Responsible Gaming
Gaming Should Be Entertainment
At Dirty Wolves, we believe that online pokies and casino games should be enjoyed as a form of entertainment only. Gambling should never be seen as a way to earn money, pay bills, or solve financial problems. If you find yourself gambling to make money or recover losses, it's time to seek help.
Please gamble responsibly and within your means. Set a budget you can afford to lose and stick to it.
Age Verification
You must be 18 years of age or older to gamble on Dirty Wolves. This is a legal requirement in Australia. If you are under 18, please do not use this website.
We take age verification seriously and reserve the right to request proof of age at any time.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
Do you recognise any of these warning signs? If so, you may have a gambling problem:
- Gambling with money you cannot afford to lose

If you recognise these signs in yourself or someone you know, help is available.
