Responsible Gaming
Introduction
At australia001.com, we believe that gaming should be enjoyed as entertainment only. Pokies and online gaming are games of chance designed for fun and excitement – never as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. Please gamble responsibly and within your means.
Age Verification
By accessing australia001.com, you confirm that you are 18 years of age or older (the legal gambling age in Australia). Gambling is strictly prohibited for anyone under the legal age. We do not knowingly permit minors to gamble on our platforms.

- Needing to gamble with increasing amounts to achieve the same excitement
- Failed attempts to reduce or stop gambling
- Borrowing money or using credit to fund gambling
- Relationship problems due to gambling habits
- Feeling guilty or ashamed about gambling behaviour
