Responsible Gaming

Gambling Should Be Entertainment

At Vivkelly.com, we're committed to promoting responsible gaming practices. Online pokies and casino games should be enjoyed as a form of entertainment only, not as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. Please gamble only with money you can afford to lose and set strict limits before you play.

You must be at least 18 years of age (or the legal gambling age in your jurisdiction) to access and use this website. Gambling is prohibited for minors. By accessing vivkelly.com, you confirm that you meet the legal age requirements in Australia.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

If you experience any of the following, you may have a gambling problem. Please seek help immediately:

• Gambling with money intended for essential expenses (rent, food, bills)
• Chasing losses by gambling more to recover money you've lost
• Hiding your gambling activities or lying about how much you gamble
• Feeling the need to gamble with increasing amounts of money to get the same excitement
• Unsuccessful attempts to cut back or stop gambling
• Experiencing mood changes, irritability, or anxiety when not gambling
• Neglecting family, work, school, or hobbies due to gambling
• Borrowing money to gamble or pay off gambling debts
• Experiencing relationship problems due to your gambling
• Feeling depressed, anxious, or suicidal as a result of gambling

Self-Help Tools & Features

Most online pokies platforms offer built-in tools to help you manage your gambling responsibly:

• Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit within a specific time period (daily, weekly, or monthly)
• Loss Limits: Set a maximum amount you're willing to lose before stopping play
• Reality Checks: Receive regular pop-up notifications during play to remind you how long you've been gambling and how much you've wagered
• Time Limits: Set a maximum session duration to control how long you play
• Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently exclude yourself from accessing gambling sites when you need a break

We encourage you to use these tools proactively. Set limits before you start playing.
