Responsible Gaming

Gamble for entertainment

Gambling involves risk and outcomes are determined by chance. No strategy, system or pattern can guarantee a win. Previous results do not change the odds of future results, and a run of losses does not mean that a win is due. Treat every wager as an entertainment expense and decide your budget before you start.

Only use funds that are available after your essential costs have been covered. Money needed for rent, mortgage payments, bills, food, education, medical care or other important commitments should never be used for gambling. You should also avoid gambling with borrowed money, credit that you cannot repay or funds intended for someone else.

There is no guaranteed way to recover a loss. Trying to win back money by placing larger or more frequent bets can increase the risk of further losses. If you notice that gambling is becoming stressful, stop playing and take time away from your account. A break can help you review your habits without making decisions under pressure.

Before you play

• Set a spending limit for the day, week or month and do not exceed it.
• Set a time limit and use a timer if you may lose track of time.
• Decide in advance how much you are prepared to lose.
• Do not gamble when you are upset, tired, intoxicated or under pressure.
• Keep gambling separate from essential household finances.
• Remember that winning is never guaranteed.

Use responsible gambling tools

Responsible gambling tools can help you stay within the boundaries you set for yourself. Available features may differ according to your account, the services offered on this website and applicable Australian requirements. Review the options available in your account or through the support channels published on this website.

Deposit and spending limits

Where available, a deposit or spending limit can restrict the amount you add or use during a selected period. Choose an amount that fits comfortably within your budget. A limit should be set before gambling begins and should not be treated as a target. If a limit is reached, do not try to bypass it by using another payment method or another account.

Time and session management

Regular breaks can make it easier to remain aware of how long you have been playing. Consider using reminders, session limits or account activity information where these options are available. Review your deposits, wagers, wins and losses regularly. Looking at your activity in a calm moment may help you identify changes in your gambling behaviour.

Reality checks and account restrictions

A reality check or activity reminder may help you pause and consider whether you want to continue. You may also be able to request additional restrictions on your account. Restrictions can include reduced access, temporary breaks or a longer self-exclusion period, depending on the options available and the relevant requirements.

Do not open or use multiple accounts to avoid a restriction. Do not ask another person to gamble on your behalf, and do not share your login details. Account controls are most effective when they are used honestly and supported by a clear decision to take a break or reduce gambling.

Recognise warning signs

Problem gambling can affect people in different ways. It may develop gradually, and you do not need to wait for a serious financial loss before asking for help. The following signs may indicate that gambling is becoming difficult to control:

• Spending more time or money gambling than you planned.
• Frequently thinking about gambling or planning the next opportunity to play.
• Increasing your bets to experience the same level of excitement.
• Chasing losses or gambling to recover money that has already been lost.
• Borrowing money, selling possessions or missing bills to fund gambling.
• Hiding gambling activity, account statements or losses from family and friends.
• Feeling anxious, irritable, guilty or distressed when you are not gambling.
• Neglecting work, study, relationships, health or other responsibilities.
• Trying to stop or cut back but returning to gambling soon afterwards.
• Using gambling to escape stress, loneliness, sadness or other difficult feelings.

If any of these signs sound familiar, stop gambling and consider using an account break or self-exclusion option. Speak openly with someone you trust and seek independent support. Asking for help is a practical step, not a failure. A qualified support professional can help you understand your behaviour, make a plan and address financial or emotional concerns.

Protect your account

Keep your account secure and make sure only you can access it. Use a strong password, avoid sharing credentials and sign out when using a shared device. If you believe another person has accessed your account, stop gambling and use the support option published on this website. Account security will not remove gambling risk, but it can help prevent unauthorised activity and reduce impulsive access.

If gambling is causing immediate financial, emotional or personal danger, seek urgent assistance from an appropriate emergency or support service in Australia. If you are worried that someone else may be experiencing gambling harm, raise the subject calmly, avoid blame and encourage them to seek professional help.

Taking a break or getting support

Temporary breaks

A temporary break may be suitable if you want time away from gambling without making a permanent decision. Before starting a break, withdraw any available funds in accordance with the applicable account process, review your recent activity and remove gambling reminders from your devices where practical. Use the break to focus on other activities, speak with people you trust and consider whether further support would be helpful.

Self-exclusion

Self-exclusion is a stronger restriction for people who want to stop gambling for a selected period or longer. If you choose self-exclusion, follow the instructions provided through the account or support process on this website. Do not attempt to create another account or use another person's account during the exclusion period. If you request assistance with self-exclusion, provide clear information so the restriction can be applied as intended.

Independent help

Support is available from independent gambling-help services, qualified counsellors, financial counsellors and trusted health professionals in Australia. These services can offer confidential guidance about gambling behaviour, debt, relationships and wellbeing. You can also speak with a family member, friend or colleague who will support your decision to reduce or stop gambling. If you prefer not to speak to someone you know, look for an Australian gambling support service through a trusted government or health information source.

A simple action plan

1. Stop gambling for now and move away from the website or app.
2. Write down your recent gambling time, deposits, wagers and losses.
3. Set an account restriction, temporary break or self-exclusion if available.
4. Tell a trusted person what is happening and ask them to support your plan.
5. Contact an independent gambling or financial support service in Australia.
6. Review your finances and protect money needed for essential expenses.
7. Return to gambling only if it remains within your limits and does not cause harm; otherwise, continue your break and seek further help.

Slotsdj Casino encourages players to make informed choices and to use responsible gambling features whenever they are needed. If you have a question about an account restriction, use the support channel displayed on this website. Our team may need to verify account information before making changes, and some restrictions may not be reversible until the selected period has ended.
