Responsible Gaming

Gaming Should Be Entertainment

At Bryta Life, we believe that online pokies and casino gaming should only ever be viewed as entertainment, not as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. While gaming can be enjoyable and exciting, it's important to approach it responsibly and within your means.

Remember: the odds are always in favour of the house. Never gamble with money you cannot afford to lose.

Age Verification

Online gaming in Australia is strictly regulated. You must be 18 years of age or older to access and use any gaming services on our website. By using Bryta Life, you confirm that you are of legal age in your jurisdiction.

If you are under 18, please do not proceed. Parents and guardians should monitor young people's online activity to ensure they do not access gambling services.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

Problem gambling can develop gradually. If you recognise any of the following signs in your own behaviour, please seek help immediately:

• Spending more money or time gaming than you intended
• Chasing losses by gambling more to try to recover money lost
• Hiding your gaming activity or lying to family and friends about how much you gamble
• Neglecting work, study, family, or social responsibilities due to gaming
• Using gaming to escape problems, stress, anxiety, or depression
• Borrowing money to fund gaming or gaming debts
• Feeling irritable or anxious when trying to reduce or stop gaming
• Repeatedly attempting to cut back or quit without success
• Gaming with increasing amounts of money to achieve the same level of excitement
• Relationships suffering because of your gaming habits

If any of these apply to you, help is available and recovery is possible.

Self-Help Tools & Responsible Gaming Features

Many online gaming platforms, including regulated Australian operators, offer tools to help you maintain control:

• Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit within a specified timeframe (daily, weekly, or monthly)
• Loss Limits: Cap the maximum amount you're willing to lose in a session or over a period
• Session Time Limits: Set automatic reminders or cut-offs to prevent extended gaming sessions
• Reality Checks: Receive pop-up notifications during play to remind you how long you've been gaming and how much you've spent
• Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently exclude yourself from accessing gaming services
• Account Closure: Permanently close your account if you decide to stop gaming

We encourage you to use these tools proactively to keep your gaming safe and enjoyable.
