Responsible Gaming
Introduction
At 2023kotrajobfair.com, we believe that gaming should be enjoyed as entertainment only, not as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. Pokies and online gambling should be fun, exciting, and within your means. Remember: the house always has an edge, and there is no guaranteed way to win.
Age Verification
You must be at least 18 years of age (or the legal gambling age in your jurisdiction) to participate in any gambling activities on our site. We take age verification seriously and reserve the right to request proof of age at any time. Underage gambling is illegal and harmful.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
Do you recognise any of these warning signs in your behaviour?
- Chasing losses by gambling more to recover money lost
- Gambling with money needed for essential expenses (rent, bills, food)
- Hiding gambling activities or lying to friends and family about how much you gamble
- Feeling anxious, irritable, or restless when trying to cut back or stop gambling
- Gambling longer or with more money than intended

- Borrowing money to gamble or cover gambling debts
- Feeling a need to gamble with increasing amounts to achieve the same excitement
- Failed attempts to reduce or stop gambling
- Using gambling to escape problems or negative emotions
If you experience any of these signs, please reach out for help immediately.
Self-Help Tools
We provide several tools to help you maintain control over your gambling:
- Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit within a specific timeframe (daily, weekly, or monthly)
- Loss Limits: Set a maximum amount you're willing to lose during a session or timeframe
- Reality Checks: Receive pop-up reminders during play sessions to check how long and how much you've been gambling
- Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently exclude yourself from our site if you need a break from gambling

Take advantage of these tools to play responsibly and stay in control of your gaming experience.
