can afford to lose, and never chase your losses.

Age Verification

You must be at least 18 years of age (or the legal gambling age in your Australian state or territory) to play online pokies or engage in any form of gambling on this website.

If you are under the legal age, please do not proceed. We take underage gambling prevention seriously and comply with all Australian gambling regulations.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

Do you recognise any of these warning signs in your behaviour? If so, please seek help immediately:

• Gambling with money you cannot afford to lose
• Chasing losses by gambling more to win back lost money
• Hiding your gambling from family, friends, or partners
• Gambling for longer periods than intended
• Neglecting work, study, or family responsibilities due to gambling
• Borrowing money to fund gambling activities
• Feeling anxious, irritable, or depressed when not gambling
• Lying about the amount of time or money spent gambling
• Using gambling to escape problems or relieve stress
• Experiencing relationship conflicts due to gambling
• Failed attempts to cut down or stop gambling

Self-Help Tools & Player Protection

Most reputable online gaming platforms offer tools to help you stay in control of your gambling:

• Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit per day, week, or month
• Loss Limits: Restrict the maximum amount you're willing to lose in a given period
• Reality Checks: Receive notifications during play sessions to remind you of time and money spent
• Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently exclude yourself from accessing your gaming account
• Session Time Limits: Set automatic session timeouts to prevent extended play

We encourage you to use these tools as part of your responsible gaming strategy.
