Responsible Gaming
Gaming Should Be Entertainment
At chomp.pet, we're committed to promoting responsible gaming practices. Online pokies should be enjoyed as a form of entertainment only, not as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. Please gamble within your means and only with money you can afford to lose.
Age Verification
You must be 18 years of age or older to access and use our website and gaming services in Australia. We are committed to preventing underage gambling and strictly verify all users' ages. If you are under 18, please do not proceed.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
If you recognise any of the following behaviours in yourself or someone you know, it may be time to seek help:
- Chasing losses by gambling more to recover money lost
- Gambling with increasing amounts of money to achieve the same excitement
- Hiding gambling activity or lying about time and money spent gambling
- Neglecting family, friends, work, or study due to gambling
- Experiencing mood swings or irritability when unable to gamble
- Using gambling to escape problems or relieve stress and anxiety
- Borrowing money or getting into debt to fund gambling
- Feeling unable to stop or cut back on gambling despite wanting to
- Experiencing financial, legal, or relationship problems due to gambling
Self-Help Tools & Features
Many Australian online gaming platforms offer built-in tools to help you stay in control:
- Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit within a specified timeframe (daily, weekly, or monthly)
- Loss Limits: Set a maximum amount you're willing to lose within a set period
- Reality Checks: Receive reminders about how long you've been playing and how much you've spent
- Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently exclude yourself from your account to take a break from gambling
- Cooling-Off Periods: Request a mandatory break from gambling for a set duration
We encourage you to use these tools to manage your gaming responsibly.
