Responsible Gaming

Our approach to safer gambling

Responsible gaming means making informed choices, understanding the risks and keeping gambling within limits that are affordable for you. No gambling activity is risk-free. Games are designed for entertainment, and outcomes are determined by chance or by the rules of the relevant game. Past results do not predict future results, and a winning streak does not make another win more likely.

Corgibet Casino provides information intended to help players make considered decisions about their play. We encourage you to think about how often you gamble, how much time and money you spend, and how gambling affects your mood, relationships and everyday responsibilities. You should only gamble with money that you can afford to lose after essential living costs and other financial commitments have been covered.

• Treat gambling as entertainment rather than a source of income.
• Decide your time and spending limits before you start playing.
• Never chase losses or increase your stake to try to recover money.
• Do not gamble with borrowed money, credit intended for essential costs or money needed by others.
• Avoid gambling when you are upset, stressed, tired or affected by alcohol or other substances.
• Take regular breaks and give yourself time away from gambling.
• Keep gambling separate from important financial, family and work decisions.

Responsible gaming is a shared responsibility. We provide tools and information where available, but you remain responsible for using those tools and making decisions that suit your circumstances. If you are not sure whether gambling is remaining enjoyable and manageable, taking a break and speaking with an independent support service can be a useful first step.

Set limits before you play

Planning your gambling in advance can make it easier to stay in control. Before opening a game or making a deposit, decide how much money and time you are prepared to spend. Your limit should be based on your personal budget, not on the result you hope to achieve. Once the limit is reached, stop playing rather than changing the limit during an emotional or impulsive moment.

Practical ways to stay within your limits

1. Create a gambling budget using only spare money left after rent or mortgage payments, household bills, food, transport, savings and other essentials.
2. Choose a session length before you begin and use an alarm, calendar reminder or another practical method to help you stop on time.
3. Record your deposits, withdrawals, wins, losses and time spent. Looking at your overall activity can provide a more accurate picture than focusing on one result.
4. Set deposit, spend or wagering limits through the account features available to you, if those features are offered.
5. Consider setting limits that are lower than the maximum available. A lower limit may give you more time to reconsider your decision before spending more.
6. Avoid using several accounts or payment methods to get around a limit. If you feel an urge to do this, stop gambling and seek support.
7. Do not borrow money or sell belongings to fund gambling. Financial pressure is a reason to pause, not a reason to continue.

A limit is most effective when it is agreed before play and treated as a firm boundary. If you find yourself repeatedly changing limits, depositing more than planned or continuing after deciding to stop, this may indicate that gambling is becoming harder to control. Consider using a longer break or self-exclusion option where available, and talk to a qualified support professional.

Remember the nature of gambling outcomes

There is no reliable strategy that can guarantee a win. A game cannot be influenced by a player's previous results, and a loss does not create an obligation for the next game to pay out. Be cautious of systems, tips or claims that suggest losses can always be recovered. Set a loss limit as well as a spending limit, and leave the game when that limit is reached.

Recognise when gambling may be causing harm

Problem gambling can affect anyone, including people who have gambled casually for a long time. Harm may develop gradually, and it is not always measured by the size of a person's losses. Spending more time thinking about gambling, hiding activity from others or feeling unable to stop can all be signs that additional support may be helpful.

You may wish to pause and seek advice if one or more of the following statements applies to you:

• You gamble for longer than you planned or continue after deciding to stop.
• You spend more money than your budget allows or feel anxious about gambling expenses.
• You chase losses by increasing stakes or returning quickly after a losing session.
• You borrow money, use credit or sell possessions to continue gambling.
• You hide your gambling, deposits, losses or time spent from family, friends or colleagues.
• You argue with people close to you about gambling or neglect work, study, caring duties or other responsibilities.
• You feel restless, irritable or distressed when trying to reduce or stop gambling.
• You gamble to escape loneliness, stress, sadness, anger or other difficult feelings.
• You think about gambling during most of the day or plan your life around the next opportunity to play.
• You have tried to cut back or stop but have not been able to maintain the change.

These signs do not represent a diagnosis, but they should be taken seriously. You do not need to wait until a crisis to ask for help. A trusted person, general practitioner, counsellor or gambling support service can help you understand what is happening and discuss practical next steps. Support can also help family members and friends who are affected by another person's gambling.

If gambling has caused significant financial stress, consider speaking with a qualified financial counsellor before taking out credit or making decisions under pressure. If you feel unsafe, are in immediate danger or are thinking about harming yourself, contact emergency services or an appropriate crisis service in your area without delay.

Breaks, self-exclusion and account support

Taking a break can be a useful way to create distance from gambling. A short break may help you review your habits, while a longer break or self-exclusion may be more appropriate if you want to prevent access for a defined period. Choose the option that matches your needs and read the information carefully before confirming it.

When to consider a break

• You feel unable to stop during a session.
• You are gambling more frequently or spending more than planned.
• You are using gambling to manage difficult emotions.
• You are concerned about the effect of gambling on your relationships, work or finances.
• You are trying to cut back and need additional space from gambling activities.
• Someone you trust has expressed concern about your gambling.

Account controls and safer gambling options may be available through the account area or through customer support channels shown on this website. The available options, settings and conditions may vary. Read the relevant instructions, select a period that you can commit to and do not create another account to avoid a restriction. If you ask for help, provide clear information about the support or restriction you need.

If you believe you may be at risk of losing control, stopping access completely may be more suitable than simply reducing a limit. You can also take practical steps outside your account, such as removing saved payment details, using device controls, asking a trusted person to help manage finances and avoiding online or in-person gambling environments.

Corgibet Casino may apply account checks, restrictions or other measures where required by applicable rules or where activity raises responsible gaming concerns. These measures are not a substitute for personal support. If an account action does not address your situation, contact an independent gambling support service or health professional.

Protect yourself and others

Gambling accounts should be used only by the registered account holder. Keep your login information, devices and payment details secure, and do not allow another person to gamble through your account. If someone else has access to your account or payment method, change your security details and seek assistance through the support channels available on this website.

Gambling is not suitable for children or young people. Do not open an account or gamble if you are under the applicable legal age. Parents, carers and household members can reduce access by using device settings, keeping payment information private and talking openly about the risks of gambling. Online safety tools may also help limit access to gambling content on shared devices.

A simple safer gambling checklist

• Have I set a realistic budget that will not affect essential expenses?
• Have I decided when I will stop playing?
• Am I comfortable with the amount I may lose?
• Am I gambling for entertainment rather than to make money or solve a problem?
• Can I stop without changing my limits or making another deposit?
• Am I keeping gambling separate from alcohol, drugs and strong emotions?
• Would I be comfortable discussing my gambling with someone I trust?
• If I am worried, have I taken a break or looked for independent support?

Australian gambling laws and support arrangements can differ between states and territories. Make sure you understand the rules that apply where you live and use services that are appropriate for your circumstances. If you have concerns about your gambling, act early. Reducing access, setting firm limits and speaking with a qualified professional can help you regain control.

Corgibet Casino encourages every player to make informed choices and to stop whenever gambling is no longer enjoyable, affordable or manageable. Responsible gaming information is general in nature and is not a substitute for personal legal, financial, medical or counselling advice.
