At E Humanity, we believe that online pokies should be an enjoyable and entertaining experience. Lachlan McBride and the entire E Humanity team are genuinely committed to promoting safe, responsible gambling practices for every Australian player who visits e-humanity.org. This page exists not as a formality, but because we sincerely care about the wellbeing of our readers.
Gambling is a popular leisure activity in Australia, but it carries real risks. Knowing those risks, recognising warning signs early, and understanding the tools available to you can make all the difference. Please read this page carefully and share it with anyone you think may need support.
Responsible gambling means staying in control. Before you play, ask yourself these simple questions:
If you answered yes to any of the questions above, we strongly encourage you to use the self-exclusion and support tools described on this page.
Problem gambling can develop gradually and is not always easy to spot. Common warning signs include:
Recognising these signs is not a weakness. It is the first and most important step toward getting back in control.
Most reputable Australian online casinos allow you to set daily, weekly, or monthly deposit limits directly within your account settings. Setting a firm limit before you start playing is one of the simplest and most effective ways to protect your bankroll and your wellbeing.
Many platforms offer reality check notifications that remind you how long you have been playing and how much you have spent. Enable these reminders so that your sessions stay within boundaries you have consciously chosen.
A cooling-off period lets you temporarily pause your account for a set number of days or weeks. This is a useful tool if you feel your gambling habits are becoming unhealthy but you are not yet ready to self-exclude permanently.
Self-exclusion allows you to block yourself from accessing a gambling platform for a defined period, which can range from weeks to permanently. In Australia, the BetStop National Self-Exclusion Register (betstop.gov.au) lets you exclude yourself from all licensed Australian wagering and lottery services in a single step. We strongly encourage any player who feels at risk to use this service immediately.
If you or someone you know needs urgent help, please reach out to one of the following free and confidential services:
