Responsible Gaming
Gaming Should Be Entertainment
At Talking Eye, we're committed to promoting responsible gaming practices. It's important to remember that online pokies and casino games should only ever be viewed as a form of entertainment, not as a way to earn money or solve financial problems.
Please gamble within your means and only with money you can afford to lose. If you find yourself struggling to control your gambling, support is available.
Age Verification
In Australia, you must be at least 18 years of age to gamble online. We are committed to preventing underage gambling and comply with all Australian gaming regulations. By accessing our site, you confirm that you are of legal age to gamble in your jurisdiction.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
If you recognise any of the following signs in yourself or someone you know, it may be time to seek help:
- Spending more time or money on gambling than intended
- Chasing losses by gambling more to try to win money back
- Hiding your gambling activities from family or friends
- Feeling anxious or irritable when unable to gamble
- Using gambling to escape problems, stress, or difficult emotions
- Borrowing money or going into debt to fund gambling

- Failed attempts to reduce or control gambling
- Experiencing financial difficulties as a result of gambling
- Lying to others about the extent of your gambling
Self-Help Tools & Controls
Most reputable online gaming platforms offer built-in tools to help you manage your gambling responsibly:
- Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you're willing to deposit within a specific time period (daily, weekly, or monthly)
- Loss Limits: Set a maximum amount you're prepared to lose within a set timeframe
- Time Limits: Set reminders or automatic session timeouts to help you manage your playing time
- Reality Checks: Enable pop-up reminders during play to check how long you've been gambling
- Self-Exclusion: Take a break from gambling for a set period or permanently exclude yourself from gaming sites
We encourage you to use these tools as part of your responsible gaming approach.
