Responsible Gaming

Gaming Should Be Entertainment

At ymstonemason.com, we believe that online gaming should be an enjoyable form of entertainment, not a way to earn money or solve financial problems. Pokies and casino games are games of chance with a house edge. While we want you to have fun, it's important to gamble responsibly and within your means.

Remember: Only gamble with money you can afford to lose, and never chase your losses.

Age Verification

In Australia, you must be 18 years of age or older to participate in gaming activities. We are committed to preventing underage gambling and comply with all relevant Australian gaming regulations.

By accessing our site, you confirm that you are of legal age to gamble in your jurisdiction and that you have read and accepted our terms and conditions.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

Problem gambling can affect anyone. If you recognise any of the following signs in yourself or someone you know, it may be time to seek help:

• Gambling more frequently or with larger amounts than intended
• Chasing losses by gambling more to win back money
• Hiding gambling activity or lying about how much you gamble
• Neglecting family, work, or other responsibilities due to gambling
• Experiencing financial difficulties or borrowing money to gamble
• Feeling anxious, irritable, or restless when trying to reduce gambling
• Using gambling to escape problems or relieve stress
• Failed attempts to control or stop gambling
• Relationship conflicts caused by gambling habits

If any of these apply to you, please reach out for support today.
