Responsible Gaming
Gaming Should Be Entertainment
At lazy-butterfly.com, we believe that online pokies and casino gaming should be enjoyed purely as entertainment. Gaming is not a way to earn money or solve financial problems. It should never be viewed as a source of income or investment. Always gamble only with money you can afford to lose, and set strict limits on your time and spending.
Age Verification
Online gambling in Australia is only for players aged 18 years and over. It is your responsibility to ensure you meet the legal age requirement in your jurisdiction before accessing our services. We take age verification seriously and reserve the right to request proof of identity at any time.

If you recognise any of the following signs in your gaming behaviour, please seek help immediately:

- Gambling with money needed for essential expenses (rent, food, bills)
- Hiding your gambling activity or lying about the amount spent
- Feeling anxious or irritable when unable to gamble
- Gambling for longer periods than intended
- Neglecting family, work, or social responsibilities due to gambling
- Borrowing money or going into debt to fund gambling
- Failed attempts to cut down or stop gambling
