Responsible Gaming
Our Commitment to Responsible Gaming
At fieldkyokushin.com, we are committed to promoting responsible gaming practices. Online pokies and gambling should be enjoyed as entertainment only, not as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. We encourage all players to gamble responsibly and within their means.
Age Verification
You must be at least 18 years of age (or the legal gambling age in your jurisdiction) to use our services. We take age verification seriously and reserve the right to request proof of age at any time. If you are under the legal gambling age, please do not participate in any gambling activities.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
If you recognise any of the following signs in your behaviour, you may be developing a gambling problem:
- Gambling with increasing amounts of money to achieve the same excitement
- Feeling restless or irritable when trying to cut down or stop gambling
- Repeatedly trying to control, cut back, or stop gambling without success
- Chasing losses by gambling more to recover money lost
- Lying to family members, therapists, or others about the extent of gambling
- Jeopardising relationships, education, or career opportunities due to gambling
- Relying on others to provide money to cover gambling losses
- Gambling as a way to escape problems or relieve stress
- Spending more time and money on gambling than intended
- Feeling unable to stop despite negative consequences
Self-Help Tools
We provide tools to help you maintain control of your gambling:
- Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit within a specific timeframe (daily, weekly, or monthly)
- Loss Limits: Establish a maximum amount you are willing to lose during a gaming session
- Reality Checks: Enable reminders that pop up during your gaming session to help you track time and spending
- Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently close your account if you feel you need a break from gambling
