Responsible Gaming
Gaming Should Be Entertainment, Not Income
At Soundwave Rewards, we believe online pokies and casino gaming should be enjoyed purely as entertainment. Gambling is never a reliable way to earn money or solve financial problems. Only gamble with money you can afford to lose, and always play within your limits.
Age Verification
You must be at least 18 years of age (or the legal gambling age in your state or territory) to use our services. We are committed to preventing underage gambling and comply with all Australian gaming regulations. If you are under the legal age, please do not access gaming sites or participate in gambling activities.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
If you experience any of the following, you may have a gambling problem:
- Chasing losses by gambling with more money to recover what you've lost
- Hiding your gambling activities or lying about how much you gamble
- Gambling with money needed for essentials (rent, bills, food, medication)
- Feeling anxious, irritable, or restless when trying to reduce gambling
- Neglecting family, work, education, or other important responsibilities
- Borrowing money to gamble or pay gambling debts
- Repeatedly trying and failing to cut back or stop gambling
- Spending more time and money on gambling than intended
- Using gambling to escape stress, depression, anxiety, or other problems
- Experiencing relationship problems due to gambling
Self-Help Tools & Responsible Gaming Features
Most online gaming platforms offer tools to help you stay in control:
- Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit within a daily, weekly, or monthly period
- Loss Limits: Set a limit on how much you're willing to lose during a gaming session

- Self-Exclusion: Voluntarily exclude yourself from gaming sites for a set period or indefinitely
