Responsible Gaming
Gaming Should Be Entertainment
At Cameron Taylor MX, we're committed to promoting responsible gaming practices. Pokies and online gaming should be enjoyed as a form of entertainment only, not as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. Please gamble within your means and only with money you can afford to lose.
Age Verification
All players must be at least 18 years of age to participate in gaming activities in Australia. By accessing our site, you confirm that you are of legal age in your jurisdiction. We take age verification seriously and reserve the right to request proof of age at any time.

Do you recognise any of these warning signs in yourself or someone you know?
- Chasing losses by gambling more money to recover losses

Self-Help Tools & Controls
Most reputable gaming platforms offer tools to help you stay in control:
- Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you're willing to deposit in a specified time period
- Loss Limits: Cap the amount you're prepared to lose daily, weekly, or monthly
- Reality Checks: Enable pop-up reminders about how long you've been playing and how much you've spent
- Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently exclude yourself from gaming sites
- Time-Out: Take a mandatory break from gaming for a set period
Use these tools proactively to maintain healthy gaming habits.
