Responsible Gaming

Gambling Should Be Entertainment

At Live on Stage Touring, we believe that online gaming should be enjoyed as a form of entertainment only, not as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. PayID pokies and other gambling activities carry real financial risk. Please gamble responsibly and within your means.

Remember: the odds always favour the house. Only spend what you can afford to lose.

Age Verification

In Australia, you must be 18 years of age or older to engage in gambling activities. We are committed to preventing underage gambling and comply with all Australian regulations.

If you are under 18, please do not use PayID pokies or any gambling services on this website. Parents and guardians are encouraged to implement appropriate controls and monitoring.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

If you notice any of the following signs in yourself or someone else, it may indicate problem gambling:

• Chasing losses by gambling more to recover money you've lost
• Gambling with money needed for essential expenses (rent, food, bills)
• Hiding gambling activities or lying about the amount of time or money spent
• Feeling anxious, irritable, or restless when not gambling
• Experiencing difficulty controlling gambling or unsuccessful attempts to reduce gambling
• Neglecting work, study, family, or social responsibilities due to gambling
• Borrowing money or accumulating debt to fund gambling
• Gambling as a way to escape problems, stress, or negative emotions
• Relationships suffering due to gambling behaviour

If you recognise any of these warning signs, please seek help immediately.

Self-Help Tools

Most reputable online gambling platforms offer tools to help you maintain control:

• Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you're willing to deposit within a specified timeframe (daily, weekly, or monthly)
• Loss Limits: Set a maximum amount of losses you're willing to accept before taking a break
• Reality Checks: Request regular reminders during your gambling session about how long you've been playing and how much you've spent
• Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently exclude yourself from gambling platforms when you feel you've lost control
• Time Limits: Set alarms or reminders to take breaks and step away from gambling

Take advantage of these tools to help maintain responsible gambling habits. Contact your service provider if you need assistance enabling these features.
