Responsible Gaming
Our Commitment to Safe Gaming
At Centreway Arcade, we're committed to promoting responsible gaming practices. Gambling should always be viewed as entertainment, not as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. Please gamble responsibly and within your means.
Age Verification
You must be at least 18 years of age or the legal gambling age in your state or territory to access and use our services. We take age verification seriously and comply with all Australian gambling regulations. If you are under the legal age, please do not use our platform.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
If you recognise any of these warning signs in yourself or someone else, it may be time to seek help:
- Spending more money or time on gambling than intended
- Chasing losses by gambling more to recover money lost
- Hiding gambling activity or lying about the extent of your gambling
- Feeling anxious, irritable, or restless when trying to cut down or stop gambling

- Relying on gambling to cope with stress, anxiety, or low mood
- Losing interest in hobbies or activities you once enjoyed

Self-Help Tools
Most reputable gaming platforms offer tools to help you maintain control. Consider using:
- Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you're willing to spend per day, week, or month
- Loss Limits: Set a threshold for total losses before you stop playing
- Reality Checks: Enable reminders during gaming sessions to help you stay aware of time and money spent
- Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently exclude yourself from gaming platforms
