Responsible Gaming

Gaming Should Be Entertainment

At Belle's Will Ring, we believe that online pokies and casino games should only ever be viewed as a form of entertainment, not as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. Please gamble responsibly and within your means.

If you find yourself struggling with your gambling habits, help and support are available. This page provides resources and tools to help you stay in control.

Age Verification

You must be at least 18 years of age (or the legal gambling age in your jurisdiction) to access and use our services. We are committed to preventing underage gambling and comply with all Australian gambling regulations.

Belle's Will Ring does not permit gambling by minors. If you are under the legal age, please do not proceed.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

Please be aware of the following warning signs that may indicate problem gambling:

• Chasing Losses: Attempting to recover losses by gambling more money or for longer periods
• Hiding Gambling: Concealing your gambling activity from family, friends, or partners
• Loss of Control: Being unable to stick to set time or money limits
• Neglecting Responsibilities: Gambling instead of attending to work, family, or personal obligations
• Borrowing to Gamble: Using credit, loans, or borrowed money to fund gambling
• Mood Swings: Becoming irritable or anxious when unable to gamble
• Escalating Stakes: Needing to gamble with increasing amounts to achieve the same excitement
• Failed Attempts to Quit: Repeatedly trying and failing to reduce or stop gambling
• Financial Hardship: Experiencing debts, unpaid bills, or financial difficulties due to gambling

If you recognize any of these signs in your own behaviour, please reach out for help immediately.

Self-Help Tools & Limits

Belle's Will Ring provides several tools to help you maintain control of your gambling:

• Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you are willing to deposit within a specific timeframe (daily, weekly, or monthly)
• Loss Limits: Establish a maximum loss limit to prevent excessive spending
• Reality Checks: Receive periodic reminders during gaming sessions about how long you have been playing and how much you have spent
• Session Limits: Set time restrictions on how long you can play in a single session
• Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently exclude yourself from accessing your account and our services

We encourage all players to use these tools as part of their responsible gaming approach.
