Responsible Gaming
Our Commitment to Responsible Gaming
At Styled with Brittany, we are committed to promoting responsible gaming practices. While PayID pokies can provide entertainment and enjoyment, it's crucial to remember that gambling should never be viewed as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. Pokies are games of chance designed for entertainment purposes only.
Age Verification
You must be at least 18 years old, or the legal gambling age in your Australian state or territory, to participate in online pokies. If you are under the legal age in your jurisdiction, please do not engage in gambling activities. We encourage parents and guardians to monitor online activity and discuss the risks of gambling with young people.

If you recognise any of the following warning signs in yourself or someone you know, seek help immediately:

- Spending more time and money on gambling than intended
- Hiding gambling activity or lying about how much you're gambling
- Experiencing mood swings or irritability when trying to cut back

Self-Help Tools & Safer Gambling Features
Most reputable online pokies providers offer tools to help you maintain control:
- Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit within a specified time period (daily, weekly, monthly)
- Loss Limits: Set a limit on how much you're willing to lose in a session or time period
- Reality Checks: Receive notifications during play reminding you how long you've been gambling
- Session Time Limits: Set automatic session end times to prevent extended play
- Self-Exclusion: Take a break from gambling by self-excluding for a set period, preventing access to your account
Always use these tools proactively and adjust them as needed to match your budget and lifestyle.
