Responsible Gaming

What responsible gaming means

Responsible gaming means making informed choices about when, how often and how much you gamble. It includes understanding that casino games are based on chance, accepting that losses can occur, and keeping gambling within an amount you can comfortably afford to lose. No strategy can guarantee a win, and previous results do not determine what will happen on the next game.

Gambling should be treated as entertainment rather than an investment, income source or solution to financial problems. Never gamble with money set aside for rent, bills, food, study, loan repayments or other essential expenses. It is also important not to gamble with borrowed money, credit that you cannot repay, or funds belonging to another person.

Before you play, consider whether you are in the right frame of mind. Avoid gambling when you are upset, under the influence of alcohol or other substances, tired, or trying to recover losses. Taking a break and returning later can help you make clearer decisions. Gambling is an adult activity and must not be used by anyone under the applicable legal age.

• Only gamble with money you have planned to spend on entertainment.
• Decide how much time and money you can afford before starting.
• Keep gambling separate from household and essential spending.
• Do not chase losses or increase stakes to try to win back money.
• Do not allow other people to use your account.
• Take regular breaks and stop when your planned session ends.
• Do not gamble to impress someone, prove a point or cope with difficult emotions.
• Remember that a win is never guaranteed, regardless of your previous results.

Tools to help you stay in control

Planning your gambling in advance can make it easier to stay within your limits. Robocat Casino may provide account controls and safer gambling features that allow you to manage aspects of your play. The tools available to you may depend on your account, location and the applicable rules. Check your account settings or contact the available customer support channel for information about the options that apply to you.

Deposit and spending limits

Where available, a deposit limit can help you control the amount added to your account over a chosen period. Set a limit before you begin playing and choose an amount that fits comfortably within your entertainment budget. A limit is not a guarantee that you will win or avoid losses; it is a practical budgeting tool. Do not set a limit using money needed for everyday commitments.

Time limits and reminders

Time can pass quickly during online play. Use session reminders, time limits or other account features where available. Consider setting an alarm or recording your start time independently. When a reminder tells you that your planned session has ended, stop playing and take a meaningful break rather than continuing automatically.

Account and activity information

Review your deposits, withdrawals, bets and playing history regularly. Looking at your activity can help you identify patterns that are difficult to notice while playing. If the amount of time or money you spend is increasing, pause your account and reassess whether gambling remains suitable for you. Keeping a simple personal record of your entertainment spending may also help you maintain an accurate view of your activity.

Cooling-off and account restrictions

If you need a short break, a cooling-off or temporary restriction may be appropriate where available. A longer restriction or self-exclusion can prevent access to gambling for a selected period or until the relevant requirements are met. Read the conditions carefully before confirming a restriction, as it may affect access to your account and cannot necessarily be reversed early.

Practical steps before playing

• Set a personal budget that does not affect essential expenses.
• Choose a session length and plan when you will stop.
• Keep your account details and payment methods secure.
• Avoid playing while distracted, distressed or affected by substances.
• Treat any losses as the cost of entertainment, not a debt to recover.

Recognising when gambling may be a problem

Problem gambling can affect people from every background. It may develop gradually, and you do not need to wait for serious financial harm before seeking help. Consider taking action if gambling is becoming difficult to control, causing distress, or affecting your relationships, work, study or health.

• Spending more time or money gambling than you originally intended.
• Repeatedly trying to win back losses or feeling unable to stop after losing.
• Hiding or minimising gambling activity from family, friends or other people.
• Borrowing money, selling possessions or missing bills because of gambling.
• Feeling restless, irritable or anxious when trying to cut down or stop.
• Thinking about gambling during work, study, family time or other responsibilities.
• Using gambling to escape stress, sadness, loneliness or other difficult feelings.
• Arguing with people close to you about gambling or experiencing relationship problems.
• Neglecting sleep, health, work or personal responsibilities because of play.
• Continuing to gamble despite knowing that it is causing harm.

These signs do not provide a diagnosis, but they are reasons to pause and seek support. You can start by stopping play, withdrawing any available balance in accordance with the relevant account process, reviewing your activity and speaking honestly with someone you trust. Avoid trying to solve gambling-related financial problems by gambling more.

If gambling is affecting your finances, consider speaking with an independent financial counsellor before taking further action with money or credit. If it is affecting your mood, sleep or relationships, a qualified health or mental health professional may also be able to help. Seeking assistance early can make it easier to create a practical plan and reduce the impact on you and the people around you.

If you feel distressed or unsafe, seek immediate assistance from an appropriate emergency or health service in your area. For gambling-related support in Australia, consider Gambling Help Online or a relevant state or territory service. Qualified counsellors can provide confidential guidance, including help with financial concerns, relationships and making a plan to stop or reduce gambling.

Self-exclusion and taking a break

Self-exclusion is a formal way to restrict your access to online gambling. It can be useful if you have decided that you do not want to gamble for a specific period or want stronger protection than ordinary limits provide. Depending on the process available, self-exclusion may prevent you from logging in, depositing, placing bets or opening another account during the exclusion period.

To request self-exclusion or another account restriction, use the responsible gaming or account support options available through Robocat Casino. State clearly that you want to stop or restrict gambling and follow the instructions provided. If you ask for self-exclusion, do not create or use another account to get around the restriction. You should also remove saved payment methods, uninstall gambling applications and avoid promotional messages where possible.

A self-exclusion request may apply to the account or service covered by the relevant process. It may not automatically apply to every gambling provider, website or venue. Consider using broader exclusion arrangements available in your state or territory if you want protection across multiple operators. Read the terms of any exclusion programme carefully so you understand its coverage, duration and reactivation rules.

A cooling-off period may be suitable when you want to step away for a shorter time and reflect on your gambling. Self-exclusion may be more appropriate when you have decided to stop for longer or want to prevent yourself from returning during a specified period. If you are uncertain which option is right for you, ask the available support team or an independent counsellor for general information.

If you are helping another person, respect their decision to take a break and do not encourage them to gamble. Account access must remain personal and secure. Robocat Casino may apply account restrictions or other measures where required by applicable law, safer gambling procedures or account security requirements.

Getting help and staying informed

Asking for help is a positive step, whether you want to reduce your gambling, stop completely or understand your options. You can speak with a trusted friend or family member, a qualified counsellor, a financial counsellor or a health professional. Support can help you make a practical plan and address the reasons gambling may have become difficult to manage.

If you contact Robocat Casino about safer gambling, explain the type of help you need. Available support may include information about limits, account history, cooling-off periods, self-exclusion and account closure. Customer support cannot guarantee gambling results, recover losses or provide personal financial advice. For independent assistance, use an appropriately qualified gambling, mental health or financial support service.

A simple plan for taking control

1. Stop playing and do not deposit further funds.
2. Review your recent activity and identify the amount of time and money involved.
3. Set a limit, cooling-off period or self-exclusion request where available.
4. Tell someone you trust what is happening and ask them to support your plan.
5. Arrange independent gambling, financial or health support if you need it.
6. Remove easy access to gambling and avoid attempts to chase losses.
7. Review your progress and seek further help if your first plan is difficult to maintain.

Robocat Casino encourages all players to review their gambling choices regularly. Please read the applicable account terms and safer gambling information before playing. If gambling stops being enjoyable or begins to affect your wellbeing, finances or relationships, stop and seek support. A break taken early can help prevent further harm.

Responsible gaming is an ongoing process. Your circumstances, budget and priorities can change, so a limit that seemed suitable previously may no longer be appropriate. Reassess your choices regularly, keep gambling separate from essential spending and act promptly if you notice warning signs. There is no need to justify taking a break, closing an account or asking for support.
