Responsible Gaming

Gambling at Golden Century is intended solely for entertainment purposes and should never be viewed as a source of income or financial solution. It is important for players to approach gambling with a clear understanding of the potential risks involved, ensuring a safe and enjoyable experience while engaging with our online pokies offerings.

Self-Control Tools

Golden Century provides a range of responsible gambling tools designed to help players maintain control over their gaming activities. These tools include:

Deposit Limits: Players can set limits on the amount of money they can deposit into their accounts over a specified period. This helps manage spending and encourages responsible gambling.
Loss Limits: This feature allows players to establish a cap on their losses for a given timeframe, ensuring they do not exceed their budget.
Wagering Limits: Players can control the amount they wager on online pokies, thereby regulating their gaming expenditure.
Session Time Limits: This tool enables players to set a maximum duration for their gaming sessions. Once the time is up, the account will automatically restrict access, promoting healthy gaming habits.
Cooling-Off Periods: Players can opt for a temporary break from gambling activities, giving them time to reflect and reassess their gaming behaviors.
Self-Exclusion Options: For players who feel they need a more extended break, self-exclusion allows them to voluntarily suspend their accounts for a specified period. During this time, access to their accounts will be restricted.

Self-Assessment

Recognizing early signs of problematic gambling behavior is crucial for maintaining a healthy relationship with gambling. Players are encouraged to reflect on the following questions:

Have you ever felt the need to gamble with money you cannot afford to lose?
Do you often chase losses by gambling more in an attempt to win back lost amounts?
Have you noticed an increase in the time you spend gambling online?
Do you feel anxious or stressed about your gambling activities?
Have you ever lied to friends or family about your gambling habits?
Do you find yourself gambling to escape from personal problems or emotions?
Have you neglected other responsibilities or activities because of gambling?

If players answer ‘yes’ to any of these questions, it may be beneficial to seek further support or utilize the responsible gaming tools provided by Golden Century.

Protection of Minors

Golden Century is committed to preventing underage access to its platform. We implement strict safeguards and procedures, which include:
