Responsible Gambling

Gambling should always be an enjoyable form of entertainment. We at Uptown Pokies Review are strongly committed to promoting responsible gambling and providing resources to help those who may be experiencing gambling-related harm.

Gambling Responsibly — Key Principles

  • Only gamble with money you can afford to lose
  • Set a budget before you start and stick to it
  • Never gamble to recover losses (chasing losses)
  • Take regular breaks from gambling sessions
  • Do not gamble under the influence of alcohol or medications
  • Keep gambling a small part of your leisure time
  • Never gamble with borrowed money or credit

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

You may have a problem with gambling if you experience any of the following:

  • Gambling more than you can afford
  • Spending more time and money gambling than intended
  • Neglecting family, work, or personal responsibilities
  • Lying to others about your gambling behaviour
  • Feeling anxious, irritable, or depressed when not gambling
  • Borrowing money or selling possessions to fund gambling
  • Continued gambling despite significant financial or personal harm

Self-Exclusion Tools

Most licensed online casinos including Uptown Pokies offer self-exclusion tools that allow you to restrict or close your account for a set period. We strongly encourage you to use these tools if you feel your gambling is becoming harmful. Contact Uptown Pokies support via live chat to activate self-exclusion.
