Responsible Gaming
Gaming Should Be Entertainment, Not Income
At Yes Please Perth, we believe that online gaming through Playamo should be enjoyed as a form of entertainment only. Gambling should never be considered a way to earn money or solve financial problems. Always gamble within your means and only with money you can afford to lose.
Age Verification
It is illegal to gamble in Australia if you are under 18 years of age. Playamo requires all users to be at least 18 years old or the legal gambling age in your jurisdiction, whichever is higher. By accessing Playamo through our site, you confirm that you meet these age requirements.
If you are under 18, you must not use Playamo or any other gambling service.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
If you experience any of the following, you may be developing a gambling problem:
- Spending more time or money on gambling than intended
- Chasing losses by gambling more to recover money lost
- Lying to family, friends, or others about your gambling activities
- Hiding gambling habits or secret gambling accounts
- Gambling to escape problems, stress, or negative emotions
- Neglecting work, study, family, or relationships due to gambling
- Borrowing money or going into debt to gamble
- Feeling anxious, irritable, or depressed when unable to gamble
- Unsuccessful attempts to cut back or stop gambling
- Jeopardising important relationships, job, or educational opportunities
If any of these apply to you, seeking help is important and encouraged.
Self-Help Tools and Controls
Playamo offers several tools to help you maintain control of your gaming:
- Deposit Limits: Set a daily, weekly, or monthly limit on the amount you can deposit
- Loss Limits: Restrict the amount you can lose within a specified timeframe
- 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 Playamo for a set period

We encourage you to use these tools proactively to support responsible gaming habits.
