Responsible Gaming
Our Commitment to Safe Gaming
At jennybrokethewindow.com, we're committed to promoting responsible gaming practices. Online poker should be enjoyed as entertainment only — never as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. If you choose to play, please do so within your means and for enjoyment.
Age Verification
Online poker is strictly for players aged 18 years and over in Australia. We are legally required to verify your age before you can access any gaming services. If you are under 18, please do not attempt to register or play. Parents and guardians concerned about underage gambling should contact their local authorities or support services.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
Do you recognise any of these warning signs in yourself or someone you know?
- Gambling with money you can't afford to lose
- Chasing losses by gambling more to win back lost money
- Hiding gambling activities or lying about time spent gambling
- Gambling to escape problems, stress, or negative emotions
- Neglecting family, work, or personal responsibilities due to gambling
- Borrowing money or using credit to fund gambling
- Experiencing mood swings or irritability when unable to gamble
- Increasing the amount wagered to feel the same excitement
- Failed attempts to cut down or stop gambling
- Feeling anxious or depressed about gambling debts
If you recognise these signs, help is available. Please reach out to a support organisation immediately.
Self-Help Tools & Safety Features
Most reputable online poker operators offer tools to help you stay in control:
- Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you're willing to deposit within a specific timeframe
- Loss Limits: Cap the amount you're prepared to lose in a session or week
- Reality Checks: Receive periodic reminders of how long you've been playing
- Time-Out/Cool-Off: Take a break from gaming for hours or days
- Self-Exclusion: Voluntarily exclude yourself from an operator for a set period or permanently
- Account Closure: Permanently close your account if needed
Use these tools proactively. Set limits before you play, not during or after a losing session.
