Responsible Gaming
Gambling Should Be Entertainment
At 24sevenit.com, we're committed to promoting responsible gaming practices. Gambling should only ever be viewed as entertainment, never as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. PayID pokies and all forms of gambling carry inherent risks, and it's important to play within your means and set limits before you start.
If you find yourself struggling with your gambling habits, help is available and seeking support is a sign of strength, not weakness.
Age Verification
You must be at least 18 years of age (or the legal gambling age in your jurisdiction) to use PayID pokies or any gambling service on 24sevenit.com. We take age verification seriously and may request proof of identity. Gambling is not permitted for anyone under the legal age.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
Do any of these apply to you? If so, it may be time to seek help:
- Chasing losses — trying to recover money you've lost by gambling more
- Hiding gambling activity from family, friends, or partners
- Gambling with money needed for essential expenses (rent, bills, food)
- Borrowing money to gamble or cover gambling debts
- Neglecting work, school, or family responsibilities due to gambling
- Feeling anxious or irritable when unable to gamble
- Gambling for longer periods than intended
- Failed attempts to cut down or stop gambling
- Using gambling to escape problems or negative emotions
- Lying about the amount of time or money spent gambling
If you've noticed any of these signs in your own behaviour, we encourage you to reach out for support immediately.
Self-Help Tools & Limits
Most reputable online gaming platforms, including those offering PayID pokies, provide built-in tools to help you stay in control:
- Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit within a specific timeframe (daily, weekly, or monthly)
- Loss Limits: Cap the amount of money you're willing to lose in a session
- Betting Limits: Restrict the maximum amount you can wager per spin or bet
- Reality Checks: Enable regular pop-up reminders showing your session duration and spending
- Self-Exclusion: Voluntarily ban yourself from accessing gambling services for a set period
- Time Limits: Set automatic logout timers to prevent extended play sessions
We strongly recommend using these tools as part of your responsible gaming strategy.
