Safe and Responsible Play at Casinonic

Gambling always involves the risk of losing money. You should only play using funds you can afford to lose and never rely on gambling for regular income. There are no guaranteed wins and no strategy that removes risk.

To keep your experience safe and manageable, you can:

• Treat gambling as leisure, not as a way to pay bills or fix debts.
• Set a clear budget for betting before you start and stick to it.
• Decide on time limits for each session and take regular breaks.
• Avoid chasing losses and accept them as part of gambling.
• Keep your gambling separate from alcohol or other substances that affect judgement.
• Check your transaction history to review how much you spend and how often you play.

Casinonic offers control tools that help you:

• Set daily, weekly, or monthly deposit limits to manage your spending.
• Adjust your limits down at any time if you want stronger control.
• Use time-out or cooling-off options to pause your account for a set period.
• Request self-exclusion if you need a longer break from gambling.

These tools support responsible play and help protect both your financial position and emotional health.

Gambling addiction can affect anyone and may develop gradually. Recognising early warning signs helps you act before harm increases. This condition is serious and benefits from timely support and professional help.

Common indicators that gambling may be becoming a problem include:

• Spending more money or time on betting than you planned.
• Feeling restless, irritated, or anxious when you try to cut back or stop.
• Chasing losses by increasing bets to recover money.
• Hiding or lying about gambling activity from family or friends.
• Borrowing money, using credit, or selling items to fund gambling.
• Neglecting work, study, or home responsibilities due to gambling.
• Gambling to escape stress, low mood, loneliness, or other emotional pain.
• Difficulty paying bills or managing debts because of gambling losses.
• Thinking about gambling most of the time, even when doing other things.
• Repeated unsuccessful attempts to reduce or control your play.

Tackling betting addiction requires honest reflection and consistent steps to reduce harm. Support from professionals and trusted people can make this process more effective.

Useful actions to reduce risk and manage your play include:

• Set a fixed gambling budget that comes only from disposable income.
• Decide on time limits before you start and use alarms or reminders to stop.
• Take regular breaks from the screen to reset your focus and judgement.
• Avoid gambling when you feel stressed, upset, tired, or under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
• Log your deposits and withdrawals so you can see your real spending over time.
• Lower your deposit and loss limits in your account settings to strengthen control.
• Use cooling-off periods if you notice gambling taking up too much time or attention.
• Consider self-exclusion if you find it hard to stop on your own.
• Talk to a trusted friend, family member, or counsellor about your gambling.
• Contact specialised gambling help services in Australia for confidential advice and support.
