"Have Fun But Play It Safe" Program

In accordance with Government Regulation, all Tatts Pokies venues display responsible gambling posters, machine talkers and brochures in their gaming rooms. This material contains the message "Can you win, Really win, On a Poker machine".

In addition to this, the "Have Fun, But Play It Safe" (HFBPIS) program is part of the Responsible Gaming Policy and is a pro-active program which extends beyond activity required by legislation.

The HFBPIS program is an ongoing initiative designed to encourage responsible gaming practice amongst venue patrons, and to provide visibility and access to independent counselling and advice for those patrons requiring assistance.

All HFBPIS material is prominently displayed in Tatts Pokies venues.
