Responsible Gaming
Gamble for entertainment, not income
Gambling involves risk, and there is no guaranteed way to win. Games are designed so that outcomes are uncertain, and previous results do not determine what will happen next. A win does not mean that another win is more likely, while a loss does not mean that a win is due. Chasing a result can lead to decisions that increase financial and personal harm.
Before gambling, consider whether you can afford to lose the money you plan to use. Only gamble with discretionary funds after essential costs such as housing, food, utilities, transport, debts and other commitments have been covered. Never use borrowed money, money set aside for important expenses or funds that belong to someone else.
- Set a spending limit before you start and treat it as the maximum you are willing to lose.
- Set a time limit and take regular breaks away from the game.
- Keep gambling separate from your everyday budget.
- Do not increase stakes to recover losses or try to win back money quickly.
- Avoid gambling when you are upset, stressed, tired, intoxicated or under the influence of medication that affects your judgement.
- Do not gamble to relieve boredom, escape problems or change your mood.
- Keep records of your deposits, withdrawals, wins and losses so that your activity remains clear.
It can also help to tell someone you trust about your gambling budget. An independent person may notice changes that are difficult to see yourself and can provide encouragement when you want to stick to your limits.
Tools to help you stay in control
The safest approach is to decide your boundaries before gambling and follow them consistently. Depending on the features available through your account, you may be able to use responsible gambling controls such as deposit limits, wagering or spending limits, session reminders, activity statements, cooling-off periods and account closure or self-exclusion requests. These controls are intended to support your decisions; they are not a replacement for professional advice.
Setting a limit
Choose an amount that fits comfortably within your personal budget over the relevant period. A limit should be based on what you can afford, rather than on a hoped-for win. Once a limit has been reached, stop gambling and do not attempt to work around it by opening another account or using another person’s account.
Taking a break
A cooling-off period can create space between you and gambling. Use a break when gambling begins to take more time than planned, when you are thinking about it frequently or when you feel pressure to continue. During a break, remove gambling applications or shortcuts, avoid gambling advertising where possible and ask a trusted person to support your decision.
Self-exclusion
If you want to stop gambling, request account closure or self-exclusion through the available account support process. Explain clearly that you want to stop, and do not create additional accounts to continue gambling. If you have accounts with other operators, consider contacting each operator separately and asking about their self-exclusion process. Support services can also help you make a broader plan.
If you believe a limit or account control has not worked as intended, stop gambling and contact support through the available website channels. Keep any relevant account information and messages so the matter can be reviewed.
Recognising when gambling may be causing harm
Gambling harm can affect finances, relationships, work, study, physical health and emotional wellbeing. It may develop gradually, and a person does not need to gamble every day or lose a large amount before support is appropriate. You can ask for help at any stage, whether you gamble online, in venues or through other forms of gambling.
Consider seeking support if you recognise one or more of the following signs:
- Spending more money or time gambling than you intended.
- Gambling with money needed for bills, food, rent, loan repayments or other essentials.
- Trying to recover losses by increasing the amount or frequency of gambling.
- Hiding gambling activity, losses or transactions from family, friends or colleagues.
- Borrowing money, selling possessions or using credit to gamble.
- Feeling restless, irritable or anxious when trying to reduce or stop gambling.
- Thinking about gambling during work, study, family time or other important activities.
- Missing commitments, losing sleep or experiencing conflict because of gambling.
- Feeling guilt, shame, hopelessness or distress after gambling.
- Continuing to gamble despite financial, relationship, work or health problems.
These signs are not a diagnosis, but they are reasons to pause and speak with someone. Asking for help early can make it easier to regain control. You can begin by talking with a trusted family member, friend, doctor, counsellor or financial counsellor.
Getting support in Australia
Free and confidential gambling support is available in Australia. Gambling Help Online provides information, counselling and support options for people affected by gambling, as well as family members and friends. State and territory services may also provide counselling, peer support, financial counselling and assistance with self-exclusion or practical planning. You can find current services through official Australian government, state or territory health websites.
A financial counsellor can help you understand debts, organise essential payments and create a plan for managing financial pressure. A health professional can help if gambling is connected with anxiety, depression, alcohol or other drug use, relationship difficulties or other concerns. You do not need to wait until a crisis occurs before contacting a service.
If someone you know is affected
Family members and friends can also be affected by gambling harm. Approach the person when they are calm, describe the behaviour you have noticed without judgement and encourage professional support. Avoid lending money to cover gambling losses, and protect shared finances where appropriate. You can seek advice for yourself even if the person who gambles is not ready to ask for help.
Immediate safety concerns
If gambling has led to immediate danger, threats, violence, severe distress or thoughts of self-harm, contact emergency services in Australia or attend the nearest hospital emergency department. If you are concerned about someone else, do not leave them alone when there is an immediate risk. Responsible gambling support is important, but urgent safety concerns require immediate professional assistance.
Cuntspin Casino encourages players to use the available safer gambling tools, take concerns seriously and contact qualified support whenever gambling stops being enjoyable or comes with consequences. This information is general and does not replace individual financial, medical or legal advice. Gambling is restricted to adults who are legally permitted to participate in their location. If you are under the legal gambling age, do not create an account or gamble.
