Our approach to safer gambling
Responsible gaming means making informed decisions about when, how often and how much you gamble. It includes understanding that gambling outcomes are based on chance and that no strategy can guarantee a win. Previous results do not predict future results, and a loss cannot be recovered by continuing to play.
Royal Ace Casino provides this information to help players keep gambling within clear personal boundaries. The information is general and does not replace professional financial, health or counselling advice. If gambling is affecting your wellbeing, relationships or finances, consider taking a break and speaking with a qualified support service.
Gambling is intended for adults only. You must meet the applicable minimum age requirement before using gambling services. Do not allow children or other unauthorised people to access your account, device or payment methods. Parents and carers should use suitable device controls and keep gambling accounts separate from accounts used by minors.
- Treat gambling as entertainment, not as a source of income.
- Only gamble with money you can afford to lose.
- Decide your time and spending limits before you begin.
- Do not gamble when you are upset, tired, intoxicated or under financial pressure.
- Never borrow money or use essential household funds to gamble.
- Keep your account secure and do not share your login details.
Set limits and stay in control
A practical way to manage gambling is to set limits before playing. A limit can apply to the amount you deposit, the amount you spend, the time you play or the frequency of your sessions. Choose limits that reflect your budget and circumstances, rather than increasing them after a loss or during an emotional moment.
Plan a gambling budget
Consider gambling money as part of your discretionary entertainment budget. Essential expenses such as rent, mortgage repayments, food, utilities, education, medical costs and debt repayments should be prioritised. Keep a record of deposits, wagers and losses so you have a realistic view of your overall activity. Do not rely only on how much money is in your account at a particular moment.
Set time boundaries
Gambling can feel absorbing, especially when you are trying to win back money. Use a timer or another reminder to take regular breaks. Avoid playing for longer than planned, and do not continue simply because a session has already lasted a long time. Stepping away gives you an opportunity to review your decisions without the pressure of an active session.
Use available account tools
Depending on the services and features available to you, safer gambling tools may include deposit limits, wagering or spending limits, session reminders, reality checks, account activity information, temporary breaks and self-exclusion. Read the instructions for each tool carefully before using it. Some changes may not take effect immediately, and the applicable terms or procedures should be followed.
A limit is most effective when you respect it. Do not create another account or use another person's account to avoid a restriction. If you are struggling to maintain a limit, stop gambling and ask for help rather than trying to recover losses.
Recognising signs that gambling may be a problem
Problem gambling can develop gradually. You do not need to wait until there is a serious financial loss before seeking support. It may help to consider your behaviour honestly and notice whether gambling is becoming difficult to control or is taking priority over other parts of your life.
- Spending more time or money gambling than you intended.
- Trying to win back losses by gambling more often or with larger amounts.
- Feeling restless, irritable or anxious when you cannot gamble.
- Hiding gambling activity, deposits, losses or account statements from others.
- Borrowing money, selling belongings or using credit to continue gambling.
- Missing work, study, family commitments or social activities because of gambling.
- Gambling to escape sadness, stress, loneliness, anger or other difficult feelings.
- Thinking about gambling for much of the day or finding it hard to stop during a session.
- Arguing with family members, friends or colleagues about gambling.
- Feeling guilt, shame or regret after gambling but continuing anyway.
One sign may be enough to justify taking a break and reviewing your habits. If several signs apply to you, consider using a longer break or self-exclusion and contacting a gambling support service. Speaking with someone early can make it easier to address financial, emotional and relationship concerns.
Avoid relying on gambling as a response to a difficult situation. Gambling cannot resolve debt, guarantee financial security or replace medical or mental health support. A qualified counsellor, financial counsellor or healthcare professional can help you consider practical next steps.
Taking a break or self-excluding
If you feel that gambling is no longer enjoyable or is becoming difficult to control, take a break as soon as possible. A temporary account break can provide space to reflect, review your finances and speak with someone you trust. During a break, avoid gambling through other accounts, websites or services.
Self-exclusion is a stronger restriction that prevents or limits access to gambling for a chosen period or under an applicable process. Before requesting self-exclusion, read the relevant information carefully and provide any details required to process the request. Self-exclusion should be treated seriously and must not be used as a reason to open another account or ask another person to gamble on your behalf.
You can also ask a trusted person to support your decision. This might involve sharing your plan, asking them to help you monitor spending or removing gambling applications and saved payment details from your devices. Consider using banking controls, device restrictions and website blocking tools alongside account-based safeguards.
- Stop your current session and do not chase losses.
- Review the available break, limit or self-exclusion options.
- Remove easy access to saved payment methods and gambling applications.
- Tell a trusted person what you are doing and ask for practical support.
- Contact a recognised gambling support service or qualified counsellor.
- Seek financial advice if gambling has created debt or affected essential expenses.
Features, eligibility, waiting periods and account procedures may vary. Check the information presented in your account and the applicable terms before selecting an option. If you are unsure which option is suitable, choose not to gamble while you seek guidance.
Getting help and protecting your wellbeing
Support is available for people who are concerned about their own gambling or someone else's gambling. In Australia, you can seek assistance from recognised gambling help services, a general practitioner, a mental health professional, a financial counsellor or a community support organisation. These services can help with planning, emotional support, budgeting, debt concerns and conversations with family members.
You do not need to manage the situation alone, and asking for help is not a sign of failure. If you are supporting someone else, focus on listening without judgement, encourage professional assistance and avoid lending money to cover gambling losses. Protect your own finances and wellbeing as well.
If gambling has contributed to immediate danger, severe distress, thoughts of self-harm or a situation where someone may not be safe, seek urgent help through appropriate emergency or crisis services in your area. In an emergency, contact emergency services without delay.
Royal Ace Casino encourages players to make responsible choices, use available safeguards and act early when gambling no longer feels under control. Review this page from time to time, monitor your activity and remember that choosing not to gamble is always an option.
