Responsible Gaming

Introduction

At Abel Cabinets, we believe that gaming should be enjoyed as entertainment only, not as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. PayID pokies and online gaming should be fun, social activities that you can afford to lose. If you find yourself viewing gambling as an income source or a solution to financial difficulties, it's time to seek help.

Age Verification

You must be at least 18 years of age (or the legal gambling age in your state/territory) to use our services. Gaming is not suitable for minors. We take age verification seriously and comply with all Australian gambling regulations.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

Do you recognize any of these warning signs? If so, problem gambling may be affecting you:

• Chasing losses: Trying to win back money you've lost by gambling more
• Hiding gambling activity: Keeping your gambling secret from family or friends
• Gambling with money you can't afford to lose: Using rent, bill, or grocery money
• Increasing bets: Needing to gamble with larger amounts to feel the same excitement
• Neglecting responsibilities: Missing work, school, or family time due to gambling
• Mood changes: Becoming irritable, anxious, or depressed when not gambling
• Failed attempts to stop: Repeatedly trying to cut down or quit without success
• Borrowing money to gamble: Taking loans or using credit to fund gambling
• Relationship problems: Conflicts with loved ones over your gambling habits
• Thinking constantly about gambling: Planning your next session or reliving past wins

Self-Help Tools

Most gaming platforms and responsible operators offer tools to help you stay in control:

• Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit within a specific timeframe (daily, weekly, monthly)
• Loss Limits: Restrict the amount you're willing to lose in a given period
• Reality Checks: Receive periodic reminders of how long you've been gaming and how much you've spent
• Session Time Limits: Set automatic breaks or session end times
• Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently exclude yourself from gaming platforms
• Account Cooling-Off: Take a break from gaming for a set period

Use these tools proactively to maintain healthy gaming habits.
