Responsible Gaming
Gaming Should Be Entertainment
At Franny Be Well, we believe that online pokies and casino gaming should be enjoyed as entertainment only. Gambling is never a reliable way to earn money or solve financial problems. Please gamble only with money you can afford to lose, and always view any winnings as a bonus rather than an expected outcome.
Responsible gaming is a shared commitment between players and operators. We're here to help you enjoy pokies safely.
Age Verification
You must be at least 18 years of age (or the legal gambling age in your Australian state or territory) to use any gaming services on this website. We take age verification seriously and encourage parents and guardians to discuss responsible gambling with young people.
It is illegal for minors to gamble. If you are under the legal age, please do not attempt to access gaming services.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
Problem gambling can develop gradually. If you recognise any of these warning signs in yourself or someone you know, please seek help immediately:
- Chasing losses: Gambling more to recover money you've lost
- Hiding gambling: Keeping your gambling activity secret from family or friends
- Loss of control: Being unable to stop or limit your gambling
- Increased stakes: Needing to gamble with larger amounts to get the same excitement
- Neglecting responsibilities: Missing work, school, or family commitments due to gambling
- Financial problems: Borrowing money to gamble or gambling with money needed for bills
- Mood changes: Becoming irritable or anxious when not gambling
- Failed attempts to quit: Repeatedly trying and failing to reduce or stop gambling
- Escape through gambling: Using gambling to cope with stress, anxiety, or depression
- Relationships affected: Arguments with loved ones about your gambling
Self-Help Tools & Controls
Most responsible gaming platforms offer tools to help you maintain control:
- Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit in a specified time period (daily, weekly, or monthly)
- Loss Limits: Set a limit on how much you're willing to lose in a session or time period
- Reality Checks: Receive regular reminders of how long you've been playing and how much you've spent
- Session Time Limits: Set automatic reminders or log-outs after a certain period of play
- Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently exclude yourself from gaming sites
- Account Cooling-Off Period: Take a break from gambling for a set period
Use these tools proactively. They are designed to help you stay in control and gamble responsibly.
