Responsible Gaming
Our Commitment to Responsible Gaming
At Great American Nightmare, we are committed to promoting responsible gaming practices. Online pokies should be enjoyed as entertainment only, not as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. We encourage all players to gamble within their means and to seek help if gambling becomes a concern.
Age Verification
All players must be at least 18 years of age (or the legal gambling age in your jurisdiction) to access our site and participate in online pokies. We take age verification seriously and reserve the right to request proof of identity. If you are under 18, please do not use this website.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
If you recognize any of the following signs in yourself or someone you know, it may be time to seek help:
- Chasing losses by gambling more to recover money lost
- Gambling with money intended for essential expenses (rent, bills, food)
- Hiding gambling activity or lying about time and money spent
- Feeling anxious or irritable when unable to gamble
- Needing to gamble with increasing amounts to achieve the same excitement
- Failed attempts to cut down or stop gambling
- Using gambling to escape problems, stress, or negative emotions
- Borrowing money to gamble or repay gambling debts
- Relationship problems or loss of friendships due to gambling
- Neglecting work, school, or family responsibilities
Self-Help Tools
We provide several tools to help you maintain control of your gaming:
- Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit within a specified timeframe
- Loss Limits: Set a maximum amount you are willing to lose in a session or timeframe
- Reality Checks: Receive periodic reminders during play sessions about how long you have been playing and how much you have spent
- Time-Out: Take a break from gambling for a set period
- Self-Exclusion: Voluntarily exclude yourself from accessing your account for an extended period
For more information on how to use these tools, please contact our support team.
