Responsible Gaming

At Allstars Casino, responsible gaming means keeping gambling enjoyable, affordable and within your control. Gambling should be treated as entertainment, not as a way to make money, solve financial problems or recover losses. Take time to understand your habits, set limits that suit your circumstances and seek support if gambling stops feeling manageable.

Gamble for entertainment

Gambling involves risk. There is no guaranteed way to win, and past results do not predict future outcomes. Every game has its own rules and probabilities, and the result of each round or wager is determined independently. A winning streak does not mean that another win is due, and a loss does not make a win more likely. Avoid systems or claims that suggest losses can be reliably recovered through further play.

Gamble for entertainment Tools to help you stay in control Recognising when gambling may be a problem Protecting yourself and others

Before you play, decide how much time and money you are comfortable spending. Only use money that is available after essential expenses such as housing, food, utilities, education and debt repayments have been covered. Never gamble with borrowed money, money needed for bills or funds set aside for important commitments. Consider your gambling spend as an entertainment cost, in the same way you would budget for other leisure activities.

Set a personal budget before opening a game or placing a wager, and do not increase it simply because you have lost or because you feel confident about winning. It can also help to decide how long you will play and to take regular breaks. Keeping a record of deposits, wagers, wins, losses and time spent can make your habits easier to understand.

Set a spending limit for each session, day or week and stick to it.
Set a time limit and stop when that time has ended.
Take regular breaks away from the website and your device.
Do not chase losses or increase stakes to try to get money back.
Avoid gambling when you are upset, stressed, tired, intoxicated or under pressure.
Keep gambling separate from essential household funds and financial commitments.
Do not borrow money or sell possessions to fund gambling.
Remember that a promotion or bonus does not remove the risk of losing money.

Tools to help you stay in control

Practical controls can help you manage your activity before it becomes difficult. Depending on the features available on your account, you may be able to set deposit, spending, wagering or loss limits, use activity reminders, pause your account or request a longer-term exclusion. Read the conditions of each control carefully, including when it takes effect and how long it remains active.

Set limits before you play

A limit is most effective when it is chosen in advance and based on an affordable entertainment budget. Once a limit has been reached, do not try to bypass it by opening another account, using another payment method or asking someone else to play on your behalf. If you need help applying a limit, use the responsible gaming or account support options available through the website.

Take a break

A short break can help you reassess your habits and make a clear decision about whether to continue. During a break, avoid logging in through another account or device. If a short break does not feel sufficient, consider requesting a longer account closure or self-exclusion. You can contact the website through its official support channels to ask about the options available to you.

Self-exclusion

Self-exclusion is a formal request to prevent or restrict access to gambling services for a chosen period or, where available, on an ongoing basis. It is intended for people who want stronger support to stop gambling. If you request self-exclusion, provide accurate information and do not attempt to create or use another account. You should also consider asking your bank or payment provider whether it offers gambling transaction controls.

Decide whether you need a limit, a temporary break or self-exclusion.
Use the account settings or official support process to submit your request.
Check when the control begins and keep a record of its duration.
Remove saved payment methods and gambling reminders where appropriate.
Tell a trusted person so they can support your decision.
If you are still concerned, seek independent professional help.

Recognising when gambling may be a problem

Gambling can become harmful gradually. A person may begin by spending more time or money than planned, then find it increasingly difficult to stop. The following signs may indicate that gambling is affecting your wellbeing, relationships or finances. One sign on its own does not provide a diagnosis, but several signs should be taken seriously.

Spending more money or time gambling than you intended.
Thinking about gambling frequently or feeling restless when trying to stop.
Chasing losses or gambling to recover money that has already been lost.
Hiding gambling activity, deposits, transactions or losses from other people.
Borrowing money, missing payments or selling items because of gambling.
Using gambling to cope with stress, loneliness, anxiety, sadness or other problems.
Arguing with family, friends or colleagues about gambling.
Neglecting work, study, health, sleep or other responsibilities.
Trying to cut back or stop but returning to gambling repeatedly.
Feeling guilt, shame, anger or distress after gambling.

If any of these signs apply, stop and take a break rather than trying to win back losses. Speak openly with someone you trust and consider contacting an independent gambling support service in Australia. Trained counsellors and health professionals can help you understand what is happening, make a plan and address related financial or emotional concerns. You do not need to wait for a crisis before asking for help.

If gambling is causing immediate financial, emotional or personal danger, seek urgent assistance from an appropriate emergency or crisis service. If you feel at risk of harming yourself or someone else, contact emergency services or a crisis support service in your area without delay.

Protecting yourself and others

Gambling accounts are personal and should only be used by the verified account holder. Do not share your password, payment details or account access with another person, and do not allow another person to gamble through your account. Use a strong, unique password and take reasonable steps to secure the devices and email account connected to your profile.

Age and access

Gambling services are for adults who meet the applicable legal age and eligibility requirements. People under the legal gambling age must not create an account, deposit funds or participate in gambling. Parents and carers should use device, network and payment controls to help prevent children from accessing gambling websites. Keep account credentials and payment information private, and log out when you have finished using a shared device.

Supporting someone else

If you are concerned about another person’s gambling, choose a calm time to talk and focus on specific behaviour rather than blame. Explain how the behaviour affects you or the household, encourage the person to use account controls and suggest independent support. Do not lend money to cover gambling losses or agree to keep harmful gambling secret. You can seek advice for yourself even if the person gambling is not ready to ask for help.

Account and payment concerns

Review your account activity and payment records regularly. If you notice activity that you do not recognise, secure your account and contact the website through its official support channels as soon as possible. If your gambling budget is no longer affordable, stop depositing and request an appropriate restriction, break or account closure. Responsible gaming controls are designed to support your decision, but they work best when combined with honest self-assessment and practical financial planning.

For further information about safer gambling, look for an independent Australian gambling support service or speak with a qualified health or financial professional. Allstars Casino encourages players to make informed choices, use available controls and ask for help whenever gambling is no longer safe, enjoyable or within their budget.
