Responsible Gaming

Gaming Should Be Fun, Not a Financial Solution

At pille.care, we're committed to promoting responsible gaming. PayID pokies and online gambling should only ever be viewed as entertainment with money you can afford to lose — never as a way to earn income or solve financial problems.

If you're struggling with gambling, help is available. Please reach out to the support organisations listed below.

Age Verification

Online gambling in Australia is strictly for adults aged 18 years and over. By accessing and using pille.care, you confirm that you are of legal gambling age in your jurisdiction.

It is illegal for minors to gamble. If you are under 18, please do not use this site.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

Do you recognise any of the following? They may indicate a gambling problem:

• Chasing losses by gambling with more money to recover what you've lost
• Gambling with increasing amounts of money to achieve the same excitement
• Spending more time gambling than intended
• Hiding or lying about your gambling activities
• Using gambling to escape stress, anxiety, or other emotional problems
• Neglecting family, work, or other responsibilities due to gambling
• Borrowing money or getting into debt to fund gambling
• Feeling anxious, irritable, or depressed when not gambling
• Unsuccessful attempts to cut down or stop gambling
• Friends or family expressing concern about your gambling

If any of these sound familiar, it's important to seek help immediately.

Self-Help Tools & Controls

Most reputable gambling operators provide tools to help you gamble responsibly:

• Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit within a specific timeframe (daily, weekly, or monthly)
• Loss Limits: Restrict the amount of money you're willing to lose during a gaming session
• Session Time Limits: Set automatic reminders or cut-offs for how long you play
• Reality Checks: Enable pop-up notifications during play to keep you aware of time and money spent
• Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently exclude yourself from gambling sites
• Account Breaks: Take a mandatory break from gambling for a set period

Use these tools proactively. They are designed to help protect you and keep gambling fun and within your control.
