Responsible Gambling

E-Wallet Casino AU is an information and affiliate site. We are committed to promoting responsible gambling. This page provides practical information about responsible gambling tools and where to get support in Australia.

Who This Information Is For

This site is intended for adults of legal gambling age. In Australia, the legal gambling age is 18 years. If you are under 18, please do not use this site or gamble online.

Responsible Gambling Tools Available at Casinos

Licensed and responsible online casinos offer tools to help players manage their gambling. These tools vary by casino, but commonly include:

  • Deposit limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit per day, week, or month. Once set, limits typically cannot be increased immediately — there is usually a cooling-off period.
  • Loss limits: Cap the amount you can lose in a given period.
  • Session time limits: Set a maximum time you can spend playing in a session.
  • Reality checks: Notifications reminding you how long you have been playing and what you have won or lost.
  • Self-exclusion: Request to be excluded from a casino for a set period or permanently. Casinos that take this seriously make it easy to self-exclude and difficult to reverse.
  • Account closure: Close your casino account entirely.

Check the responsible gambling or account settings section of each casino to see which tools are available. Not all offshore casinos implement all tools equally.

Signs of Problem Gambling

Gambling is a problem if it is causing harm to your finances, relationships, health, or work. Warning signs include:

  • Spending more money or time gambling than intended
  • Chasing losses — gambling more to try to recover money lost
  • Hiding gambling activity from family or friends
  • Borrowing money or selling possessions to fund gambling
  • Feeling anxious, irritable, or guilty about gambling
  • Neglecting responsibilities because of gambling

Where to Get Help in Australia

  • Gambling Help Online — Free, confidential support 24/7. Phone: 1800 858 858. Chat and email support also available.
  • Gamblers Anonymous Australia — Peer support group programme.
  • GambleAware — Resources and referrals.
  • Lifeline: 13 11 14 — Crisis support for mental health, including gambling-related distress.

Self-Exclusion from Multiple Venues

Several Australian states offer multi-venue self-exclusion schemes for land-based venues. For online gambling, self-exclusion is typically managed at the individual casino level. Contact each casino's responsible gambling team directly to request exclusion. Third-party self-exclusion tools like GamStop (UK) do not cover Australian-licensed offshore casinos.

Protecting Young People

If children use shared devices, consider parental control software to prevent access to gambling sites. Examples include Gamban and similar tools that block gambling content across devices.
