Responsible Gambling

BuffaloPokie.com.au is committed to promoting responsible gambling. The information on this page is designed to help you keep gambling fun and within healthy boundaries. If gambling has stopped being entertainment and started causing concern, please seek help immediately.

Know the Facts

  • Gambling is a form of entertainment, not a way to make money
  • The house always has a mathematical edge over time
  • Past results do not influence future outcomes on any pokie machine
  • Buffalo pokie has an RTP of 94.85% – the house retains 5.15% over the long term
  • Free spins and bonuses do not guarantee profits

Signs of Problem Gambling

You may have a gambling problem if you:

  • Spend more money or time gambling than you intended
  • Gamble to escape problems or relieve feelings of anxiety or depression
  • Chase losses to try to win back money
  • Lie to family or friends about your gambling
  • Borrow money or sell possessions to fund gambling
  • Feel restless or irritable when trying to cut down or stop
