Responsible Gaming
Gaming Should Be Entertainment
At Blazing Saddles Chilli Plants, we believe that pokies and online gaming should be enjoyed as a form of entertainment only, not as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. While gaming can be fun and exciting, it's important to approach it responsibly and within your means.
Please gamble within your budget and never spend money you cannot afford to lose. If you find yourself struggling to control your gaming habits, help is available.
Age Verification
Gaming on this website is strictly for persons aged 18 years and over, or the legal age of majority in your Australian state or territory. By accessing our site, you confirm that you meet these age requirements.
We take age verification seriously and reserve the right to request proof of age at any time.

- Using gaming to escape problems or regulate mood (stress, anxiety, depression)
- Feeling restless or irritable when trying to reduce gaming
- Failed attempts to cut back or stop gaming
- Lying about the amount of time or money spent gaming
- Experiencing relationship or financial difficulties due to gaming
