Responsible Gaming
Gaming Should Be Entertainment, Not Income
Online pokies and casino games should only be viewed as entertainment. They are games of chance designed for fun, not as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. The house always has a mathematical advantage, and you should never gamble with money you cannot afford to lose.
Please gamble responsibly and within your means.
Age Verification
You must be at least 18 years of age (or the legal gambling age in your jurisdiction) to access and use minoripantry.com.au and participate in online gaming.
If you are under the legal age, please do not proceed. It is illegal for minors to gamble.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
Please be aware of the following warning signs that may indicate problem gambling:
- Spending more time or money on gambling than intended
- Chasing losses by gambling more to try to recover lost money
- Hiding gambling activity from family, friends, or partners
- Feeling anxious, irritable, or restless when not gambling
- Using gambling to escape problems, stress, or negative emotions
- Borrowing money or going into debt to gamble
- Neglecting work, school, relationships, or hobbies due to gambling
- Lying about the amount of money or time spent gambling
- Failed attempts to cut back or stop gambling
- Experiencing financial, legal, or personal problems due to gambling
If you recognise any of these signs in yourself or someone else, please seek help immediately.
