Responsible Gaming
Gaming Should Be Entertainment, Not Income
At Trace Shooting, we believe PayID pokies should be enjoyed as a form of entertainment only. Gambling should never be viewed as a way to earn money, pay bills, or solve financial problems. It's important to gamble only with money you can afford to lose and to maintain a healthy balance in your life.
We are committed to promoting responsible gaming practices and supporting our Australian players in maintaining control over their gambling habits.
Age Verification
Pokies and online gambling are only available to persons aged 18 years and over in Australia. By using this website and accessing PayID pokies services, you confirm that you are at least 18 years of age and meet all legal requirements in your jurisdiction.
We reserve the right to request proof of age at any time. If you are under 18, please do not use our services.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
Recognise the warning signs of problem gambling. If you experience any of the following, it may be time to seek help:

- ☐ Gambling with money intended for essential expenses (rent, bills, food)
- ☐ Hiding gambling activities or lying to friends and family
- ☐ Feeling anxious or irritable when unable to gamble
- ☐ Gambling for longer periods than intended
- ☐ Neglecting work, study, or personal relationships due to gambling
- ☐ Borrowing money to finance gambling activities
- ☐ Continuing to gamble despite negative consequences
- ☐ Needing to gamble with larger amounts to achieve the same excitement
- ☐ Failed attempts to reduce or stop gambling
If you recognise any of these signs in yourself or someone you know, professional help is available.
