Responsible Gaming
Gaming Should Be Entertainment, Not Income
At instadatenz.com, we're committed to promoting responsible gaming practices. Online pokies and casino games should only ever be viewed as a form of entertainment, not as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. The house always has a mathematical advantage, and you should only gamble with money you can afford to lose.
Please gamble responsibly and within your means.
Age Verification
You must be at least 18 years of age (or the legal gambling age in your jurisdiction) to access and use our services. We take age verification seriously and reserve the right to request proof of identity.
If you are under the legal gambling age, please do not proceed. Gambling under the legal age is illegal and harmful.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
If you notice any of the following signs in yourself or someone you know, it may indicate a gambling problem:
- Constantly thinking about gambling or past gambling experiences
- Needing to gamble with increasing amounts of money to get the same excitement
- Repeatedly trying to cut back or control gambling without success
- Feeling restless or irritable when attempting to reduce gambling
- Gambling as a way to escape problems or relieve stress
- Chasing losses by returning another day to win back lost money
- Lying to family, friends, or professionals about the extent of gambling
- Jeopardizing relationships, employment, or educational opportunities due to gambling
- Borrowing money to gamble or relying on others to bail you out financially
- Experiencing physical or emotional symptoms when unable to gamble
If you recognize any of these signs, please seek help immediately.
Self-Help Tools & Limit Setting
Most reputable online gaming platforms offer built-in tools to help you maintain control:
- Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you're willing to deposit within a specific timeframe (daily, weekly, or monthly)
- Loss Limits: Establish a maximum amount you're prepared to lose before stopping play
- Reality Checks: Enable pop-up reminders at regular intervals to check how long you've been playing
- Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently exclude yourself from your gaming account when you feel your gambling is becoming problematic
- Session Time Limits: Set automatic session timeouts to prevent extended gambling periods
Take advantage of these tools to keep your gaming experience safe and enjoyable.
