Responsible Gaming
Keep gambling in perspective
Gambling involves risk, and there is no guaranteed way to win. Games are designed so that outcomes are uncertain, and the house may have a mathematical advantage over time. A win is never assured, regardless of previous results, the amount you spend or how long you have been playing. Past losses do not make a future win more likely.
Before you play, decide whether gambling fits within your entertainment budget. Only use money that you can afford to lose after essential costs such as housing, food, utilities, transport, education and other commitments have been paid. Never use borrowed money, credit intended for necessities or money set aside for important expenses to gamble.
- Set a spending limit before you begin and avoid increasing it while playing.
- Set a time limit and take regular breaks away from your device.
- Do not chase losses or continue playing to try to get back money already lost.
- Avoid gambling when you are upset, stressed, tired, under the influence of alcohol or affected by medication.
- Treat gambling as entertainment, not as employment, an investment or a source of income.
- Keep track of your deposits, withdrawals, wins, losses and time spent playing.
- Make sure gambling does not interfere with work, study, family life, sleep or other activities.
It can help to discuss your limits with someone you trust. An honest conversation with a partner, family member or friend may make it easier to stay accountable and notice changes in your behaviour.
Recognise the warning signs
Problem gambling can develop gradually. You may not notice the change immediately, and there is no single level of gambling that defines a problem. The important question is whether gambling is causing concern, loss of control or negative effects in your life.
You may need to take a break if you:
- Spend more time or money gambling than you intended.
- Think about gambling frequently or feel distracted by it during the day.
- Try to hide, minimise or mislead others about your gambling.
- Feel restless, irritable or uncomfortable when you try to stop.
- Keep increasing the amount you wager to achieve the same excitement.
- Gamble to escape stress, sadness, loneliness, anxiety or other difficult feelings.
- Borrow money, sell belongings or miss payments because of gambling.
- Return to gambling after deciding to stop or reduce your play.
- Chase losses by placing larger or more frequent bets.
- Experience arguments, relationship difficulties, work problems or financial pressure linked to gambling.
If any of these signs feel familiar, stop playing and consider speaking with a qualified gambling support service. You do not need to wait for the situation to become serious before asking for help. Support is confidential, and professional guidance can help you understand your options and make a plan.
Tools and steps to help you stay in control
Practical controls can make it easier to follow the limits you set. Depending on what is available on your account, you may be able to use responsible gambling features such as deposit limits, wagering or spending limits, session reminders, time-outs and account self-exclusion. These tools are intended to support your decisions, but they do not remove the risks associated with gambling.
Consider the following steps:
- Choose a limit that is affordable and reflects your personal circumstances.
- Set the limit before playing, rather than waiting until you feel excited or frustrated.
- Use reminders to check how long you have been active and how much you have spent.
- Take a short time-out if you feel the urge to chase losses or increase your bets.
- Use a longer break or self-exclusion if you want to stop gambling for a defined period or indefinitely.
- Remove saved payment details and reduce access to gambling websites or applications if this supports your plan.
- Tell a trusted person about your decision and ask them to help you maintain it.
- Review your bank statements and household budget regularly so that gambling spending remains visible.
A self-exclusion request is a serious step to prevent access to gambling services for a chosen period or, where available, indefinitely. If you believe you need self-exclusion, use the relevant account option or contact the operator through the available support channel. Do not create another account or use another person’s account to bypass a restriction. Account controls may take effect according to the applicable process, so stop playing while your request is being considered.
If someone close to you is affected by gambling, protect shared finances and discuss practical boundaries. You can seek advice even if the person gambling is not ready to ask for help themselves.
Getting help in Australia
If gambling is affecting your wellbeing, finances or relationships, support is available in Australia. Gambling support services can provide information, counselling and practical assistance with gambling concerns, financial stress and related issues. You can contact a suitable Australian gambling-help service through its official website or another verified support channel. Support may be available by telephone, online chat, video or face-to-face appointment, depending on the service and your location.
You can also speak with your doctor or another qualified health professional. They can help you discuss gambling in confidence and refer you to appropriate services. If financial problems are involved, consider obtaining independent financial counselling before taking out loans, selling assets or making decisions that could increase your financial pressure.
If you feel overwhelmed, unsafe or at risk of harming yourself or another person, seek urgent help through emergency services or a crisis support service in Australia. Gambling losses are never a reason to put your safety at risk. If you are in immediate danger, move away from gambling, tell someone you trust and obtain urgent assistance.
Our approach
888 Casino supports informed and responsible participation. We may provide information about safer gambling, account controls and support options. We may also take action where required by applicable laws, rules or our account terms. Responsible gambling features are not a substitute for professional help, and using them does not guarantee that gambling will remain affordable or risk-free.
Please make sure you meet the applicable minimum age requirement and any other eligibility requirements before using gambling services. If you are underage, do not attempt to open or use an account. Parents and carers should use appropriate device, payment and account controls to help prevent minors from accessing gambling services.
