Responsible Gaming

Gamble for entertainment

Online gambling involves risk, and outcomes are determined by chance. There is no guaranteed strategy, system or pattern that can ensure a win. Previous results do not change the odds of future results, and a losing session does not mean that a win is due. Treat every wager as entertainment spending and only use money that you can comfortably afford to lose.

Before you begin, decide how much time and money you are prepared to use. Consider your usual expenses, financial commitments and other priorities. A gambling budget should be separate from money needed for rent, mortgage or household bills, food, education, transport, savings and debt repayments. Never use borrowed money, credit intended for essential expenses or money set aside for other people to gamble.

Practical ways to stay in control

• Set a spending limit before you play and do not increase it during a session.
• Set a time limit and take regular breaks away from the screen.
• Keep gambling separate from work, study, family time and other responsibilities.
• Avoid gambling when you are upset, tired, stressed, under the influence of alcohol or affected by medication.
• Do not chase losses by increasing your stakes or continuing to play after your planned limit has been reached.
• Keep your account details secure and do not allow another person to use your account.
• Review your gambling activity regularly so you understand how much time and money you are spending.
• Balance gambling with other activities, interests and social connections.

It can help to talk openly with someone you trust about your gambling budget. A friend, partner or family member may notice changes in your behaviour before you do. Keeping a simple record of deposits, wagers, withdrawals and playing time can also make your habits easier to understand. If gambling starts to feel like a source of pressure rather than entertainment, stop and review your choices before continuing.

Tools and account controls

Jackbit Casino may provide account tools designed to help players manage their gambling. Depending on the feature available to you, these tools may allow you to set or request controls for deposits, wagering activity, session time or access to your account. Limits are intended to support your personal plan and should be selected before you start gambling.

Read the information shown when using any responsible gaming tool carefully. A limit may apply to a particular activity or period, and changes may be subject to processing or cooling-off arrangements. Do not assume that a new limit takes effect immediately unless the account interface or applicable terms confirm this. If you are unsure how a control works, stop playing and seek clarification through the available support channel.

Taking a break or closing your account

If gambling is becoming difficult to manage, consider taking a temporary break or requesting that your account be restricted or closed. A break can create space to review your habits, financial position and wellbeing. If you request self-exclusion, follow the instructions provided and avoid opening another account or using another person’s account during the exclusion period.

Account restrictions are not a substitute for support. If you believe you are gambling compulsively, or if gambling has affected your finances, relationships, work or health, seek help as soon as possible. You can also ask a trusted person to support you with access to accounts, budgeting and daily routines while you take a break.

• Use available deposit, spending or session controls before gambling.
• Request a break or self-exclusion when you feel unable to stop.
• Do not try to bypass an account restriction by creating another account.
• Check the account terms for information about restrictions, withdrawals and any remaining account balance.
• Contact the available customer support or responsible gaming team if you need help using a control.

Recognising gambling harm

Gambling harm can develop gradually, and it can affect anyone. You may not need to gamble every day for gambling to become a problem. The important question is whether gambling is having a negative effect on your money, emotions, relationships, responsibilities or health.

Possible warning signs

• Spending more time or money gambling than you intended.
• Trying to win back losses by placing larger or more frequent bets.
• Feeling restless, irritable or anxious when you cannot gamble.
• Hiding gambling activity, losses or account transactions from others.
• Borrowing money, selling belongings or missing payments to continue gambling.
• Using gambling to escape stress, loneliness, sadness or other difficult feelings.
• Neglecting work, study, family, friendships, sleep or personal care.
• Arguing with people close to you about gambling.
• Continuing to gamble despite financial, emotional or relationship problems.
• Feeling guilt, shame or regret after gambling but returning to play.

If any of these signs apply to you, stop and consider taking a break. Do not try to recover losses through further gambling. Write down what has happened, remove access to gambling funds where possible and speak with someone you trust. Early support can make it easier to regain control.

Financial problems can become serious quickly. If you are concerned about bills, debts or money borrowed for gambling, consider speaking with a qualified financial counsellor or an independent money advice service in Australia. Avoid relying on gambling as a source of income, and be cautious of anyone who promises guaranteed wins or a way to recover losses.

Support, age requirements and safer play

If you need support, speak with a qualified gambling counsellor, health professional, financial counsellor or another trusted support service available in Australia. You can also talk to a family member, friend or community organisation. Support may be available for people affected by someone else’s gambling as well as for the person gambling.

If gambling is causing immediate distress or you feel at risk of harming yourself or another person, stop gambling and seek urgent assistance through appropriate emergency or crisis services. Your safety comes first.

Protecting young people and vulnerable people

Gambling is for adults only. Do not allow anyone under the applicable legal age to access or use your account. Keep your login details private, use available device or parental controls and log out when you finish. Do not leave a gambling session open where children or other unauthorised people can access it.

Jackbit Casino may apply age, identity, account and safer gambling checks. You must provide accurate information when requested and comply with applicable laws and account requirements. If information cannot be verified, access to an account or related activity may be restricted in accordance with the relevant terms.

Our approach

Responsible gaming is a shared responsibility. We aim to provide clear information and tools that help players make informed choices. However, no tool can remove the risks of gambling, and limits only work when they are used honestly and respected. Please read the applicable terms and account information carefully, use the controls available to you and ask for help whenever gambling stops being enjoyable or manageable.
