Responsible Gaming
Introduction
At xfutureslab.com, we believe that online pokies should be enjoyed as entertainment only. Gambling should never be viewed as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. It's important to play within your means and maintain a healthy balance between gaming and other aspects of your life.
Remember: the house always has an edge. Play for fun, not for profit.
Age Verification
All players must be at least 18 years of age or the legal gambling age in their respective Australian jurisdiction to use our services. We are committed to preventing underage gambling and take age verification seriously.
If you are under the legal age, we strongly encourage you not to gamble.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
Do you recognise any of these warning signs in your behaviour? If so, 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 money
- Hiding your gambling activities from family or friends
- Feeling anxious or irritable when not gambling
- Using gambling to escape stress, anxiety, or depression
- Borrowing money to gamble or pay off gambling debts
- Neglecting work, school, or personal relationships due to gambling
- Experiencing financial difficulties as a result of gambling
- Lying about the amount of time or money spent gambling
- Failed attempts to reduce or stop gambling
If any of these apply to you, please reach out for support immediately.
Self-Help Tools
We provide several tools to help you maintain control over your gaming:
- Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you're willing to deposit within a specified period (daily, weekly, or monthly)
- Loss Limits: Establish a cap on the amount you're willing to lose during a gaming session
- Reality Checks: Receive periodic reminders about how long you've been playing and how much you've wagered
- Self-Exclusion: Voluntarily exclude yourself from your account for a set period if you need a break from gambling
We encourage you to use these tools to manage your gaming responsibly. If you need assistance setting up these controls, please contact our customer support team.
