Responsible Gaming

Introduction

At stonecraftmasonrysolutions.com, we're committed to promoting responsible gaming. Pokies and online gaming should be enjoyed as entertainment only — never as a way to make money or solve financial problems. Please gamble within your means and only with money you can afford to lose.

Age Verification

You must be 18 years of age or older (or the legal gambling age in your jurisdiction) to access and use our pokies services. We take age verification seriously and reserve the right to request proof of identity at any time.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

If you recognize any of these signs in yourself or someone else, it may indicate a problem with gambling:

• Chasing losses by gambling more to win back lost money
• Hiding or lying about gambling activity and spending
• Gambling with money needed for essentials (rent, bills, food)
• Neglecting family, work, or other responsibilities
• Feeling anxious, irritable, or guilty about gambling
• Unsuccessful attempts to cut down or stop gambling
• Gambling to escape problems or negative emotions
• Borrowing money to gamble
• Friends or family expressing concern about your gambling

Self-Help Tools

We provide several tools to help you maintain control of your gaming:

• Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit within a chosen timeframe
• Loss Limits: Cap the amount you're willing to lose during a gaming session
• Reality Checks: Receive reminders during play about how long you've been gambling and how much you've spent
• Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently exclude yourself from accessing gaming services
• Session Timeouts: Set automatic session limits to encourage breaks
