Responsible Gaming
Gaming Should Be Entertainment
Online pokies and casino games should only be played as a form of entertainment, not as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. The odds are always in favour of the house, and there is no guaranteed way to win. Please gamble responsibly and only spend money you can afford to lose.
Age Verification
You must be at least 18 years of age (or the legal gambling age in your state or territory) to use this website and participate in any gaming activities. drfill.com.au is strictly for adults only. If you are under the legal age, please do not proceed.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
If you experience any of the following, you may be developing a gambling problem:
- Chasing losses by gambling more to try to win back money you've lost
- Gambling for longer periods or with larger amounts than intended
- Hiding your gambling activities or lying about how much you gamble
- Neglecting family, work, or other responsibilities due to gambling
- Feeling anxious, irritable, or restless when trying to cut down or stop gambling
- Using gambling as an escape from stress, anxiety, or other emotional problems
- Borrowing money or going into debt to fund gambling
- Experiencing financial difficulties or relationship problems due to gambling
- Unsuccessful attempts to reduce or control gambling
- Constantly thinking about gambling or planning your next gaming session
If you recognise any of these signs in yourself or someone you know, please seek help immediately.
Self-Help Tools & Safer Gaming Options
Most online gaming operators offer tools to help you manage your gambling responsibly:
- Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you are willing to spend in a day, week, or month
- Loss Limits: Set a maximum amount you are willing to lose before stopping play
- Reality Checks: Regular pop-up reminders showing how long you've been playing and how much you've spent
- Time-Out: Take a break from gaming for a set period without closing your account
- Self-Exclusion: Voluntarily exclude yourself from an operator's platform for a specified period
Use these tools proactively to maintain control over your gaming activities.
