Responsible Gaming Tools & Player Protection Features
Take control of your online casino experience with these practical responsible gambling tools available at Spinaroo Australia.
Deposit Limits
Set daily, weekly or monthly deposit limits to manage how much you spend on online pokies and casino games. Once a limit is reached, you will not be able to deposit further until the next period begins.
Session Time Reminders & Reality Checks
Enable reality check notifications that appear at set intervals during your gaming session. These pop-up reminders show how long you have been playing, your net position and give you the option to continue or take a break from online gambling.
Self-Exclusion Options
If you feel you need a longer break, our self-exclusion feature allows you to temporarily or permanently close your Spinaroo account. During the exclusion period, you will not be able to log in, deposit or play any online pokies or casino games.
Full Transaction History & Activity Tracking
Access your complete transaction history at any time. Review deposits, withdrawals, bets placed and game sessions to maintain a clear picture of your online casino activity. Transparency helps you make informed decisions about your gambling habits.
Recognising Problem Gambling Warning Signs
Understanding when gambling may be becoming a problem is the first step towards getting help. Here are common warning signs that Australian players and their loved ones should be aware of.
Spending More Time Than Intended
Finding yourself playing online pokies or casino games for longer periods than you originally planned, or struggling to stop once you have started.
Chasing Losses
Returning to gamble to try and win back money you have lost, often leading to larger losses and a growing cycle that becomes difficult to break.
Gambling Affects Your Mood
Feeling stressed, anxious or irritable when not gambling, or using online casino games as a way to escape from personal problems or negative emotions.
Borrowing to Gamble
Taking out loans, using credit cards or borrowing money from friends and family to fund your online gambling activities.
Hiding Your Activity
Concealing your gambling habits from partners, family members or close friends, or becoming defensive when asked about your online casino spending.
Neglecting Responsibilities
Missing work, neglecting family obligations or skipping important commitments because of time spent on online pokies and casino platforms.
If you recognise any of these problem gambling signs in yourself or someone you care about, please know that help is available. Reaching out is a sign of strength, not weakness, and professional gambling support Australia services are ready to assist confidentially.
