Responsible Gaming
Gaming Should Be Entertainment
At 99 Problems Bar, we believe that online gaming and pokies should be enjoyed as a form of entertainment only. Gambling is never a reliable way to earn money or solve financial problems. It carries real risks and should only be undertaken with money you can afford to lose.
Please gamble responsibly and within your means.
Age Verification
In Australia, you must be at least 18 years of age to access and use gaming services. We are committed to preventing underage gambling and comply with all Australian gaming regulations.
If you are under 18, please do not use our services. We reserve the right to verify your age at any time.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
If you recognise any of the following signs in yourself or someone else, it may indicate a gambling problem:
- Chasing losses by gambling with more money to recover what you've lost
- Gambling with larger amounts of money to achieve the same level of excitement
- Spending more time gambling than intended
- Neglecting family, work, study, or other responsibilities due to gambling
- Hiding gambling activity or lying about the amount of money spent
- Borrowing money or going into debt to gamble
- Feeling anxious, irritable, or restless when trying to reduce gambling
- Using gambling to escape problems, stress, or negative feelings
- Failed attempts to cut back or stop gambling
- Experiencing relationship conflicts due to gambling
If you experience any of these warning signs, please seek help immediately.
