Responsible Gaming

Gaming Should Be Entertainment

At Adorned by Xena, we believe that playing Royal Reels pokies should be enjoyed as entertainment only, not as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. If you find yourself gambling to make money or recover losses, it's time to seek help.

Please gamble responsibly and within your means. Set limits on time and money spent, and always play for fun.

Age Verification

You must be at least 18 years of age (or the legal gambling age in your Australian state or territory) to access pokies and gambling services on this website. By continuing, you confirm that you meet this age requirement and are legally permitted to gamble in your jurisdiction.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

Problem gambling can affect anyone. If you recognise any of these warning signs in yourself or someone you know, seek help immediately:

• Spending more money or time gambling than intended
• Chasing losses by gambling more to recover money lost
• Hiding gambling activities or lying about the amount spent
• Neglecting family, work, or personal responsibilities due to gambling
• Borrowing money or using credit to fund gambling
• Feeling anxious, irritable, or depressed when not gambling
• Unsuccessful attempts to cut back or stop gambling
• Using gambling to escape problems or negative feelings
• Jeopardising relationships, education, or employment opportunities
• Experiencing financial difficulties due to gambling

Self-Help Tools & Safer Gaming Features

Most reputable online casinos offer tools to help you stay in control. Consider using:

• Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit within a specific period (daily, weekly, or monthly)
• Loss Limits: Restrict the maximum amount you're willing to lose in a session
• Time-Out / Reality Checks: Take regular breaks with reminders of your gaming duration and spending
• Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently exclude yourself from gambling platforms
• Gaming History: Review your spending and gambling activity regularly
• Cooling-Off Periods: Request a mandatory break before reactivating your account

Always use these tools proactively to maintain healthy gambling habits.
