Responsible Play

Free AU Games involves no real money. But we care about how our players engage with gaming in all its forms — and the wellbeing of everyone who visits this site.

Important: Free AU Games is a free social gaming platform with no real money. We are not a licensed gambling operator and are not regulated by any gambling authority. The support resources listed on this page relate to real-money gambling harm — we provide them because slot-style entertainment can feel similar to real gambling for some people, and we want anyone who needs help to know where to find it.

Mindful Gaming Tips

Play for entertainment

Treat gaming as a fun activity — not a way to relieve stress, earn money, or escape problems.

Set time limits

Decide how long you will play before you start. Use a timer if it helps. Take regular breaks.

Take regular breaks

Step away from the screen periodically. Even short breaks help you stay aware of how much time you are spending.

Stay grounded

Remember that outcomes in slot-style games are random and independent. Past results do not predict future ones.

Do not play when upset

Gaming while stressed, anxious, or low can make it harder to make clear-headed decisions about when to stop.

Know the difference

This site uses no real money. But if you play real-money gambling elsewhere, the same principles apply — and the stakes are higher.

Signs That Gambling May Be a Problem

The following relate to real-money gambling, not to this free game. However, if you recognise any of these patterns in your wider gaming or gambling habits, speaking to a professional can help.

  • Spending more time or money on gambling than intended
  • Using gambling to cope with stress, anxiety, or low mood
  • Chasing losses — continuing to gamble to win back what you have lost
  • Lying to others about the extent of your gambling
  • Neglecting work, family, or other responsibilities due to gambling
  • Feeling irritable or restless when not gambling
  • Borrowing money to fund gambling activity
