Responsible Gaming

Gambling at True Fortune is intended solely for entertainment purposes. It should never be viewed as a source of income or a financial solution. The excitement of engaging with online pokies is meant to be enjoyable, and we encourage players to approach their gaming experience with a sense of fun and responsibility.

Self-Control Tools

True Fortune provides several responsible gambling tools designed to help players maintain control over their gaming activities. These tools empower players to set personal limits and take breaks, ensuring a safe and enjoyable experience.

Deposit Limits: Players can set daily, weekly, or monthly limits on the amount they can deposit into their accounts. This prevents excessive spending and encourages responsible budgeting.
Loss Limits: Setting loss limits allows players to manage their losses by specifying the maximum amount they are willing to lose within a defined period. Once this limit is reached, the account will be restricted from further gameplay until the chosen timeframe has elapsed.
Wagering Limits: Players can also set limits on the total amount they can wager during a specific time frame. This helps in controlling the pace of play and overall spending.
Session Time Limits: To promote healthy gaming habits, players can set time limits on their gaming sessions. Once the limit is reached, the system will notify the player and they will be prompted to take a break.
Cooling-Off Periods: Players may opt for a cooling-off period, during which they can take a temporary break from gaming. This can help regain perspective and assess their gaming habits.
Self-Exclusion Options: True Fortune offers self-exclusion mechanisms, allowing players to voluntarily exclude themselves from accessing their account for a specified duration. This is an important step for those who feel they need to take a break from gambling.

Self-Assessment

To help players identify early signs of problematic gambling behavior, we encourage self-reflection through structured questions. Consider the following:

Do you often gamble to escape from stress or negative feelings?
Have you ever felt the need to gamble with larger amounts of money?
Do you find yourself chasing losses, hoping to win back what you have lost?
Have you experienced difficulties in controlling the amount of time or money spent on pokies?
Are you neglecting personal responsibilities or relationships due to your gambling activities?
Do you lie to others about the extent of your gambling?
Have you ever felt guilt or regret after gambling?

If you answered ‘yes’ to any of these questions, it may be time to reassess your gambling habits and consider using the responsible gaming tools available.

Protection of Minors

True Fortune is committed to preventing underage access to its gambling services. We employ strict safeguards and procedures to ensure that only individuals of legal age can participate.

Age Verification: All players must complete an age verification process before being allowed to access their accounts. This may include providing identification documents to confirm their age.
KYC Checks: Know Your Customer (KYC) checks are performed to verify the identity of players. This process helps prevent minors from accessing online pokies and ensures compliance with regulatory requirements.

External Help

If you or someone you know is experiencing difficulties with gambling, several professional support organizations are available to help. Consider reaching out to:

GamCare: Provides information, advice, and support for anyone affected by gambling.
BeGambleAware: Offers resources and assistance for individuals seeking help with gambling-related issues.
Local Support Services: Various local organizations in Australia also provide counseling and support.

These organizations offer confidential, non-judgmental assistance and can help you navigate the challenges associated with gambling.

Recognizing the early warning signs of problematic gambling behavior is crucial for maintaining a healthy relationship with gaming. Be aware of the following indicators:

Increased frequency of play and time spent gaming.
Escalation of the amounts wagered without regard for losses.
Emotional distress related to gambling decisions.
Neglecting personal relationships or responsibilities due to gambling.
A constant need to gamble to achieve the same level of excitement or satisfaction.

Account Restrictions and Self-Exclusion Mechanisms

True Fortune offers various account restriction options, allowing players to manage their gaming activities effectively. Players can choose to set limits or temporarily suspend their accounts through self-exclusion.

Account Restrictions: Players can request account restrictions to limit access to their gaming accounts. This may include deposit or wagering limits tailored to individual needs.
Self-Exclusion: Players may opt to self-exclude for a specified duration. During this time, access to the account will be denied, providing a necessary break from gambling.
