Responsible Gaming
Introduction
At Abbe Delivers, we believe that gaming should be enjoyed as entertainment only, not as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. While PayID pokies can be fun and exciting, it's important to play responsibly and within your means. Remember: the odds always favour the house in the long run.
Age Verification
You must be at least 18 years of age (or the legal gambling age in your state) to use our services. If you are under the legal age for gambling in your jurisdiction, please do not proceed. We take age verification seriously and reserve the right to request proof of identity.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
Do any of these apply to you? If so, it may be time to seek help:
- Spending more money or time gambling than you intended
- Chasing losses by gambling more to recover money lost
- Hiding your gambling from family, friends, or partners
- Borrowing money to gamble or pay gambling debts
- Neglecting work, study, family, or hobbies due to gambling
- Feeling anxious, guilty, or depressed about your gambling
- Using gambling to escape stress, problems, or negative emotions
- Failed attempts to cut back or stop gambling
- Experiencing financial hardship because of gambling
- Continuing to gamble despite negative consequences
Self-Help Tools
Most responsible gaming platforms offer tools to help you stay in control:
- Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit within a specific timeframe
- Loss Limits: Cap the amount you're willing to lose in a session or week
- Reality Checks: Receive reminders during play sessions about how long you've been gaming
- Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently exclude yourself from gambling sites
- Time-Out: Take a break from gambling for a set period
Always use these tools proactively to maintain control over your gaming habits.
