At Andeanmining, we believe that pokies and online casino games should always be a source of entertainment — never a source of stress, financial hardship, or harm. Lachlan Drummond and the entire Andeanmining team are genuinely committed to promoting safe, responsible gambling for every Australian player who visits andeanmining.com.au. This page exists not as a formality, but because we care deeply about the people behind every spin.
Gambling carries real risks. Understanding those risks, recognising the warning signs early, and knowing where to turn for help are the foundations of responsible gaming. Please read this page carefully and share it with anyone you know who may need support.
Before you play any PayID pokies or casino game, ground yourself in this reality: gambling outcomes are determined by chance. No strategy, system, or timing guarantees a win. Always gamble with money you can afford to lose, set firm limits before you start, and never chase losses. If the fun stops, stop.
Andeanmining enforces a strict 18+ only policy across all content and recommendations. Online gambling is illegal for anyone under the age of 18 in Australia. All licensed Australian-facing casinos we review are required to perform robust age verification checks before allowing any player to deposit or play. If you are under 18, please leave this site immediately. If you are a parent or guardian, we strongly recommend using parental control software such as Net Nanny or Gamban to restrict access to gambling websites.
Problem gambling can develop gradually and is not always easy to recognise in yourself. The following signs may indicate that gambling has moved beyond healthy entertainment:
Ask yourself these honest questions. If you answer yes to two or more, we encourage you to seek support:
Set daily, weekly, or monthly deposit limits directly in your casino account settings. This hard cap prevents you from spending beyond a pre-agreed amount and is one of the most effective tools for staying in control. Responsible casinos make this easy to activate and require a cooling-off period before any limit increase takes effect.
Enable on-screen reality check reminders that notify you of how long you have been playing and how much you have spent. These brief interruptions help you make conscious, informed decisions rather than playing on autopilot.
A cooling-off period temporarily suspends your account for a chosen duration — typically 24 hours to 6 weeks. Use this tool whenever you feel your gambling is becoming impulsive or you simply need a break.
Self-exclusion allows you to block yourself from accessing a casino platform for an extended period, often between six months and five years. In Australia, the National Self-Exclusion Register and individual state-based schemes provide additional layers of protection. Contact your casino's support team or your state gaming regulator to activate self-exclusion immediately.
