Responsible Gaming

Gamble for entertainment

Casino games are games of chance. Each play has an uncertain outcome, and previous results do not predict future results. You can lose money, sometimes quickly, and there is no guaranteed strategy for winning. Avoid treating gambling as an investment, an income source or a method of recovering losses.

Only gamble with money you can afford to lose after essential expenses have been paid. Your gambling budget should not affect rent, mortgage payments, bills, food, transport, education, savings or other financial commitments. Never use borrowed money, credit intended for necessities or money set aside for someone else to gamble.

Responsible gambling also involves understanding the way casino games work. Take time to review the game information, including the rules, features and any displayed return information. A stated theoretical return does not guarantee an individual result, and a win on one game or session does not make a future win more likely.

Before you start

• Decide how much money and time you can afford to spend.
• Set a limit before your session begins and stick to it.
• Keep gambling separate from everyday spending and essential payments.
• Avoid gambling when you are upset, stressed, tired or under the influence of alcohol or other substances.
• Do not chase losses by increasing your stakes or playing for longer.
• Remember that taking a break or choosing not to play is always an available option.

Set limits and stay in control

Planning your gambling in advance can help you keep it within safe boundaries. Consider setting deposit, spending, loss, session or time limits where these tools are available. Choose limits that reflect your actual budget rather than an amount you hope to win. Once a limit has been reached, stop gambling and do not try to work around it by changing the limit impulsively.

It can be helpful to keep a personal record of deposits, withdrawals, wins, losses and the amount of time spent playing. Looking at your activity objectively may help you recognise when gambling is becoming more frequent or costly than intended. You may also choose to remove saved payment details, avoid carrying extra funds for gambling and use device settings to reduce access during a break.

Practical steps you can take

1. Create a gambling budget that is separate from your household budget.
2. Set a session alarm or calendar reminder so that you do not lose track of time.
3. Take regular breaks away from the game and do something unrelated to gambling.
4. Do not increase stakes simply because you have lost or because you believe a win is due.
5. Avoid using multiple accounts or payment methods to bypass a personal spending decision.
6. Ask someone you trust to help you review your gambling if you are finding it difficult to stay within your plan.

Any account controls or limit requests should be used honestly and responsibly. Where a restriction, cooling-off period or self-exclusion option is requested, it may affect access to play and may not be reversible immediately. Review the relevant account information before confirming a request.

Recognising signs of gambling harm

Gambling harm can affect finances, relationships, work, study, health and general wellbeing. It can develop gradually, and a person may not notice the change straight away. You do not need to wait for a major problem before taking action or seeking support.

Possible warning signs include spending more time or money gambling than planned, repeatedly trying to win back losses, hiding gambling from family or friends, feeling restless when unable to gamble, borrowing money, selling belongings or missing financial commitments. Other signs may include losing interest in normal activities, arguing with people close to you, feeling anxious or low after gambling, or using gambling to cope with stress, loneliness or difficult emotions.

If gambling is becoming difficult to control

• Stop gambling and consider requesting a break or self-exclusion.
• Do not attempt to recover losses through further gambling.
• Tell a trusted person what is happening and ask for practical support.
• Review your finances and contact relevant financial or community support services if necessary.
• Seek professional help from an appropriate gambling support service in Australia.
• If you feel overwhelmed or at immediate risk of harming yourself, contact emergency services or a crisis support service without delay.

Support is available for people who gamble and for family members, partners and friends affected by someone else's gambling. A qualified counsellor or support service can help you understand your options, make a plan and work through financial or emotional concerns. Seeking help is a practical step, not a failure.

Account protections and support

Inetbet Casino may provide account features intended to support safer gambling, such as spending controls, activity information, temporary breaks or self-exclusion. The availability, operation and processing of these features may depend on the account, applicable requirements and the information shown on the website. Read the instructions carefully and contact the available customer support channel if you need help using an account control.

A temporary break can help you step away from gambling for a chosen period. Self-exclusion is a stronger measure for people who want to prevent themselves from gambling for a longer period. If you request self-exclusion, do not create or use another account to continue playing. If you believe an account restriction has not been applied correctly, stop using the service and raise the issue through the available support process.

You are responsible for keeping your account information secure and for providing accurate information when requested. Do not allow another person to use your account, and do not gamble on behalf of anyone else. Gambling services may apply age, identity, location and other eligibility checks. People who are not legally permitted to gamble must not use the service.

Our approach

We aim to provide clear information about gambling risks and available safer-gambling tools. We may review account activity where appropriate and may take steps in line with our policies and applicable requirements. These measures cannot remove all gambling risk, so personal limits and responsible choices remain important.

If you have concerns about your gambling or someone else's gambling, take action early. Review the responsible-gambling information available through your account, use the controls offered, and seek independent support in Australia. Inetbet Casino cannot provide medical, psychological, legal or financial advice, but professional services can help you identify suitable next steps.
