Responsible Gaming

Wd-40 Casino supports a balanced approach to gambling. Gambling should be treated as entertainment, not as a way to make money, solve financial problems or recover losses. This page provides practical information to help Australian players make informed choices, set sensible boundaries and recognise when extra support may be needed.

Gambling should remain entertainment

Gambling involves risk, and there is no guaranteed way to win. Each bet or game outcome is independent, and previous results do not make a future result more likely. A winning session does not mean that you will continue to win, and a losing session should not be followed by larger bets in an attempt to recover money. The safest approach is to decide what you can afford to spend before you start and to accept that the money may be lost.

Only people aged 18 or over should gamble. You should also comply with the laws that apply to you and make sure that online gambling is permitted in your location. Do not gamble if you are affected by alcohol, medication or other substances, or if you are feeling distressed, angry or under pressure. These conditions can affect judgement and make it harder to follow the limits you set.

Gambling is not a source of income, an investment or a solution to debt. Never use money needed for rent, bills, food, education, medical care or other essential costs. Avoid using credit, borrowed money or money belonging to another person. A responsible plan includes leaving enough money for everyday needs before considering any entertainment spending.

A simple check before you play

Have I set a clear spending limit for this session and for the wider period?
Can I afford to lose this amount without affecting essential expenses?
Am I calm, alert and making the decision freely?
Am I playing for entertainment rather than trying to win back losses?
Will I be comfortable telling someone I trust how much I am spending?

Practical ways to stay in control

Planning in advance can make it easier to keep gambling within safe boundaries. Set a personal budget that reflects your disposable income, and treat that budget as the maximum amount you are prepared to lose. Separate gambling funds from money needed for daily life. Once the budget has been used, stop rather than adding more funds.

Time limits are also important. Decide how long you will play before starting and use a reminder or alarm if helpful. Take regular breaks, move away from the screen and do something unrelated to gambling. Avoid playing for long periods, especially late at night or when you have other responsibilities. A break can help you assess whether you are still making a considered choice.

Account controls and safer-gambling tools may be available depending on the service, your account and applicable requirements. These can include deposit limits, spending limits, session reminders, activity statements, cooling-off periods or temporary account restrictions. Read the information shown in your account carefully and choose limits that are realistic. A limit should be set before you begin, not changed simply because you want to continue playing.

If you decide that a break is appropriate, ask for a temporary restriction or self-exclusion where that option is available. Self-exclusion is a serious step intended to prevent access for a chosen period or under applicable conditions. Do not open another account or use another person's account to get around a restriction. If you share devices or payment methods, take reasonable steps to protect your decision and ask people close to you for support.

Safer habits to consider

Set a gambling budget separate from household and essential funds.
Set both spending and time boundaries before opening a game.
Keep records of deposits, withdrawals and time spent so your activity is clear.
Do not chase losses, increase stakes impulsively or borrow money to gamble.
Take regular breaks and avoid gambling when tired, upset or under the influence.
Do not allow another person to use your account, and do not use another person's account.
Review your gambling habits regularly and reduce or stop if the activity no longer feels enjoyable.

Recognising when gambling may be causing harm

Problem gambling can develop gradually. It may begin with spending more time or money than planned and become more difficult to control over time. You do not need to wait for serious financial, relationship or emotional harm before taking action. If gambling is causing concern, reducing access and speaking with a qualified support service early can make it easier to regain control.

Possible warning signs

Spending more money or time gambling than you intended.
Repeatedly trying to win back money that has been lost.
Feeling restless, irritable or uncomfortable when trying to cut down.
Thinking about gambling frequently or finding it hard to focus on other activities.
Hiding gambling, deposits, losses or account activity from family, friends or colleagues.
Borrowing money, selling belongings or missing bills because of gambling.
Using gambling to escape stress, loneliness, sadness or other difficult feelings.
Continuing to gamble even when it affects work, study, sleep, health or relationships.
Breaking limits repeatedly or opening new accounts after restricting access.
Feeling regret, shame, anxiety or hopelessness after gambling, then returning to it.

If any of these signs feel familiar, stop and take a break. Consider using an available restriction or self-exclusion option, remove access to gambling funds and tell someone you trust what is happening. A friend or family member may be able to help you review finances, reduce access and stay accountable. You can also speak with a general practitioner, counsellor, financial counsellor or recognised Australian gambling support service. These services can provide confidential information and help you choose practical next steps.

If gambling has contributed to financial difficulty, prioritise essential bills and avoid taking on further debt to continue playing. A qualified financial counsellor can help you understand your options. If you feel unsafe, are experiencing a mental health crisis or are thinking about harming yourself, seek urgent help from emergency services or a health professional immediately. Gambling should never put your safety at risk.

Our approach and your responsibilities

Wd-40 Casino aims to provide clear information so players can make informed decisions. We may apply account, identity, age and activity checks where required by law, our procedures or the circumstances of an account. These checks help protect players, support account security and promote compliance with responsible-gambling requirements. You should provide accurate information and keep your account details secure.

You are responsible for reading the information available before gambling, understanding the risks and using any limits or restrictions that suit your circumstances. You should monitor your own activity rather than relying on gambling outcomes to determine when to stop. If you believe your account is being used by someone else, or if you need help applying a restriction, stop using the account and raise the matter through the available account-support process.

Responsible gambling tools cannot remove all risk and they should not be treated as a guarantee that gambling will remain harmless. Personal circumstances can change, so review your budget and behaviour regularly. If a limit no longer feels suitable, do not simply increase it to continue playing. Consider taking a break and seeking independent support instead.

Protecting young people and other vulnerable people

Keep your account credentials, devices and payment methods secure. Do not share login details, allow children to access gambling services or leave an active account unattended on a shared device. Use appropriate device controls and supervision where needed. If someone in your household may be vulnerable to gambling harm, discuss boundaries openly and consider support from a qualified service.

This information is general guidance and is not a substitute for professional, financial, legal or medical advice. Gambling rules and support options can vary across Australia. If you have concerns about your gambling or another person's gambling, seek help from a recognised Australian support service or an appropriately qualified professional.
