Responsible Gaming

Entertainment, Not Income

Online pokies and casino games should be enjoyed as entertainment only. Gambling is not a reliable way to earn money or solve financial problems. Always gamble within your means and only with money you can afford to lose. Remember that the odds are always in favour of the house, and outcomes are determined by chance.

Age Verification

You must be at least 18 years of age to access and use online gambling services in Australia. It is your responsibility to verify that you meet the legal age requirement in your jurisdiction before participating in any gambling activities on mediasync.cc.

If you are under the legal age, please do not access our services. Underage gambling is illegal and can cause serious harm.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

Do any of these apply to you? If so, you may be developing a gambling problem:

• Chasing losses by gambling more to try to recover money you've lost
• Gambling with larger amounts of money than intended
• Hiding your gambling from family, friends, or partners
• Feeling anxious or irritable when not gambling
• Neglecting work, study, family, or other responsibilities due to gambling
• Borrowing money to gamble or pay off gambling debts
• Lying about the amount of time or money spent gambling
• Gambling as a way to escape problems or relieve stress
• Failed attempts to cut back or stop gambling
• Experiencing relationship conflicts because of your gambling

If you recognise any of these warning signs, seek help immediately.

Self-Help Tools & Safer Gambling Features

Most responsible online casinos offer tools to help you maintain control:

• Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit in a specified timeframe (daily, weekly, or monthly)
• Loss Limits: Limit the amount of money you are willing to lose during a session
• Session Time Limits: Set a maximum duration for your gambling sessions
• Reality Checks: Receive periodic reminders during gameplay about how much time and money you've spent
• Self-Exclusion: Voluntarily exclude yourself from gambling for a set period (days, weeks, months, or years)
• Account Closure: Permanently close your account if you choose to stop gambling

Use these tools proactively to maintain healthy gambling habits.
