Responsible Gaming
Our Commitment to Responsible Gaming
At Cabarita Beach Pokies, we are committed to promoting responsible gaming practices. Gambling should be enjoyed as entertainment only, not as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. We encourage all our players to gamble within their means and seek help if they experience difficulties.
Age Verification
All players must be at least 18 years of age (or the legal gambling age in their jurisdiction) to participate in any gambling activities on our site. By using our services, you confirm that you meet the legal age requirement in Australia. We reserve the right to verify age at any time.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
If you experience any of the following, you may be developing a gambling problem:

- Gambling with money needed for essential expenses (rent, bills, food)
- Hiding or lying about the amount of time or money spent gambling
- Neglecting family, work, or social responsibilities due to gambling
- Feeling anxious, irritable, or restless when not gambling
- Increasing the amount wagered to achieve the same level of excitement
- Being unable to stick to gambling limits you've set
- Borrowing money to gamble or pay gambling debts
- Experiencing relationship problems related to gambling
- Using gambling as an escape from stress or emotional problems
