Responsible Gaming
Gaming Should Be Fun, Not a Source of Income
At Yeti's Comedy, we believe that gaming should only ever be treated as entertainment. Pokies and online gaming are games of chance designed for enjoyment, not as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. Only gamble what you can afford to lose, and never view it as an investment or income source.
Age Verification
You must be at least 18 years of age (or the legal age of majority in your state or territory) to use our services. We take underage gambling seriously and comply with all Australian gaming regulations. If you are under the legal age, please do not proceed.
Proof of age may be requested at any time. Falsifying your age is illegal and may result in account closure and forfeiture of funds.
