Gambling Should Be Entertainment

At Crumbs Pet, we believe that online pokies and casino games should be enjoyed as a form of entertainment only. Gambling is not a way to earn money or solve financial problems. It's important to play for fun, within your means, and to always gamble responsibly.

Please set limits on the time and money you spend, and never chase losses. If gambling stops being fun, it's time to seek help.

Age Verification

Online pokies and casino games in Australia are strictly for individuals aged 18 years and over. We do not permit anyone under the legal age to gamble on our site. If you are under 18, please exit immediately.

By accessing our platform, you confirm that you are 18 years of age or older and meet all legal requirements to gamble in your jurisdiction.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

Be aware of these warning signs that may indicate a gambling problem:

• Spending more time and money on gambling than intended
• Chasing losses by gambling more to recover money lost
• Feeling anxious, irritable, or restless when not gambling
• Hiding gambling activity or lying about how much you gamble
• Neglecting family, work, friends, or other responsibilities due to gambling
• Borrowing money to gamble or pay gambling debts
• Experiencing relationship problems because of gambling
• Using gambling to escape problems or negative feelings
• Gambling with money needed for essentials (rent, food, bills)
• Feeling unable to stop or control your gambling

If you recognize any of these signs in yourself or someone else, seek help immediately.

Self-Help Tools & Controls

Most reputable online gambling platforms offer tools to help you maintain control:

• Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit within a specific time period (daily, weekly, or monthly)
• Loss Limits: Set a cap on the total losses you're willing to accept over a given period
• Session Limits: Restrict the amount of time you spend gambling in one session
• Reality Checks: Enable reminders during play to check how long you've been gambling and how much you've spent
• Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently ban yourself from accessing gambling sites

We strongly encourage you to use these tools proactively. They are designed to protect you and keep gambling enjoyable and safe.
