Responsible Gaming

Our Commitment to Responsible Gaming

At Find Dane, we believe that online pokies and casino games should be enjoyed purely as entertainment, never as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. Gambling carries risks, and we encourage all players to gamble responsibly and within their means.

If you're under the legal gambling age, or if gambling is causing you harm, please seek help immediately using the resources provided below.

Age Verification

In Australia, you must be 18 years of age or older to legally gamble. By using our site and accessing information about pokies and casino games, you confirm that you meet this legal requirement in your jurisdiction.

If you are under 18, please do not proceed. If you suspect someone under 18 is gambling online, contact your local authorities or a support organisation listed below.

Self-Help Tools & Strategies

Most legitimate Australian online casinos and pokies sites 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 how much you're willing to lose in a given timeframe
Reality Checks: Receive regular reminders of how long you've been playing and how much you've spent
Session Limits: Automatically log out after a set period to prevent extended play
Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently exclude yourself from gambling platforms
Account Closure: Permanently close your account if you need to stop gambling entirely

Use these tools proactively. They are designed to protect you. Don't wait until a problem develops—take control now.
