Responsible Gaming
Introduction
At foodymarket.xyz, we believe that online pokies and casino gaming should be enjoyed as entertainment only. Gaming is never a reliable way to earn money or solve financial problems. Please gamble responsibly and only with money you can afford to lose. If you find yourself gambling more than intended or experiencing negative consequences, help and support are available.
Age Verification
You must be at least 18 years of age (or the legal gambling age in your jurisdiction) to use our services. We are committed to preventing underage gambling. By accessing foodymarket.xyz, you confirm that you meet the legal age requirement in Australia.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
Problem gambling can develop gradually. Please be honest with yourself and watch for these warning signs:
- Spending more time or money on gambling than intended
- Chasing losses by gambling more to win back money
- Hiding gambling activity from friends or family
- Neglecting work, study, or personal relationships due to gambling
- Using gambling to escape problems, stress, or negative emotions
- Borrowing money to fund gambling
- Feeling anxious or irritable when unable to gamble
- Failed attempts to reduce or control gambling
- Lying about the extent of gambling involvement
- Risk of losing important relationships or opportunities due to gambling
If you recognise any of these signs in yourself or someone you know, please reach out for support.
Self-Help Tools
We provide several responsible gaming tools to help you maintain control:
- Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you're willing to deposit within a specific timeframe (daily, weekly, or monthly)
- Loss Limits: Set a maximum amount you're prepared to lose before you stop gambling
- Reality Checks: Receive periodic reminders during your gaming sessions about how long you've been playing and how much you've spent
- Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently exclude yourself from accessing our services if you need a break
- Session Time Limits: Set automatic session timeouts to control how long you play
These tools are available in your account settings. We encourage you to use them proactively.
