Responsible Gambling at MrPokies
At MrPokies, we’re all about fun, fairness, and freedom when it comes to online pokies Australia. But while a cheeky spin here and there can be a great way to unwind, we also know that gambling can sometimes become more than just a bit of harmless fun.
We’re committed to creating a safe, responsible environment for all our players. Whether you’re here to chase a win, kill time during a lunch break, or enjoy your favourite pokies after work, MrPokies want to make sure you’re doing so with full control and clear limits.
Responsible gambling isn’t just a checkbox on our website and also it’s a core part of how we operate. We believe that all players deserve support, transparency, and tools to help them play safely.

What Does Responsible Gambling Mean?
Responsible gambling means enjoying online pokies Australia in a way that’s fun, controlled, and doesn’t negatively affect your life. It’s about keeping your play in balance and setting time and money limits, avoiding the urge to chase losses, and always treating gambling as a form of entertainment, not a way to make money. At MrPokies, we encourage players to stay mindful, play within their means, and reach out if things ever start feeling off. Responsible gambling ensures your experience stays enjoyable and stress-free, and we’re here to support that every step of the way.
Tools to Help You Stay in Control
To help MrPokies players keep their play in check, we offer a range of responsible gambling tools built into your account settings. These features are free, easy to use, and completely confidential. Contact MrPokies friendly customer service to help you set these if needed.
Deposit Limits
You can set daily, weekly, or monthly deposit caps to control how much you spend. Once you hit that limit, you won’t be able to add more funds until the limit resets.
This tool is perfect if you want to make sure you’re sticking to a set budget, and it’s adjustable anytime from your player dashboard.
Time-Out Periods
Need a short break? You can set a cooling-off period ranging from 24 hours to several weeks. During this time, you’ll be logged out and unable to play until the timer runs out.
It’s a great option if you feel like you’re getting a bit too caught up in the action.
Self-Exclusion
If you need a longer break or want to stop playing altogether, you can choose to self-exclude from MrPokies for 6 months, 12 months, or permanently. Once activated, your account will be locked, and any remaining funds will be returned (subject to ID verification).
Our support team is also on hand to help you through the process and make sure it’s handled discreetly and respectfully.
Reality Checks
Want a gentle reminder to stay on track? Our reality check notifications will pop up during gameplay to show how long you’ve been playing and how much you’ve spent. These prompts help keep things in perspective.
