Responsible Gaming
Gaming Should Be Entertainment
At FNL The Show, we believe that online pokies and casino gaming should be enjoyed as a form of entertainment only, not as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. Please gamble responsibly and within your means.
Remember: the house always has an edge. Only spend what you can afford to lose, and never gamble with money needed for essentials like rent, bills, or food.
Age Verification
You must be 18 years of age or older to access and use online gaming services in Australia. By using FNL The Show, you confirm that you are of legal age in your jurisdiction.
We take age verification seriously and reserve the right to request proof of identity at any time.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
If you recognise any of the following signs in yourself or someone you know, it may indicate a gambling problem:
- Chasing losses by gambling more to recover money lost
- Gambling with larger amounts of money than intended
- Being unable to cut back or stop gambling
- Hiding gambling activity or lying about the amount of time and money spent
- Gambling to escape negative emotions, stress, or problems
- Neglecting family, work, or personal responsibilities due to gambling
- Borrowing money or going into debt to fund gambling
- Experiencing mood swings or irritability when not gambling
- Needing to gamble with increasing amounts for the same level of excitement
- Failed attempts to reduce or stop gambling
If you experience any of these signs, please seek help immediately.
Self-Help Tools & Limits
Most reputable online gaming operators offer tools to help you stay in control. These include:
- Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit within a specific time period (daily, weekly, or monthly)
- Loss Limits: Set a maximum amount you're willing to lose during a gaming session
- Reality Checks: Receive periodic reminders of how long you've been playing and how much you've spent
- Session Time Limits: Automatically end your session after a set period
- Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently exclude yourself from accessing gaming sites
Use these tools proactively to maintain control of your gaming habits.
