Responsible Gaming

Introduction

At Sinas Kitchen, we believe that gaming should be enjoyed as entertainment only. Pokies and online gaming should never be viewed as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. Please gamble responsibly and within your means. Remember: the house always has an edge, and you should only wager what you can afford to lose.

Age Verification

All users must be 18 years of age or older to participate in gaming activities. By accessing this site, you confirm that you are of legal age in your jurisdiction. If you are under 18, please do not use this website.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

If you recognise any of the following behaviours in yourself or someone you know, it may be time to seek help:

• Chasing losses by gambling more to recover money lost
• Gambling with money intended for essential expenses (rent, bills, food)
• Hiding gambling activities or lying about the amount of time or money spent
• Gambling to escape stress, anxiety, or negative emotions
• Experiencing mood swings or irritability when unable to gamble
• Neglecting family, work, or personal responsibilities due to gambling
• Borrowing money to fund gambling activities
• Feeling unable to stop or control gambling behaviour
• Gambling with increasing amounts to achieve the same level of excitement

Self-Help Tools

Many gaming platforms offer tools to help you maintain control over your gaming habits:

• Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit within a specific time period
• Loss Limits: Cap the amount of money you are willing to lose
• Time Limits: Set restrictions on how long you can play per session
• Reality Checks: Receive periodic reminders during gameplay about time and money spent
• Self-Exclusion: Take a break from gaming by temporarily or permanently excluding yourself from gaming sites

We encourage you to use these tools proactively to support your responsible gaming journey.
