Responsible Gaming
Our Commitment to Responsible Gaming
At Fusion Z Hair and Beauty, we are committed to promoting responsible gaming practices. While online pokies can be an enjoyable form of entertainment, it is important to remember that gambling should never be viewed as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. Play for entertainment only, and always gamble within your means.
Age Verification
Online pokies in Australia are strictly for players aged 18 years and over. If you are under the legal gambling age in your jurisdiction, you must not access or use our gaming services. By accessing our site, you confirm that you meet the legal age requirement in your location.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
Problem gambling can develop gradually. If you recognize any of the following warning signs in your own behaviour, it may be time to seek help:
- Gambling with money you cannot afford to lose
- Chasing losses by gambling more to try to recover money
- Hiding your gambling activities from family or friends
- Experiencing mood swings related to gambling wins and losses
- Spending more time and money on gambling than intended
- Neglecting work, school, family, or other responsibilities due to gambling
- Feeling anxious or irritable when unable to gamble
- Borrowing money to gamble or pay gambling debts
- Lying about the amount of time or money spent gambling
- Using gambling to escape stress, anxiety, or depression
Self-Help Tools
We encourage all players to use the following tools to maintain control over their gaming:
- Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you are willing to deposit and spend in a given period (daily, weekly, or monthly)
- Loss Limits: Establish a maximum amount you are prepared to lose before stopping play
- Session Time Limits: Set a timer to limit the duration of each gaming session
- Reality Checks: Enable notifications during play to remind you of time spent and money wagered
- Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently exclude yourself from gaming platforms if you feel your gambling is becoming problematic
