Responsible Gaming

Introduction

At okaypretty.com, we're committed to promoting responsible gaming practices. Live dealer casinos should be enjoyed as a form of entertainment only, not as a way to earn money or solve financial problems.

Remember: gambling outcomes are based on chance. The house always has a mathematical advantage over time. Only gamble with money you can afford to lose, and set strict limits on both time and spending.

Age Verification

Online gambling in Australia is restricted to individuals aged 18 years and over. It is your responsibility to ensure you meet the legal age requirement in your jurisdiction before participating in any gambling activities.

If you are under 18, you are not permitted to use our services. We take age verification seriously and reserve the right to request proof of age.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

Be aware of the following indicators that gambling may be becoming a problem:

• Chasing losses by gambling more to recover money lost
• Hiding or lying about gambling activities and spending
• Spending more time and money on gambling than intended
• Neglecting family, work, or personal responsibilities
• Borrowing money to fund gambling
• Feeling anxious, irritable, or restless when trying to reduce gambling
• Using gambling to escape problems or negative emotions
• Failed attempts to cut back or stop gambling
• Betting larger amounts to achieve the same level of excitement
• Experiencing financial difficulties due to gambling

If you recognize any of these signs in yourself or someone you know, help is available.

Self-Help Tools

Most reputable online casinos offer built-in tools to help you maintain control of your gambling:

• Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit within a specific timeframe (daily, weekly, or monthly).
• Loss Limits: Establish a maximum amount you're willing to lose during a gaming session.
• Reality Checks: Enable pop-up reminders at regular intervals to remind you of how long you've been playing and how much you've spent.
• Session Time Limits: Set an automatic timeout after a predetermined period of play.
• Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently exclude yourself from accessing gambling services for a period you choose.
• Account Closure: Permanently close your gambling account if you decide to stop.

Use these tools proactively to ensure gambling remains enjoyable and within your control.
