Responsible Gaming
Gaming Should Be Entertainment
At Baked Since 95 Cafe, we believe that online pokies and gaming should be enjoyed as a form of entertainment only—never as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. While gaming can be fun and exciting, it's important to approach it responsibly and within your means.
Always remember: the house has an edge, and you should only gamble with money you can afford to lose.
Age Verification
Online gaming in Australia is restricted to persons aged 18 years and over. If you are under 18, you must not access or use our gaming services. We take age verification seriously and reserve the right to request proof of age at any time.
By using our platform, you confirm that you are at least 18 years of age and meet all legal requirements in your jurisdiction.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
Do any of these apply to you? If so, you may be developing a gambling problem:
- Chasing losses: Gambling more to try to recover money you've lost
- Hiding your gambling: Keeping your gaming activity secret from family or friends
- Loss of control: Gambling longer or with more money than intended
- Neglecting responsibilities: Missing work, school, or family commitments due to gaming
- Borrowing to gamble: Taking loans or using credit to fund gaming activities
- Mood changes: Becoming irritable or anxious when unable to gamble
- Escalating stakes: Needing to bet more money to get the same excitement
- Failed attempts to stop: Repeatedly trying to cut back but unable to do so
- Financial hardship: Experiencing money problems as a result of gambling
- Relationship strain: Gaming is causing conflict with loved ones
If you recognise any of these signs, please reach out for help immediately.
Self-Help Tools & Player Controls
We provide a range of tools to help you manage your gaming responsibly:
- Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit within a specified timeframe (daily, weekly, or monthly)
- Loss Limits: Cap the amount of money you're willing to lose during a gaming session
- Session Time Limits: Set reminders to take breaks and control how long you play
- Reality Checks: Enable pop-up notifications during play to remind you of time and money spent
- Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently exclude yourself from your account if you feel you're losing control
We encourage you to use these tools proactively to maintain control of your gaming habits.
