Responsible Gaming

Gamble for entertainment

Responsible gaming means making informed choices about when, how often and how much you gamble. Online casino games are based on chance, and results cannot be predicted or controlled. There is no guaranteed strategy, system or pattern that can ensure a win. Previous results do not affect the outcome of the next game, and a losing run does not mean that a win is due.

Only gamble with money that you can afford to lose after essential expenses have been paid. Gambling funds should come from your discretionary budget, never from rent, mortgage payments, bills, food, education costs or money needed by your family. Do not borrow money, use credit to chase losses or sell possessions to continue gambling. Gambling should not be treated as an investment or a source of income.

Before you start, decide how much time and money you are comfortable spending. Treat that amount as an entertainment cost rather than something you expect to recover or increase. Once your budget or time limit has been reached, stop playing. Taking regular breaks can help you stay aware of how long you have been playing and how much you have spent.

• Play only when you are in a clear and settled frame of mind.
• Avoid gambling when you are upset, stressed, tired or under the influence of alcohol or other substances.
• Do not gamble to recover money that you have lost.
• Do not treat gambling as a way to pay debts or manage financial pressure.
• Keep gambling separate from essential household spending.
• Remember that a win is not guaranteed, regardless of your previous results.
• Set a budget before you begin and avoid changing it during a session.
• Take regular breaks and make time for other activities.

Tools for managing your play

Planning your gambling before you begin can make it easier to stay in control. Consider setting a personal spending limit and a time limit for each session. You may also choose a longer-term budget for gambling and review it regularly. A limit is most useful when it is set before you start playing and is not changed during a session because of a win or loss.

Deposit and spending limits

If limit-setting features are available through your account, use them to restrict the amount you can deposit or spend over a selected period. Choose an amount that fits comfortably within your entertainment budget. A limit should not be increased simply because you have lost money or want to continue playing. If you are unsure what limit is appropriate, consider setting a lower limit or taking a break instead.

Time reminders and breaks

Use reminders, alarms or other time-management tools to avoid losing track of a session. Stand up, move away from the screen and do something unrelated to gambling during breaks. Avoid keeping a gambling site open throughout the day. Closing the site after a session can create a clear boundary between gambling and other activities.

Cooling-off and self-exclusion

If you want to stop for a short period, a cooling-off break may help you step away and review your gambling. If you need a longer or more permanent break, ask about the self-exclusion options available for your account or through a relevant service. Self-exclusion is a serious commitment. If you request it, do not attempt to create another account or use another person’s account to continue gambling.

You can also take practical steps outside your account. Remove saved payment details where possible, avoid carrying extra funds for gambling and let a trusted person know that you are taking a break. Consider using device controls, banking controls or other blocking tools that can make access to gambling less convenient. These steps can reduce temptation while you decide what support you need.

Recognising when gambling may be a problem

Problem gambling can develop gradually. It may affect anyone, regardless of age, income, background or previous experience. You do not need to wait for a major financial loss before taking action. Early support can make it easier to regain control, protect your finances and reduce the effect gambling may have on people close to you.

Consider pausing and seeking help if you notice that you are gambling more often, spending more than planned or thinking about gambling throughout the day. Other warning signs can include hiding your gambling, feeling restless when trying to stop, missing work or social commitments, arguing with family members, borrowing money or returning to gamble soon after a loss.

• You regularly exceed the budget or time you set for yourself.
• You chase losses by increasing stakes or playing for longer.
• You feel anxious, guilty, irritable or low because of gambling.
• You gamble to escape stress, loneliness, boredom or other difficult feelings.
• You delay bills, miss appointments or neglect responsibilities because of gambling.
• You hide transactions, sessions or losses from people close to you.
• You borrow money, use credit or sell belongings to continue gambling.
• You have tried to stop or cut back but have not been able to do so.
• You lose interest in hobbies, social activities or responsibilities that used to matter to you.
• You think about gambling soon after waking or find it difficult to concentrate on other things.

If any of these signs are familiar, stop gambling and speak with someone you trust. A qualified gambling counsellor or a relevant support service in your state or territory can provide confidential guidance. Support is available for people who gamble and for family members or friends affected by someone else’s gambling. Seeking help is a practical step, not a failure.

Age, account safety and getting help

Gambling is for adults only. You must meet the applicable legal age requirement and follow the laws that apply where you are located. Do not allow anyone under the legal age to access or use your account. Keep your login details private, use appropriate device security and log out when you have finished. Parents and guardians should use device controls and payment protections to help prevent minors from accessing gambling services.

If another person has access to your account, or if you believe your account details have been compromised, stop using the account and contact the available support channel as soon as possible. Do not share passwords, one-time codes or payment information with another person. Account security can help protect you, but it cannot replace responsible decisions about gambling.

Taking action early

If gambling is causing financial, emotional or relationship difficulties, consider speaking with a trusted family member, friend, doctor, mental health professional or gambling support service. You can also review your bank statements, remove access to unnecessary funds and ask someone you trust to help you manage payments while you take a break. Being open about the problem can make it easier to receive practical support.

People who feel overwhelmed or unsafe should seek immediate help from emergency services or an appropriate crisis service in their location. If someone is at risk of harming themselves or another person, treat the situation as urgent. Gambling concerns can affect mental health, but support is available and asking for help can be the first step towards recovery.

Our approach

Naobet Casino provides responsible gaming information so players can make informed choices. Account checks, limit tools, breaks and support options may be available depending on the service and the circumstances of an account. If you have a concern about your gambling, contact the available customer support team and clearly explain what assistance you need. You can ask about account restrictions, a temporary break or longer-term exclusion without needing to justify the request in detail.

Responsible gaming is an ongoing process. Review your habits regularly, be honest about the effect gambling has on your life and act early if your behaviour changes. When in doubt, stop playing, protect your funds and seek independent support. Gambling should remain optional, affordable and separate from your essential needs.
