Responsible Gaming
Gaming Should Be Entertainment
At Saturday Night Soirée, we believe that online gaming should be enjoyed as entertainment only—never as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. Pokies and casino games are games of chance with a house edge, meaning the odds always favour the venue over time.
Set a budget you can afford to lose, play for fun, and remember that losing is a normal part of gaming.
Age Verification
You must be at least 18 years of age (or the legal gambling age in your jurisdiction) to use our services. We are committed to preventing underage gambling. If you are under 18, please do not access our website.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
Do you recognise any of these warning signs in your own behaviour?
- Spending more time or money on gambling than intended
- Chasing losses by gambling more to win back money you've lost
- Hiding your gambling activity from family or friends
- Feeling anxious, irritable, or restless when trying to reduce gambling
- Using gambling to escape problems, stress, or negative emotions
- Borrowing money or using savings to fund gambling
- Neglecting work, study, or family responsibilities due to gambling
- Lying about the extent of your gambling
- Failed attempts to cut down or stop gambling
If you've experienced any of these, support is available and seeking help is a sign of strength.
Self-Help Tools
Most responsible gaming operators offer built-in tools to help you maintain control:
- Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit within a specific time period
- Loss Limits: Cap the maximum amount you're willing to lose
- Reality Checks: Receive reminders about how long you've been playing and how much you've spent
- Time-Out: Take a break from gaming for a set period without closing your account
- Self-Exclusion: Permanently or temporarily exclude yourself from gaming platforms
Contact your gaming provider to activate these tools, or speak with a support organisation below.
