Responsible Gaming
Gambling Should Be Entertainment, Not Income
At Burn's Point Movie, we believe that online pokies and casino games should only ever be enjoyed as a form of entertainment. Gambling should never be viewed as a way to earn money, pay bills, or solve financial problems. Please gamble responsibly and only with money you can afford to lose.
Age Verification
You must be at least 18 years of age (or the legal gambling age in your jurisdiction) to use our services and place any bets. We take age verification seriously and reserve the right to request proof of identity and age at any time.
Parents and guardians: If you're concerned about a young person's online activity, please monitor their internet usage and speak with them about the risks of gambling.

Self-Help Tools & Responsible Gaming Features
Most reputable online casinos offer tools to help you gamble responsibly. These may include:
- Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit within a specific timeframe (daily, weekly, or monthly)
- Loss Limits: Set a maximum amount you're willing to lose during a session or period
- Reality Checks: Receive periodic reminders of how long you've been gambling and how much you've spent
- Session Time Limits: Automatically end your gaming session after a set duration
- Self-Exclusion: Voluntarily exclude yourself from gambling for a period you choose (typically 6 months to several years)
- Account Pause: Temporarily suspend your account without losing access permanently
We strongly encourage you to use these tools to maintain control over your gambling activity.
