Responsible Gambling

Our Commitment to Responsible Gambling

At RoyalGame Casino, we believe that entertainment should always be enjoyable and safe. We are committed to promoting responsible gambling practices and providing our players with the tools and support they need to maintain control of their gaming experience. We recognise that gambling should never be viewed as a way to make money or solve financial problems, and we take our duty of care seriously.

We operate under strict Australian gambling regulations and hold ourselves to the highest standards of player protection. Our aim is to create an environment where players can enjoy gaming responsibly while being fully informed about the risks involved.

Recognising Problem Gambling

Problem gambling can develop gradually and may affect anyone, regardless of age, background, or income. Being aware of the warning signs is an important step in maintaining control. If you recognise any of these signs in yourself or someone you know, it may be time to seek support:

• Spending more time or money on gambling than intended
• Thinking about gambling frequently, even when not playing
• Needing to gamble with larger amounts to achieve the same level of excitement
• Feeling restless or irritable when trying to reduce or stop gambling
• Using gambling as a way to escape problems or negative emotions
• Continuing to gamble despite negative consequences or financial losses
• Lying to family, friends, or others about gambling activities
• Neglecting work, study, or personal relationships due to gambling
• Borrowing money or going into debt to fund gambling
• Failed attempts to cut back or control gambling behaviour

Self-Assessment

Taking time to reflect on your gambling habits can help you maintain a healthy relationship with gaming. Consider asking yourself these questions:

• Am I gambling with money I can afford to lose?
• Is gambling affecting my finances, relationships, or work?
• Do I feel pressured to gamble or chase losses?
• Am I using gambling to cope with stress, anxiety, or sadness?
• Have I tried to reduce my gambling and found it difficult?
• Are my friends or family concerned about my gambling?

If you answered yes to any of these questions, it may be helpful to review your gambling habits or reach out to a support service.

Setting Personal Limits

One of the most effective ways to gamble responsibly is to set clear personal limits before you start playing. RoyalGame Casino provides several tools to help you maintain control:

Deposit Limits

Set a maximum amount you are willing to deposit within a specified period. Once this limit is reached, you will not be able to deposit further funds until the period resets. This helps ensure you only spend what you can afford.

Loss Limits

Establish a maximum amount you are willing to lose during a set timeframe. When you reach this limit, your account will be restricted from further play, protecting you from chasing losses.

Time Limits

Set a maximum duration for your gaming sessions. Our system will remind you when your time limit is approaching, and your account will be suspended when the limit is reached.

Wager Limits

Control the maximum stake you can place on individual bets. This helps slow down your play and reduces the potential for significant losses on a single wager.

All limits can be adjusted through your account settings at any time, though reductions take effect immediately and increases may be subject to a cooling-off period.

Self-Exclusion and Cooling-Off Periods

If you feel you need a break from gambling, RoyalGame Casino offers self-exclusion options to help you take control:

Cooling-Off Period

Request a temporary suspension of your account for a period of 24 hours to 6 weeks. During this time, you will be unable to access your account or place any bets. This option is ideal if you need a short break to reassess your gambling habits.

Self-Exclusion

Opt for a longer-term self-exclusion lasting from 6 months to a permanent ban from our platform. During a self-exclusion period, your account will be completely closed, and you will be unable to open a new account or access any gaming services through RoyalGame Casino.

Self-exclusion requests can be made through your account settings or by contacting our support team. Once activated, self-exclusion cannot be reversed during the selected period, except in limited circumstances as permitted by law.

Reality Checks and Session Reminders

RoyalGame Casino uses regular reality checks to help players maintain awareness during their gaming sessions. These reminders will inform you of how long you have been playing, how much you have wagered, and your current balance. Reality checks appear at regular intervals and can be customised based on your preferences.

Session reminders encourage you to take breaks and step away from the screen. Taking regular breaks helps maintain perspective and prevents excessive play.

Protection of Minors

RoyalGame Casino is strictly for players aged 18 years and over in Australia. We have zero tolerance for underage gambling and implement robust verification processes to ensure only eligible players can access our platform.

We encourage parents and guardians to discuss responsible gambling with young people and to use parental control software to restrict access to gambling websites. If you are aware of a minor using RoyalGame Casino, please report this immediately to our support team.
