Responsible Gaming
Gaming Should Be Fun, Not a Financial Solution
At take2eggs.net, we believe that online pokies and gaming should be enjoyed as entertainment only. Gambling is never a reliable way to earn money or solve financial problems. The odds always favour the house, and losses are a real possibility every time you play.
If you choose to gamble, do so responsibly and within your means. Set a budget you can afford to lose, and stick to it.
Age Verification
You must be at least 18 years of age (or the legal gambling age in your jurisdiction) to use take2eggs.net and participate in online pokies or gaming activities.
We take age verification seriously and reserve the right to request proof of age at any time. Underage gambling is illegal and harmful.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
If you recognise any of the following warning signs in yourself or someone else, problem gambling may be developing:
- Chasing losses: Spending more money trying to recover gambling losses
- Hiding gambling: Concealing gambling activities from family, friends, or partners
- Gambling with money you can't afford to lose: Using rent, bill, or essential expense money to gamble
- Increasing amounts: Needing to spend more money to get the same level of excitement
- Neglecting responsibilities: Missing work, school, or family commitments due to gambling
- Failed attempts to stop: Repeatedly trying and failing to reduce or quit gambling
- Borrowing money to gamble: Taking loans or using credit to fund gambling activity
- Mood changes: Becoming irritable, anxious, or depressed when unable to gamble
- Lying about gambling: Dishonesty with loved ones about the extent of your gambling
- Neglecting health or relationships: Gambling becoming more important than personal wellbeing
If you identify with any of these signs, please reach out for support immediately.
