Gambling Should Be Entertainment, Not Income
At Australian Casino Club, we believe online gambling is a form of entertainment — never a way to earn money or solve financial problems. Always play for fun, set a budget, and treat losses as the cost of entertainment. Never chase your losses or gamble with money you need for essentials.
Age Verification
You must be at least 18 years old (the legal gambling age throughout Australia) to play at any online casino. Underage gambling is illegal and can lead to lifelong problems. We encourage parents and guardians to use filtering software to block access to gambling websites on shared devices.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
Problem gambling can affect anyone. If you recognise any of the following signs in yourself or someone you care about, it may be time to seek help:
- Chasing losses — trying to win back money you’ve already lost
- Hiding gambling activity from family, friends, or colleagues
- Gambling with money meant for rent, bills, food, or savings
- Feeling anxious, guilty, or irritable when not gambling
- Neglecting work, study, or personal relationships because of gambling
- Borrowing money, selling possessions, or taking out loans to gamble
- Repeatedly trying to stop or cut back without success
- Lying about how much time or money you spend gambling
Self-Help Tools
Reputable online casinos offer tools to help you stay in control. We strongly encourage you to use these features at any site you visit:
- Deposit limits: Set daily, weekly, or monthly caps on how much you can deposit.
- Loss limits: Restrict the amount you can lose over a set period.
- Reality checks: Receive pop-up reminders of how long you’ve been playing.
- Time-out / cooling-off periods: Temporarily block access to your account for a set period, such as 24 hours, 7 days, or 30 days.
- Self-exclusion: Exclude yourself from a single site or multiple sites for a longer term or permanently.
