Responsible Gaming
Gaming Should Be Entertainment, Not Income
At Covelliticica, we're committed to promoting responsible gaming practices. Online pokies and casino games should only be viewed as a form of entertainment, not as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. Always gamble within your means and only spend what you can afford to lose.
Remember: the house always has an edge. Games are designed to be unpredictable, and no strategy can guarantee winnings.
Age Verification
Online gaming in Australia is restricted to individuals aged 18 years and over. We strictly enforce age verification to ensure compliance with Australian law. If you are under 18, you are not permitted to access or use our services.
By accessing Covelliticica, you confirm that you are at least 18 years of age.

- Chasing losses by gambling more to recover money lost
- Neglecting family, work, or personal responsibilities due to gambling
- Hiding gambling activities or lying about the amount spent
- Experiencing mood swings or irritability when not gambling
- Using gambling to escape problems, stress, or difficult emotions
- Borrowing money to fund gambling activities
- Inability to reduce or stop gambling despite wanting to
- Feeling anxious or distressed when unable to gamble
- Loss of relationships, jobs, or educational opportunities due to gambling
If you identify with any of these signs, please reach out for support immediately.
