Responsible Gambling
Dragon Link Pokies AU is committed to promoting responsible gambling. We believe gambling should always be a form of entertainment and never a source of financial or emotional distress. This page outlines the tools and resources available to help you stay in control.

Signs of Problem Gambling
Problem gambling can affect anyone. Common warning signs include:
- Spending more money or time gambling than intended
- Borrowing money to fund gambling activity
- Neglecting work, family or social obligations because of gambling
- Feeling anxious, irritable or restless when not gambling
- Chasing losses — gambling more to try to win back money lost
- Lying to family or friends about your gambling habits
- Gambling as a way to cope with stress or negative emotions
Tools to Stay in Control
Most licensed Australian online casinos offer built-in responsible gambling tools:
- Deposit Limits — Set daily, weekly, or monthly limits on how much you deposit.
- Session Time Limits — Set a maximum session duration and receive a warning when you reach it.
- Reality Checks — Periodic pop-up reminders of how long you have been playing.
- Cool-Off Periods — Take a short break of 24 hours to 6 weeks.
- Self-Exclusion — Voluntarily ban yourself from a casino for a set period or permanently.
