Responsible Gaming
Gambling Should Be Entertainment, Not Income
At Results by Ricki, we believe that online pokies and casino games should only ever be enjoyed as a form of entertainment. Gambling should never be viewed as a way to earn money, solve financial problems, or replace employment. Always gamble with money you can afford to lose, and never chase losses or bet more than you intend.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
Problem gambling can develop gradually. Please be honest with yourself and watch for these warning signs:
- Spending more time and money on gambling than intended
- Chasing losses by gambling more to recover money lost
- Hiding gambling activity or lying about the amount spent
- Gambling to escape problems, stress, anxiety, or depression
- Neglecting family, work, or personal responsibilities due to gambling
- Borrowing money to gamble or pay gambling debts
- Feeling anxious, irritable, or restless when not gambling
- Unsuccessful attempts to reduce or stop gambling
- Risking important relationships, job, or education because of gambling
- Friends or family expressing concern about your gambling habits
If you recognise any of these signs, please seek help immediately.
Self-Help Tools & Safer Gambling Features
Many gambling platforms offer tools to help you maintain control. Consider using:
- Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you're willing to deposit in a specified time period (daily, weekly, or monthly)
- Loss Limits: Set a limit on the total amount of money you're willing to lose
- Reality Checks: Enable periodic reminders during gaming sessions about how long you've been playing and how much you've spent
- Session Time Limits: Set automatic session timeouts to prevent extended playing
- Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently close your account if you feel your gambling is out of control
These tools are designed to help you gamble more responsibly. Take advantage of them.
