Responsible Gaming
Gaming Should Be Entertainment
At Red Robyn, we believe that online pokies and casino gaming should be enjoyed as entertainment only. Gambling is not a way to earn money or solve financial problems. It's important to approach gaming with realistic expectations and to play only with money you can afford to lose.
Responsible gaming means understanding the risks, setting limits, and knowing when to stop.
Age Verification
Gaming is strictly for adults only. In Australia, you must be 18 years of age or older to participate in online gambling activities. If you are under the legal age, please do not use our site.
By accessing Red Robyn, you confirm that you are of legal gambling age in your jurisdiction.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
Problem gambling can develop gradually. Please be aware of these warning signs:
- Chasing losses: Continuing to gamble in an attempt to recover money you've lost
- Hiding gambling: Concealing the time or money spent on gambling from friends and family
- Increasing amounts: Needing to gamble with larger sums to achieve the same excitement
- Mood changes: Becoming irritable or anxious when unable to gamble
- Neglecting responsibilities: Prioritising gambling over work, study, or family obligations
- Borrowing money: Taking loans or using credit to fund gambling activities
- Loss of control: Being unable to set or stick to gaming limits
- Lying about gambling: Deceiving others about the extent of your gaming activity
If you recognise any of these signs in yourself or someone you know, help is available.
Self-Help Tools & Limits
Most licensed gaming operators provide tools to help you maintain control:
- Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit within a specified timeframe (daily, weekly, or monthly)
- Loss Limits: Establish a maximum amount you're willing to lose during a session or period
- Reality Checks: Request periodic reminders during play to help you stay aware of time and money spent
- Session Timers: Set automatic alerts or session limits to remind you to take breaks
- Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently exclude yourself from gaming platforms for a period you choose
- Account Closure: Request permanent closure of your gaming account
Use these tools as part of your responsible gaming strategy. Most operators can be contacted directly to implement these settings on your account.
