Responsible Gaming

    Gaming Should Be Entertainment

    At Noisy Galahs, we believe that online gaming should be enjoyed as a form of entertainment only, not as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. While we strive to provide an enjoyable gaming experience, it's important to understand the risks involved and to gamble responsibly.

    If you ever feel that your gaming habits are becoming unhealthy, help is available. Please reach out to the support organisations listed below.

    Age Verification

    Online gaming in Australia is restricted to individuals aged 18 years and over. By accessing our website and participating in gaming activities, you confirm that you are at least 18 years of age or meet the legal age requirement in your jurisdiction.

    We take age verification seriously and reserve the right to request proof of age at any time.

    Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

    If you recognise any of the following signs in your own behaviour, it may be time to seek support:

    • Gambling more than you intended or with more money than you can afford
    • Chasing losses by gambling more to try to recover money you've lost
    • Hiding your gambling or lying to friends and family about how much you gamble
    • Feeling anxious, irritable, or restless when trying to reduce or stop gambling
    • Using gambling as a way to escape problems or negative emotions
    • Borrowing money to fund gambling activities
    • Neglecting work, study, family, or personal relationships due to gambling
    • Experiencing financial difficulties because of gambling
    • Thinking about gambling constantly
    • Needing to gamble with larger amounts to achieve the same level of excitement

    If any of these apply to you, please reach out for help immediately.

    Self-Help Tools & Features

    Most responsible gaming platforms offer tools to help you maintain control. These may include:

    • Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit over a specific period (daily, weekly, or monthly)
    • Loss Limits: Restrict the maximum amount you're willing to lose in a given timeframe
    • Reality Checks: Receive periodic reminders about how long you've been gaming and how much you've spent
    • Self-Exclusion: Voluntarily exclude yourself from accessing gaming sites for a set period
    • Account Cooling Off: Take a temporary break from your account without permanently closing it
