Responsible Gaming

Gaming Should Be Entertainment

Online pokies and casino games are designed for entertainment purposes only. They should never be viewed as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. The house always has a mathematical advantage, and outcomes are determined by random chance. Please gamble responsibly and within your means.

Age Verification

You must be at least 18 years of age (or the legal gambling age in your jurisdiction) to access and use online pokies on this website. By accessing Alyfood.com.au, you confirm that you meet the legal age requirement in Australia.

If you are under the legal age, please do not use our services. Parents and guardians should monitor children's internet use and ensure they cannot access gambling content.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

If you recognise any of the following warning signs, you may have a gambling problem:

• Chasing losses by gambling more to win back money you've lost
• Spending more time and money on gambling than intended
• Hiding your gambling activity from family, friends, or partners
• Gambling to escape negative emotions, stress, or problems
• Neglecting work, study, family, or social responsibilities due to gambling
• Borrowing money or going into debt to fund gambling
• Lying about the amount of time or money spent gambling
• Feeling anxious, irritable, or restless when not gambling
• Failed attempts to reduce or control gambling
• Gambling with money needed for essential expenses (rent, bills, food)

If you experience any of these signs, please seek help immediately. You are not alone.

Self-Help Tools & Player Controls

Most reputable online casinos provide self-help tools to assist responsible gambling:

• Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit within a specified timeframe (daily, weekly, monthly)
• Loss Limits: Restrict the total amount you're willing to lose during a gaming session
• Reality Checks: Enable pop-up reminders during play to track time and money spent
• Session Limits: Set a maximum duration for each gaming session
• Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently exclude yourself from accessing gambling services

We encourage you to use these tools to maintain control and play within your limits. If your provider does not offer these features, consider using an alternative service.
