Responsible Gaming
Gaming Should Be Fun, Not a Financial Solution
At The Future Set, we're committed to promoting responsible gaming practices. PayID pokies and online gaming should be enjoyed purely as entertainment, not as a way to make money or solve financial problems. If you find yourself relying on gambling to pay bills or recover losses, it's time to seek help.
Age Verification
You must be 18 years of age or older to access and participate in online gaming in Australia. The Future Set is committed to preventing underage gambling. If you are under 18, please do not use our services.
By using our website, you confirm that you are of legal age to gamble in your jurisdiction.

Self-Help Tools & Responsible Gaming Features
Most reputable gaming operators offer tools to help you maintain control:
- Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you're willing to spend over a specific period (daily, weekly, or monthly)
- Loss Limits: Cap the amount you're prepared to lose
- Reality Checks: Receive periodic reminders about how long you've been playing and how much you've spent
- Time-Out/Cool-Off Periods: Take a break from gaming for a set duration (hours, days, or weeks)

We strongly encourage you to use these tools if you feel your gambling may be getting out of control.
