Responsible Gaming
Gaming Should Be Entertainment
At Yerong Tong, we believe that online pokies should be enjoyed as a form of entertainment only, not as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. If you find yourself gambling to make money or recover losses, it may be time to reassess your relationship with gaming.
Please gamble responsibly and within your means. Set a budget before you play and stick to it.
Age Verification
In Australia, you must be at least 18 years of age to access and use online pokies services. By using Yerong Tong, you confirm that you are of legal age in your jurisdiction.
We take age verification seriously and reserve the right to request proof of identity at any time.
