Responsible Gaming

Gaming Should Be Fun, Not a Financial Solution

At Virtual Reality Insanity, we believe that online pokies and casino games should be enjoyed purely as entertainment. Gambling should never be viewed as a way to earn money, pay bills, or solve financial problems. The odds are always in favour of the house, and losses are a real possibility every time you play.

We are committed to promoting responsible gaming practices and supporting players who may be experiencing difficulties with their gambling habits.

Age Verification

Online gambling in Australia is strictly for individuals aged 18 years and over. By accessing our site and participating in any gaming activities, you confirm that you are of legal age in your jurisdiction.

We take age verification seriously and reserve the right to request proof of identity at any time. If you are under 18, please do not use our services.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

If you recognise any of the following signs in your own behaviour, it may be time to seek help:

• Spending more time and money on gambling than intended
• Chasing losses by gambling more to recover money you've lost
• Hiding your gambling activities from family or friends
• Using gambling as a way to escape stress, anxiety, or sadness
• Borrowing money or using credit to gamble
• Neglecting work, school, family, or social responsibilities
• Feeling anxious or irritable when not gambling
• Failed attempts to cut down or stop gambling
• Gambling with money needed for essential expenses
• Lying about the extent of your gambling

If any of these apply to you, help is available and seeking support is a sign of strength.

Self-Help Tools & Controls

Virtual Reality Insanity provides several tools to help you maintain control of your gaming:

• Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit within a specified timeframe (daily, weekly, or monthly)
• Loss Limits: Set a limit on how much you're willing to lose before you stop playing
• Reality Checks: Receive periodic reminders about how long you've been playing and how much you've spent
• Session Time Limits: Set a maximum duration for each gaming session
• Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently exclude yourself from accessing your account

We encourage you to use these tools proactively as part of your responsible gaming strategy. You can manage these settings in your account preferences at any time.
