Responsible Gaming

Gambling involves risk, and there is no guaranteed way to win. Games may be based on chance or other outcomes that cannot be controlled by a player. Past results do not predict future results, and a run of losses does not mean that a win is due. You should never view gambling as a source of income, a way to repay debts or a solution to financial difficulties.

Only gamble with money that you can comfortably afford to lose after essential costs have been paid. Decide how much time and money you are prepared to spend before you begin, and stop when you reach your limit. Keeping gambling separate from household bills, savings and credit commitments can make it easier to maintain control.

• Be aged 18 or over before gambling.
• Set a personal budget and time limit before you play.
• Keep track of deposits, wagers and losses rather than relying on memory.
• 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 your stakes or continuing for longer than planned.
• Never borrow money, use essential funds or sell belongings to gamble.
• Do not gamble to escape personal problems or difficult emotions.
• Treat wins as part of the entertainment experience rather than guaranteed income.
• Do not assume that a particular game, system or strategy can guarantee a result.
• Stop playing if gambling no longer feels enjoyable or is causing concern.

It can also help to tell someone you trust about your gambling plans. A friend, partner or family member may provide useful encouragement and help you notice changes in your behaviour. If gambling is affecting your relationships, work, study, health or finances, consider taking a break and seeking independent support.

Gambling is not a way to recover losses

One of the most common risks is chasing losses. This happens when a player continues gambling or increases their stakes in an attempt to recover money that has already been lost. Chasing can make losses larger and may lead to decisions that would not normally be made. A loss is not a reason to continue, and there is no point at which a game must produce a win.

Responsible gaming tools are designed to help you manage your activity. Depending on what is available through your account, you may be able to set or request deposit limits, wagering limits, loss limits, session reminders, time limits or a temporary break. These tools are most effective when chosen before gambling begins and applied consistently.

Set limits before you play

Choose an amount and period that suit your personal circumstances. A limit should be based on your disposable entertainment budget, not on the amount you hope to win. Once your limit has been reached, stop gambling for that period. Do not change a limit simply because you are losing or because you believe a win may be close. Your limit should remain affordable even if you do not win anything.

Monitor your time and spending

Review your account activity regularly and consider how much time you spend playing. Make a note of deposits, withdrawals, wagers and losses so that you have an accurate picture of your activity. If you find that you are spending more than intended, take a break and review your limits before playing again. Setting reminders away from the gambling website can also help you finish a session on time.

Take a break or self-exclude

If you feel that you need more control, you can request a temporary account break or self-exclusion where this option is available. Self-exclusion is a formal request to prevent or restrict access to gambling for a chosen period. During a self-exclusion period, you should not attempt to create another account or use another person's account. If you believe you need a longer-term break, seek advice from an independent gambling support service.

If you want to use a responsible gaming tool, review the relevant account settings or contact the site's support team through the available website channels. Requests may require identity or account verification. You should continue to follow any limits or restrictions that have already been applied to your account.

Keep your account secure

Your account should only be used by you. Do not share login details, payment methods or access with another person. Keeping your account secure helps prevent unauthorised activity and supports accurate monitoring of your gambling. Use privacy and device controls where appropriate, particularly if other people can access a shared computer, phone or tablet.

Problem gambling can develop gradually. It is not measured only by the amount of money lost. Gambling may be becoming harmful when it takes more time, attention or money than you intended, or when you feel unable to stop despite negative consequences. Any concern about your gambling is a valid reason to pause and seek advice.

• Thinking about gambling frequently or feeling restless when you cannot play.
• Spending more time or money gambling than planned.
• Increasing bet amounts to achieve the same excitement.
• Trying to win back money after a loss.
• Hiding, minimising or giving misleading information about gambling.
• Borrowing money, missing payments or using credit to continue gambling.
• Neglecting work, study, family, friendships or other responsibilities.
• Feeling anxious, guilty, irritable or low because of gambling.
• Attempting to stop or cut back but finding that you cannot.
• Gambling for longer or with more money after deciding to stop.
• Using gambling to cope with stress, loneliness, boredom or other difficult feelings.
• Arguing with people close to you about how often or how much you gamble.

If any of these signs feel familiar, take them seriously. Stop gambling, use available limits or exclusion tools and speak with someone you trust. You do not need to wait until a crisis to ask for help. Independent support services can provide confidential advice, practical strategies and assistance with financial or relationship concerns.

Consider a personal check-in

Ask yourself how much time and money you have spent recently, whether you are still within your planned budget and whether you can stop when you intend to. Consider whether you have hidden or downplayed your gambling, missed important responsibilities or felt pressure to continue after a loss. Honest answers can help you decide whether to reduce your activity, use a break or seek further assistance.

Gambling is for adults aged 18 and over only. Adults should take reasonable steps to prevent children and young people from accessing gambling services, including keeping passwords private, using device controls and supervising access to shared devices. Do not allow another person to use your account, regardless of their age.

If gambling is causing harm to you or someone close to you, contact an appropriate Australian gambling support service for confidential information and assistance. Support may include counselling, help with setting boundaries, financial guidance and referrals to other services. You can also speak with a qualified health professional or a trusted person in your life.

People who are affected by someone else's gambling can also seek support. Partners, family members and friends may experience financial pressure, stress or relationship difficulties even when they do not gamble themselves. Sharing concerns with a suitable support service can help you understand your options and establish safer boundaries.

If you are experiencing immediate danger, severe distress or thoughts of self-harm, stop gambling and seek urgent assistance through local emergency services or an appropriate crisis support service. Your safety is more important than any account, balance or gambling activity.

Avengers Casino encourages players to review their gambling habits regularly. Responsible gaming is a shared responsibility. We aim to provide information and account tools that support informed choices, but each player must decide whether gambling is suitable for their circumstances. If you are unsure, the safest choice is not to gamble. Please review this page before playing and return to it whenever you need a reminder of safer gambling practices.
