Responsible Gaming
Gaming Should Be Entertainment
At Carpe Dividendum, we believe that online pokies and casino gaming should be enjoyed as entertainment only. Gambling is not a way to earn money or solve financial problems. Play responsibly and only with money you can afford to lose.
Age Verification
You must be at least 18 years of age (or the legal gambling age in your Australian state or territory) to access and use our services. We take age verification seriously and comply with all local regulations.
If you are under the legal age, please do not proceed. Gambling is not for minors.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
Recognise these warning signs in yourself or others:
- Chasing losses by gambling more to recover money lost
- Spending more time and money on gambling than intended

- Gambling to escape problems, stress, or negative emotions
- Borrowing money or using credit to fund gambling
- Neglecting family, work, or personal relationships due to gambling
- Failed attempts to cut back or stop gambling
- Experiencing financial difficulties or debt related to gambling
If you recognise any of these signs, seek help immediately.
