1. Gambling should remain entertainment
Gambling always involves risk and should never be treated as a source of income or a solution to financial pressure. Outcomes in casino games are uncertain, and losses cannot be recovered by increasing stakes or playing for longer.
Only gamble with money you can afford to lose. Set both a spending limit and a finish time before you begin.
2. Practical limits
- Decide a fixed entertainment budget before playing and do not borrow to increase it.
- Set deposit, loss, wager and session limits where those tools are available.
- Take regular breaks and avoid gambling when tired, upset, intoxicated or under pressure.
- Do not chase losses or raise stakes to change your mood.
- Keep essential expenses, savings and gambling money separate.
- Review account history honestly and stop if actual play exceeds the plan.
3. Warning signs
Consider taking action if gambling occupies increasing amounts of time, spending is hidden, bills are delayed, limits are repeatedly broken, losses are chased, relationships are affected or gambling is used to escape stress.
A problem does not need to reach a crisis before support is appropriate. Early action is usually easier and can include a break, stronger limits, self-exclusion, financial safeguards or a confidential conversation with a qualified counsellor.
4. Time-outs and self-exclusion
A time-out pauses access for a chosen period and can be useful when play no longer feels controlled. Self-exclusion is intended for a longer or indefinite break. Before choosing either option, check how it affects account access, open bets, balances and withdrawals.
Removing gambling apps, blocking gambling transactions with your bank and using device-level blocking software can strengthen an exclusion decision.
5. Protecting minors and other people
Roll XO Casino content is intended for adults aged 18 and over. Keep login and payment information private, use a device passcode, do not leave an active account unattended and avoid saving credentials on a shared device.
If you are concerned about another person, speak calmly, focus on observed behaviour rather than blame, and encourage professional support. Do not lend money to fund further gambling.
6. Australian support
Australian residents can seek confidential help through established national and state-based gambling-support services, financial counsellors, healthcare professionals or emergency support when there is immediate danger. Help can be useful for both the person gambling and affected family members.
If gambling is connected with thoughts of self-harm or an immediate safety risk, contact Australian emergency services on 000 or a crisis-support service without delay.
7. A simple stop plan
Pause access
Log out, step away from the device and avoid making another deposit.
Protect money
Move essential funds away from easy access, ask your bank about gambling blocks and tell a trusted person what is happening.
Choose support
Arrange a confidential conversation with a gambling-support or financial-counselling service and use exclusion tools that match the level of concern.
