Responsible Gaming

Our Commitment to Responsible Gaming

At madeevent.com, we are committed to promoting responsible gaming practices. Gambling should be enjoyed as entertainment only, not as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. We encourage all players to gamble within their means and to seek help if gambling becomes a concern.

Age Verification

By accessing our PayID pokies services, you confirm that you are at least 18 years of age, which is the legal age for gambling in Australia. We take age verification seriously and reserve the right to request proof of age at any time. If you are under 18, please do not use our services.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

Problem gambling can develop gradually. Please be aware of these warning signs:

• Gambling more frequently or with larger amounts than intended
• Chasing losses by gambling more to recover money lost
• Hiding gambling activities or lying about the time and money spent
• Neglecting family, work, or other responsibilities due to gambling
• Using gambling as a way to escape stress, anxiety, or other emotional problems
• Borrowing money or getting into debt to gamble
• Experiencing mood swings or irritability when unable to gamble
• Failed attempts to cut back or stop gambling
• Risking important relationships or job opportunities for gambling

If you recognise any of these signs in yourself or someone you know, please seek help immediately.

Self-Help Tools

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

• Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit within a specified time period (daily, weekly, or monthly)
• Loss Limits: Set a maximum amount you are willing to lose during a session or time period
• Reality Checks: Receive periodic reminders about how long you have been playing and how much you have spent
• Session Time Limits: Set a maximum duration for your gaming sessions
• Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently exclude yourself from our services if you need to take a break

To access these tools or for more information about responsible gaming features, please contact our support team.
