Responsible Gaming

At 88 Casino, gambling should be an enjoyable form of entertainment, not a way to make money or solve financial problems. Responsible gaming means understanding the risks, setting personal limits and making informed decisions before you play. This page provides practical information to help you keep gambling within your means and recognise when additional support may be useful.

Gamble for entertainment

Gambling involves risk, and there is no guaranteed way to win. Casino games are based on chance, so previous results do not determine future results. A game that has produced a win, loss or particular sequence of outcomes does not become more or less likely to produce a specific result next time. Strategies, systems and predictions cannot remove the uncertainty involved in gambling.

Only gamble with money you can afford to lose after essential costs have been covered. Gambling should never come before rent, mortgage payments, utilities, food, education, medical expenses or other financial commitments. It should also not be funded with borrowed money, credit intended for essential spending or money set aside for someone else.

Decide how much time and money you will spend before starting.
Treat any gambling budget as an entertainment expense, not an investment.
Take regular breaks and avoid playing when tired, upset, stressed or under the influence of alcohol or other substances.
Do not chase losses by increasing stakes or continuing to play for longer.
Do not assume that a win is due after a series of losses.
Keep gambling separate from important financial decisions and daily responsibilities.
Never pressure another person to gamble or lend money for gambling.

A useful personal rule is to decide your limits while you are calm and follow them once play begins. It can be difficult to make balanced decisions after a win or loss, so planning in advance can help you stay in control.

Tools and personal limits

Setting limits can help you manage your gambling activity. Depending on the options available through your account or the platform, you may be able to use controls relating to deposits, wagering, losses, time or session length. Availability and operation of particular tools may vary. Review the applicable account information and site terms for the controls offered to you.

Before you play

Choose a maximum amount you are prepared to spend over a defined period.
Set a time limit and decide when you will stop, regardless of the result.
Make sure your planned spending will not affect household expenses or other commitments.
Consider whether you are gambling for enjoyment or trying to recover money already lost.
Avoid playing if you feel pressured, distressed, angry or unable to make a clear decision.

While you play

Monitor the time spent playing and the amount deposited or wagered.
Use breaks to step away and reassess whether you still want to continue.
Do not increase your limits in response to a loss or a desire to win more.
Keep records of gambling expenditure if this helps you understand your habits.
Stop immediately if gambling is interfering with work, study, relationships or wellbeing.

If you find that limits are difficult to follow, consider taking a longer break or requesting account restrictions. A temporary break or self-exclusion can create space to reassess your gambling without the pressure of immediate access.

Recognising signs of gambling harm

Gambling harm can affect finances, mental health, relationships, work and physical wellbeing. It may develop gradually, and a person may not recognise the change until gambling has caused significant difficulty. You do not need to wait for a crisis before asking for help.

Spending more time or money gambling than you originally planned.
Trying to win back losses by gambling more frequently or with larger amounts.
Feeling restless, irritable or preoccupied when not gambling.
Hiding gambling activity, losses or financial information from family or friends.
Borrowing money, selling belongings or missing payments to continue gambling.
Using gambling to escape stress, sadness, loneliness or other difficult feelings.
Neglecting work, study, health, family responsibilities or social activities.
Arguing with people close to you about gambling.
Feeling guilt, shame, anxiety or hopelessness after gambling.
Attempting to stop or cut down but finding that you cannot do so.

If any of these signs feel familiar, consider stopping play and speaking with someone you trust. A doctor, counsellor or gambling support service can provide confidential advice and help you decide what to do next. Support is available for people who gamble and for family members, friends and others affected by someone else's gambling.

If gambling is contributing to severe distress or thoughts of self-harm, seek urgent assistance through appropriate emergency or crisis services in Australia. Your immediate safety is more important than any gambling account, balance or loss.

Taking a break and getting support

You can choose to stop gambling at any time. If you want more support to do this, review the available account tools and contact the relevant customer support channel through the website. You may be able to request a temporary suspension, longer break or self-exclusion. When asking for an account restriction, provide clear information about the period you want and follow any instructions supplied.

Self-exclusion is a commitment not to access or use gambling services for a selected period or until a specified condition is met. It is intended to support a decision to stop, but it should be used alongside practical steps such as removing saved payment methods, limiting access to gambling websites and telling a trusted person about your plan. Do not open another account or use another person's account to avoid a restriction.

Helpful steps you can take today

Stop gambling and take time away from the website or app.
Review your recent gambling activity and identify any patterns that concern you.
Set or reduce available limits and request a break or self-exclusion if needed.
Tell a trusted family member, friend or professional what is happening.
Contact an Australian gambling support service for confidential information and counselling.
Speak with a financial counsellor if gambling has affected bills, debt or other obligations.
Remove gambling reminders and consider blocking access where practical.
Arrange follow-up support so your plan remains in place over time.

Australian players can look for help through national and state or territory gambling support services, including Gambling Help Online and local counselling or financial counselling organisations. These services can explain available options and help you create a plan that suits your circumstances. Friends and family can also seek support, even if the person gambling is not ready to do so.

Our commitment to safer gambling

88 Casino supports informed and responsible participation. We aim to provide clear information about gambling risks and available account controls. We may apply age, identity, account or activity checks and may take action where required by applicable rules, policies or legal obligations. We do not present gambling as a source of income, financial security or a solution to personal problems.

Players are responsible for providing accurate information, protecting account access and using the available safer gambling tools. Do not allow another person to use your account, and do not gamble on behalf of someone else. If you believe your gambling is becoming difficult to control, act early and ask for help.

You must be at least 18 years old to gamble in Australia. Gambling is not suitable for children or young people. Parents and guardians should take reasonable steps to prevent minors from accessing gambling accounts, devices and payment methods. Use suitable device controls and keep login information private.

If you are concerned about your own gambling or someone else's gambling, obtain professional advice from an appropriate Australian support service or qualified practitioner.
