Responsible Gaming

Bsb007 Casino is committed to promoting a safer and more informed approach to gambling. Gambling should be treated as entertainment, not as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. Take time to understand the risks, set personal limits and ask for support if gambling stops feeling enjoyable or under control.

Gamble for entertainment

Gambling involves risk, and outcomes are determined by chance. There is no guaranteed strategy, system or pattern that can predict a winning result. Previous wins or losses do not change the odds of a future game. Every wager should be made with the understanding that the money may be lost.

Only gamble with money you can afford to lose after essential costs have been covered. Your rent or mortgage, household bills, food, transport, education, savings and other financial commitments should always come first. Do not use borrowed money, credit intended for essential expenses or funds set aside for someone else to gamble.

A sensible approach is to decide in advance how much time and money you are prepared to spend. Treat that amount as the cost of entertainment rather than an investment. When the limit has been reached, stop playing, even if you are winning or believe a win is about to happen.

Gamble only when you are in a clear and settled state of mind.
Avoid gambling when you are upset, stressed, tired or under the influence of alcohol or other substances.
Never chase losses by increasing bets or playing for longer.
Do not borrow money or sell possessions to continue gambling.
Keep gambling separate from essential household spending.
Take regular breaks and make time for other activities.

Set limits before you play

Planning ahead can make it easier to keep gambling within your personal boundaries. Before starting a session, consider setting a spending limit, a loss limit and a time limit. A deposit or wagering limit can help prevent impulsive decisions, while reminders and breaks can help you remain aware of how long you have been playing.

Choose limits that reflect your real financial circumstances, not an amount based on a hoped-for win. Once a limit is set, do not increase it during a session to recover losses or extend play. Depending on the available account tools, you may be able to request limits, time-outs or other restrictions. Any request should be made before you begin gambling where possible.

Practical ways to stay in control

Decide your maximum spend and playing time before opening a game.
Record deposits, withdrawals and gambling spend so you can see the overall picture.
Use available account controls to restrict deposits, activity or access.
Avoid using multiple accounts or payment methods to get around a personal limit.
Stop immediately if gambling becomes stressful, secretive or difficult to manage.
Review your gambling habits regularly and change your limits if your circumstances change.

Limits are a planning tool, not a guarantee that gambling will be profitable. They cannot remove the risk of loss, and they should not be treated as a way to control game outcomes. If limits no longer feel sufficient, consider taking a longer break or requesting account closure.

Recognise the warning signs

Problem gambling can develop gradually. Some people may not notice a concern until gambling affects their finances, relationships, work, studies or wellbeing. You do not need to wait for a crisis before seeking help. Early support can make it easier to regain control.

Consider whether any of the following signs apply to you. One sign does not necessarily mean that you have a gambling problem, but several signs may indicate that it is time to pause and speak with a qualified support service.

Spending more money or time gambling than you originally planned.
Trying to win back losses by gambling more often or placing larger bets.
Thinking about gambling throughout the day or finding it difficult to concentrate on other matters.
Feeling restless, irritable or anxious when attempting to cut down or stop.
Hiding gambling activity, losses or transactions from family, friends or other people you trust.
Borrowing money, missing payments or using essential funds because of gambling.
Gambling to escape stress, loneliness, sadness, anger or other difficult feelings.
Arguing with people close to you because of gambling.
Missing work, study, family commitments or sleep due to gambling.
Continuing to gamble despite financial, emotional, social or relationship problems.

If you recognise these behaviours, stop gambling and consider restricting access to your account. Talk honestly with someone you trust and seek advice from an independent gambling support service in your state or territory. Financial counselling and mental health support may also be appropriate. If you feel unsafe or are experiencing an immediate crisis, contact emergency services or an urgent support service in Australia.

Taking a break or closing your account

A break from gambling can help you reflect on your habits and priorities. If you would prefer not to gamble for a period of time, use any available time-out or account restriction options. For a longer-term approach, you can request that your account be closed or ask for access to be restricted. Account restrictions should be requested before gambling and should not be removed simply to continue play.

If you have asked for your account to be closed because gambling is causing harm or feels difficult to control, do not create another account or use another person’s account. Let people close to you know that you are taking a break if that will help you remain accountable. You can also remove saved payment details, block gambling-related access where possible and seek independent support.

Support for family and friends

Gambling can affect partners, family members and friends as well as the person gambling. If someone close to you is struggling, choose a calm time to explain what you have noticed without judgement. Encourage them to speak with a qualified support service, but remember that you cannot control another person’s gambling. Protect your own finances, avoid covering repeated losses and seek support for yourself if the situation is affecting your wellbeing.

Age and account safety

Gambling is for adults who meet the applicable age and identity requirements. Do not allow children or other unauthorised people to access your account. Keep passwords, payment information and devices secure, and log out when you have finished. If you believe another person has used your account, stop gambling and contact the available account support channel as soon as possible.

Bsb007 Casino encourages every player to make informed decisions and to seek help early. Independent support is available across Australia through gambling help services, financial counsellors, mental health professionals and community organisations. You do not have to manage gambling concerns alone.
