Responsible Gaming
Gambling should be entertainment, never a way to earn money or to solve financial problems. Play only if you have reached the legal gambling age, and only with money you can afford to lose.
Set limits before you start
- Decide a deposit amount and stick to it, even if the minimum deposit is lower.
- Use the deposit, loss and session limits that many casinos provide in their account settings.
- Take breaks and avoid playing when tired, upset or under the influence of alcohol.
A payment method does not make gambling safer
Using a wallet such as AstroPay can help you see and cap what you spend, but it does not protect you from losing. Do not top up your balance again to chase losses.
Warning signs
- Spending more time or money than planned
- Borrowing money or hiding gambling from family
- Feeling anxious, irritable or guilty about playing
Self-exclusion and support
Casinos offer self-exclusion tools. Ask the casino support team to activate them if you need a break. Free, confidential help is available from Gambling Help Online, an Australian support service.
Check the casino
A payment service licence does not mean a casino is licensed or allowed to serve your region. Check each casino's licence and terms yourself, and read how bonuses and withdrawals work before you deposit.
