Responsible Gaming
Our Commitment to You
At Surf N Body, we are committed to promoting responsible gambling. Gambling should be enjoyed as entertainment only, never as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. If you choose to play pokies online, please do so responsibly and within your means.
Age Verification
In Australia, you must be at least 18 years of age to gamble legally. We take age verification seriously and require all users to confirm they meet the legal minimum age requirement before accessing any gambling services. If you are under 18, please do not attempt to use our services.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
Problem gambling can develop gradually. If you recognise any of the following signs in yourself or someone you know, it may be time to seek help:
- Spending more time or money on gambling than intended
- Chasing losses by gambling more to try to recover lost money
- Hiding gambling activity or lying about the amount spent
- Gambling to escape problems, stress, or negative emotions
- Neglecting work, study, family, or social relationships due to gambling
- Borrowing money to gamble or pay gambling debts
- Feeling anxious, irritable, or restless when trying to reduce gambling
- Unsuccessful attempts to cut back or stop gambling
- Gambling with money needed for essential expenses
- Feeling a need to gamble with increasing amounts for excitement
Self-Help Tools
Most responsible gambling operators offer tools to help you maintain control. These may include:
- Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit within a specified time period
- Loss Limits: Set a limit on losses you are willing to accept
- Session Time Limits: Set a maximum duration for each gambling session
- Reality Checks: Receive periodic reminders about how long you've been gambling
- Self-Exclusion: Take a break from gambling for a set period or permanently
Always use these tools to help maintain control of your gambling activities.
