Responsible Gaming

Introduction

At LaLas Python, we believe that online pokies and gambling should be enjoyed as entertainment only. Gambling is never a reliable way to earn money or solve financial problems. It should only be undertaken with money you can afford to lose, as part of a balanced lifestyle. We are committed to promoting responsible gaming practices and supporting our players' wellbeing.

Age Verification

Online pokies and gambling services are only available to players who are 18 years of age or older in Australia. We take age verification seriously and reserve the right to request proof of identity. If you are under the legal gambling age, please do not use our services.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

Problem gambling can develop gradually. If you recognize any of the following signs, it may be time to seek help:

• Spending more time or money on gambling than intended
• Feeling the need to gamble with increasing amounts to achieve the same excitement
• Attempting to cut back or quit without success
• Feeling anxious or irritable when trying to reduce gambling
• Gambling to escape problems or negative emotions
• Chasing losses by gambling more to win back lost money
• Hiding gambling habits from family and friends
• Lying about the extent of your gambling
• Borrowing money or experiencing financial difficulties due to gambling
• Neglecting relationships, work, or other responsibilities

Self-Help Tools

LaLas Python provides the following 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: Establish a limit on how much you're willing to lose during a gaming session.
• Reality Checks: Receive regular reminders about how long you've been playing and how much you've wagered.
• Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently exclude yourself from your account if you feel you need a break from gambling.
• Account Cooling-Off Period: Take a mandatory break from your account to reconsider your gambling.
