Five controls

Can you change your limits whenever you want?

Worrying that one heavy evening will undo your budget, this block answers it.

Cap before you deposit

This caps how much you can move into your account over a period you pick. Switch it on before your first deposit, while the budget is still a figure on paper.

Choose before, not after

This sets the most you are willing to lose, so a session ends on a number you chose beforehand. Turn it on when you want the evening to stop without a decision.

A nod that time passed

A message arrives during play to tell you how long you have been sitting there. Use it when play slips past the time you had in mind.

Room to step back

This puts a break on your account for a stretch you select, and play stops for that window. Take one when you need distance rather than a permanent step.

When a break falls short

This closes your access to play for a period you set, and it is the firmer of the two pauses. Choose it when a break is not enough and you want the door shut.

A limit in minutes

You have decided on a figure, now place it

By the end you know exactly where a limit lives and how to confirm it stuck.

Find the limits section

Sign in and open the settings area of your account, where personal details and play controls sit together. Check you are on the limits section and not the payment page.

Match the concern

Decide whether you want to cap what goes in, what goes out, or how long you stay. Pick the one that matches the worry you came with.

Covering your play window

Choose how long the limit should run and confirm it covers the stretch you play. A shorter window is easy to renew later if you need it.

Before and after saving

Save the setting, then return to the limits page and check the figure is displayed as you entered it. Before play begins is the right moment: what was set holds.

Confidential help

When the worry is bigger than the game

Here is who to contact in Australia, at what hour, and what each service asks of you.

National Gambling Helpline

Answers at any hour of any day, free of charge, for players and relatives alike: telephone and online counselling, self-help tools and a directory of local services. 1800 858 858 gamblinghelponline.org.au

Gamblers Anonymous Australia

Runs peer support meetings across the country, where people who gamble and their relatives sit with others in the same position and speak plainly. gaaustralia.org.au

National Debt Helpline

Gives free financial counselling for debts that gambling has caused, open on weekdays from 9:30 to 16:30 for players and for family members carrying the same debt. ndh.org.au

A day off or months out

Hours or days off. A time-out is a short break you set inside your account, for hours or days, chosen before play rather than after a loss. Start it from the account itself; while it runs, play stays closed to you.

Ready to close the door? Self-exclusion shuts your account for a long stretch you choose, and it cannot be undone early. You set it in the account, and access stays closed until the period you picked runs out.

What does BetStop actually do? BetStop is the national self-exclusion register run by the Australian Government through ACMA for licensed online and phone wagering. Registration lasts at least 3 months, up to a lifetime, and takes about 5 minutes online, with a support person allowed to help. betstop.gov.au

Stands between a child and the page

ID Before the First Payout. Nobody under 18 opens an account, and a photo ID confirms the date of birth before any payout leaves. Verification also waits on proof of address and a card image.

Device-Level Blocks. Your own gameplay can be locked out on a shared device without touching anyone's account. Gambling-blocking software at the device level keeps the sites closed to every user of that phone or computer.

Do I Call for Someone Else? Approaching without blame works better than an argument about money. The National Gambling Helpline on 1800 858 858 is open at any hour for partners and parents, not only for players.

Is this still entertainment for you?

Noticing these signs early gives you room to act while choices are still easy. A deposit limit or a short pause is the first step, and neither costs you anything to set.

Read these slowly and see how many describe the way you play now.

Chasing a loss with a bigger deposit
Playing past the time you planned
Borrowing money to keep playing
Hiding your play from your partner
Feeling flat or edgy when you stop
Deposits creeping past your weekly budget
Playing to fix money trouble, not for fun

Plain Answers

When the limit needs to move

Whether a setting you choose now can be undone later, and by whom.

Can I change my deposit limit further down the line?+

Yes. Each limit lives in the same section of the account where you set it, so a revision is made there and nowhere else. Lowering a figure is the case worth doing early, well before your next deposit.

Can I end a self-exclusion on Spinko before it runs out?+

No. A self-exclusion runs for the full period you picked when you set it, and the casino does not lift it early. Choosing the length carefully at the start matters more than choosing it fast.

Why is an ID needed just to play?+

Because play here is for adults of 18 and over, and the date of birth has to be shown rather than assumed. Photo ID also has to match the name on the account before a withdrawal is released.

Will excluding myself here stop me at other casinos?+

No. A self-exclusion set in this account covers this account only. BetStop, the national register run by the Australian Government through ACMA, is the route that reaches licensed providers across the country.

What happens during a cooling-off period?+

Play stops for the length of the pause you chose, while your balance and history stay where they are. Once the pause ends, the account opens again without a request from you; a self-exclusion asks for far more.
