Responsible Gaming
Our Commitment to Safe Gaming
Gaming Should Be Entertainment
At Trees for Mum, we believe that online pokies and casino gaming should only ever be viewed as entertainment, not as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. If you find yourself relying on gambling as income or a solution to money troubles, it's time to seek help.
Please gamble responsibly and within your means. Set limits on what you're willing to spend and stick to them.
Age Verification
In Australia, you must be 18 years of age or older to access and use online pokies and casino services. We take age verification seriously and reserve the right to request proof of age at any time.
If you are under 18, please do not use this website or engage in any gambling activities.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
Do you recognise any of these signs in yourself or someone you know? This may indicate problem gambling:
- Chasing losses — gambling more to recover money you've lost
- Hiding your gambling from friends, family, or partners
- Gambling with money needed for essentials (rent, food, bills)
- Spending more time and money on gambling than intended
- Feeling anxious, irritable, or depressed when not gambling
- Lying about the amount of time or money spent on gambling
- Borrowing money to fund gambling activities
- Neglecting work, school, family, or social responsibilities
- Unsuccessful attempts to cut down or stop gambling
- Using gambling to escape problems or cope with difficult emotions
If you've identified with several of these signs, please reach out for support immediately.
Self-Help Tools & Responsible Gaming Features
Most licensed online casinos offer tools to help you maintain control:
- Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit within a specified timeframe (daily, weekly, or monthly)
- Loss Limits: Cap the maximum amount you're willing to lose in a given period
- Time-Out/Reality Checks: Take breaks from gambling with automated reminders and session time limits
- Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently exclude yourself from accessing gambling websites
- Account Closure: Permanently close your account if you wish to stop gambling entirely
Use these tools to protect yourself and maintain control over your gambling habits.
