Responsible Gaming
Gaming Should Be Entertainment
At Dragonfruit, we believe that online pokies should be enjoyed as a form of entertainment only. Gambling should never be viewed as a way to earn money, pay bills, or solve financial problems. If you find yourself relying on gambling as income, it may be time to seek support.
Please gamble responsibly and within your means. Set limits you can afford to lose and stick to them.
Age Verification
You must be at least 18 years of age to use this website and participate in online gaming in Australia. By accessing Dragonfruit, you confirm that you meet the legal age requirement for your jurisdiction.
We take underage gaming seriously and employ strict verification measures to protect minors.
