Responsible Gaming

Gamble for entertainment

Gambling can be enjoyable when it is kept within clear personal and financial boundaries. Before you play, decide how much time and money you are comfortable spending. Treat that amount as an entertainment expense, similar to the cost of another leisure activity. Only gamble with money you can afford to lose, and never use money needed for rent, bills, food, education, debt repayments or other essential expenses.

There is no guaranteed strategy for winning casino games. Game results are determined by chance, and previous results do not predict future outcomes. A losing session does not make a win more likely, while a winning session does not mean that another win will follow. Avoid chasing losses, increasing your stakes to recover money or borrowing money to continue playing.

• Set a gambling budget before you start and keep to it.
• Set a time limit and take regular breaks away from the screen.
• Keep gambling separate from everyday spending and household finances.
• Do not gamble when you are upset, stressed, tired or under the influence of alcohol or other substances.
• Do not view gambling as a source of income or a solution to financial pressure.
• Remember that you can stop playing at any time, regardless of whether you are winning or losing.

Only people who meet the applicable legal age and other legal requirements should use online gambling services. Do not allow another person to use your account, and take reasonable steps to keep your login information private. If someone in your household may be affected by your gambling, consider discussing your limits and using available account controls.

Tools to help you stay in control

Planning your gambling before you play can make it easier to stay in control. Consider setting personal spending and session limits that reflect your income, commitments and comfort level. A limit should be realistic, and it should not be changed simply because you have lost money or want to continue playing.

Budget and deposit planning

Use a separate gambling budget and decide in advance how often you will add funds. Keep a record of deposits, withdrawals, time spent playing and the results of your sessions. Looking at your activity honestly can help you identify patterns that are easy to overlook while you are playing. If you cannot stay within the budget you set, stop gambling and seek assistance.

Time-outs and breaks

A temporary break can be useful if you feel distracted by gambling, are playing for longer than planned or want to reassess your habits. During a break, remove gambling applications or shortcuts where appropriate, avoid promotional messages and fill your time with other activities. If the available account settings include a time-out or cooling-off option, consider using it before you continue playing.

Self-exclusion

Self-exclusion is a stronger step for people who want to stop gambling for a defined period or indefinitely. If you choose self-exclusion, follow the instructions provided through your account or the casino's support process. Do not create another account or ask someone else to gamble on your behalf. Self-exclusion works best when combined with support from a trusted person and an appropriate gambling counsellor.

Account controls and support options may vary according to the service, your location and applicable requirements. If you are unsure how to use a control, contact the casino through the support options shown on the website. No support process should require you to provide more personal information than is reasonably needed to manage your request.

Recognising when gambling may be a problem

Problem gambling can develop gradually. It is not defined only by the amount of money lost. Gambling may be becoming harmful if it affects your mood, relationships, work, study, health or ability to meet financial responsibilities. You do not need to wait for a major crisis before asking for help.

• Spending more time or money gambling than you planned.
• Trying to win back losses by continuing to play or increasing your stakes.
• Feeling restless, irritable or anxious when you try to stop.
• Hiding gambling activity, losses or transactions from family and friends.
• Borrowing money, selling belongings or missing payments to fund gambling.
• Neglecting work, study, relationships, sleep or other important activities.
• Gambling to escape stress, sadness, loneliness or other difficult feelings.
• Making repeated promises to stop or cut back but finding it difficult to do so.
• Feeling guilty, ashamed or distressed after gambling.

If any of these signs sound familiar, stop and take a break. Avoid trying to manage the situation by chasing losses. Tell someone you trust what is happening and consider speaking with a qualified gambling counsellor or financial counsellor. Support is available in Australia through gambling help services in your state or territory, including confidential counselling and information about practical next steps.

You can also ask a trusted person to help you review your finances, activate account restrictions or stay accountable during a break. If gambling is causing immediate danger, severe distress or thoughts of self-harm, contact emergency services or an urgent crisis support service in Australia without delay.

Our approach and your responsibilities

God Of Wins Casino supports responsible gambling and aims to provide clear information so players can make informed decisions. We encourage players to use available account controls, take breaks and contact support when they have questions about their play. Responsible gambling is a shared responsibility, and we expect players to provide accurate information where required and to follow applicable account and service rules.

If you tell us that gambling is becoming difficult to control, our support team may explain the available restrictions, breaks or self-exclusion process. We may also ask questions to understand your request and help apply an appropriate account measure. A restriction may affect access to the account or services, and it should not be removed or avoided by opening another account.

Protecting young people and other household members

Online gambling services are intended only for people who satisfy the applicable legal age requirements. Keep devices, passwords and payment information secure, and use suitable parental or device controls where appropriate. Do not share your account with anyone, including friends or family members. If another person may be using your account, stop access and contact support through the website's available channels.

Getting help

You can seek help even if you are unsure whether your gambling is a problem. A gambling support service can help you understand your behaviour, plan a break, manage urges and consider financial or relationship concerns. Services may also support family members and friends affected by another person's gambling. Look for a recognised gambling support service available in your Australian state or territory, or speak with a qualified health professional.

Responsible gambling information is general in nature and is not a substitute for professional financial, legal, medical or counselling advice. If you need immediate help, use the appropriate emergency or crisis support service for your situation.
