Responsible Gaming
At DragonLinkPokie.com.au, we are committed to promoting responsible gambling. While pokies like Dragon Link are designed to be entertaining, we recognise that gambling can become harmful for some individuals. This page provides guidance, tools, and resources.
Gambling Should Be Entertainment
Pokies, including Dragon Link, are a form of entertainment — not a source of income. Every spin is determined by a certified Random Number Generator (RNG), and no strategy can guarantee consistent profits. Approach every session with a clear budget and time limit set in advance.
Signs of Problem Gambling
- Spending more money or time gambling than you planned
- Chasing losses by placing larger bets to win back money
- Neglecting work, family, or social commitments due to gambling
- Feeling anxious, depressed, or irritable when not gambling
- Borrowing money or selling possessions to fund gambling
- Hiding gambling activity from friends or family
Practical Tips for Safer Play
- Set a budget before you start and stop when it is spent
- Set a time limit and use alarms to track your session
- Never chase losses – accept them as the cost of entertainment
- Avoid gambling when emotional – stress and alcohol impair judgement
- Take regular breaks to stay in control
- Use self-exclusion tools offered by your casino provider
