Responsible Gaming
Gaming Should Be Entertainment, Not Income
At Fashion Urge, we're committed to promoting responsible gaming practices. Online pokies should be enjoyed as entertainment only, never as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. Always gamble within your means and remember that the house always has an edge.
Age Verification
You must be 18 years of age or older to engage in online gambling in Australia. We are committed to preventing underage gambling and strictly enforce age verification checks. If you are under 18, please do not attempt to access gambling services.
It is illegal for minors to gamble, and we take this responsibility seriously.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
If you recognise any of the following signs, you may have a gambling problem:
- Chasing losses by gambling more to recover money lost
- Hiding gambling activity or lying to friends and family about how much you gamble
- Spending more time and money on gambling than intended
- Feeling anxious, irritable, or restless when trying to cut down or stop
- Gambling to escape problems, stress, or negative emotions
- Neglecting work, school, or family responsibilities due to gambling
- Borrowing money or going into debt to fund gambling
- Unsuccessful attempts to reduce or control gambling
- Risking important relationships, jobs, or educational opportunities
- Needing to gamble with increasing amounts of money for the same excitement
