Responsible Gaming
Gaming Should Be Entertainment
Online pokies should be enjoyed as a form of entertainment only, not as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. There is no guaranteed way to win, and the odds always favour the house. Play only with money you can afford to lose, and set strict limits before you start.
Age Verification
You must be at least 18 years of age (or the legal gambling age in your state/territory) to access and use arlixandhufie.com.au. We are committed to preventing underage gambling and comply with all Australian gambling regulations.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
If you recognise any of the following signs in yourself or someone you know, it may indicate a gambling problem:
- Chasing losses by gambling more to try to recover money lost
- Gambling with increasing amounts of money to get the same excitement
- Hiding gambling activities or lying about the time and money spent
- Neglecting family, work, school, or other responsibilities due to gambling
- Borrowing money or going into debt to fund gambling
- Feeling anxious, irritable, or restless when trying to cut down or stop gambling
- Failed attempts to control or stop gambling
- Gambling to escape problems, stress, or negative emotions
- Jeopardising relationships, job opportunities, or education because of gambling

Most reputable online pokies platforms offer built-in tools to help you stay in control:
