Gaming Should Be Fun, Not a Financial Strategy
At georgetix.com, we believe online pokies should be enjoyed as entertainment only. Gambling should never be viewed as a way to earn money, pay bills, or solve financial problems. Set a budget you can afford to lose and stick to it.
Age Verification
Online pokies are only available to persons aged 18 years and over in Australia. By accessing georgetix.com, you confirm that you are of legal age in your jurisdiction and comply with all applicable laws.
We do not permit access to minors under any circumstances.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
If you experience any of the following, you may be developing a gambling problem:
- Chasing losses by gambling more to recover money lost
- Gambling with money needed for essentials (rent, food, bills)
- Hiding your gambling activities or lying about the time and money spent
- Feeling anxious, irritable, or restless when unable to gamble
- Needing to gamble with increasing amounts to achieve the same excitement
- Neglecting family, work, or personal relationships due to gambling
- Borrowing money to fund gambling activities
- Unsuccessful attempts to cut back or stop gambling
- Using gambling to escape problems or negative emotions
- Experiencing financial difficulties as a result of gambling
If any of these apply to you, please seek support immediately.
Self-Help Tools & Limits
Most reputable online pokies platforms offer built-in tools to help you gamble responsibly:
- Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit within a specific timeframe
- Loss Limits: Set a maximum amount you are willing to lose
- Session Time Limits: Receive reminders or automatic logout after a set period
- Reality Checks: Pop-up notifications showing time spent and money wagered

Use these tools proactively to maintain control over your gambling habits.
