Gamble for entertainment
Responsible gambling means making conscious choices about when, how often and how much you play. Before starting, decide what you can comfortably spend and how much time you are prepared to use. Treat that amount as an entertainment expense, similar to the cost of another leisure activity. Once your planned budget or time has been used, stop playing.
Gambling outcomes are determined by chance or by the rules of the relevant game. 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 streak does not make a win more likely. Avoid chasing losses by increasing your stakes or continuing to play for longer than planned.
Only gamble with money that you can afford to lose after your ordinary living costs, financial commitments and other priorities have been met. Never use money set aside for rent, bills, food, education or essential needs. Do not borrow money, sell possessions or use credit to fund gambling. If gambling is affecting your ability to meet responsibilities, take a break and seek support.
Practical habits for safer play
- Set a spending budget before you begin and do not exceed it.
- Set a time limit and take regular breaks away from the screen.
- Keep gambling separate from essential household money.
- Do not gamble when you are upset, tired, under the influence of alcohol or drugs, or trying to recover losses.
- Keep a record of your deposits, withdrawals, wins and losses so you can see your overall activity clearly.
- Avoid gambling in secret or hiding your activity from people you trust.
- Remember that gambling is not a reliable source of income or a solution to financial difficulty.
Tools to help you stay in control
Account and play-management tools can help you maintain the limits you choose. Depending on the features available to your account and the applicable requirements, these tools may allow you to set deposit limits, loss limits, wagering limits, session reminders, time limits or periods away from gambling. Review the available options before you play and choose settings that reflect your personal budget.
A limit is most useful when it is set before gambling begins. Do not set a limit based on the amount you hope to win, and do not increase a limit because you are trying to recover a loss. If you are uncertain about an appropriate amount, choose a lower limit or take a break instead. Limits should support your decisions, not encourage you to play more.
Taking a break
If you feel that gambling is becoming difficult to manage, consider using an account break or self-exclusion option where available. A break can provide time to review your behaviour and decide what support you may need. Self-exclusion is a stronger step that restricts access to gambling for a chosen period or in accordance with the relevant process. Read the conditions carefully before confirming a request, as restrictions may apply during the selected period.
If you ask for a gambling break or self-exclusion, do not attempt to open another account or use another person’s account to continue playing. Keep your login details private and do not allow anyone else to gamble through your account. Account controls are intended to help you pause or stop, and they work best when combined with practical steps such as removing gambling applications, blocking promotional messages and telling someone you trust.
Account security and access
You are responsible for keeping your account credentials confidential and for monitoring activity on your account. Use a strong, unique password and contact the available customer support channel promptly if you believe another person has accessed your account. Do not share your password, payment details or verification information with other people. Protecting your account can also help prevent gambling by someone who is not authorised to use it.
Recognising when gambling may be harmful
Harmful gambling can affect people in different ways. Some people may experience financial problems, while others may notice changes in their mood, relationships, work or daily routines. You do not need to wait until a serious problem develops before taking action. If gambling no longer feels enjoyable or is causing concern, stopping early and seeking help is a responsible decision.
Possible warning signs
- Spending more time or money gambling than you intended.
- Increasing your stakes because you want bigger or quicker results.
- Trying to win back money after a loss.
- Feeling restless, irritable or anxious when you cannot gamble.
- Thinking about gambling throughout the day or finding it difficult to focus on other things.
- Borrowing money, using credit or selling belongings to continue gambling.
- Missing work, study, family commitments or social activities because of gambling.
- Hiding gambling activity, losses or account transactions from other people.
- Arguing with family members, friends or colleagues about gambling.
- Feeling guilt, shame, stress or low mood after gambling.
- Gambling to escape personal problems or to change how you feel.
- Returning to gambling after deciding to stop.
One warning sign may be enough to justify a pause. Several signs can indicate that gambling is becoming harmful and that additional support would be useful. Speak honestly with a trusted person and consider contacting a professional gambling support service in your area. If gambling has contributed to financial stress, an independent financial counsellor may also be able to help you review your options.
If you feel overwhelmed, unsafe or at risk of harming yourself, seek urgent assistance from emergency services or a qualified health professional. Gambling-related stress can affect mental health, and you should not manage a serious crisis alone.
Our commitment and your responsibilities
Lion88 Casino aims to provide clear information and promote informed choices. Responsible gaming measures may include access to account controls, information about safer play, identity and age checks, monitoring for unusual activity, and processes for breaks or self-exclusion where applicable. The features and processes available to you may depend on the service, your account status and the requirements that apply to online gambling in Australia.
Responsible gaming tools cannot remove the risks associated with gambling and should not be treated as a guarantee that gambling will remain harmless. You remain responsible for making careful decisions, using the available controls and stopping when gambling is no longer comfortable or affordable. We may also take steps to protect customers where activity raises responsible gaming concerns, subject to applicable requirements and our relevant policies.
Age and account use
Gambling is for adults only. You must be at least 18 years old and meet all applicable eligibility requirements before using gambling services. Parents and guardians should take reasonable steps to prevent children from accessing gambling accounts, devices and payment methods. Use device security, account passwords and parental controls where appropriate, and never allow a person under the required age to gamble through your account.
You must use your own account and provide accurate information when requested. Do not create accounts for another person, allow another person to use your account or attempt to avoid an account restriction. If your circumstances change or you are concerned about your gambling, contact the available support channel and ask about the options that may be available to you.
Getting help
Support is available if you are worried about your gambling or someone else’s gambling. You can begin by using the responsible gaming or customer support options available through the website and asking about limits, breaks, self-exclusion and account restrictions. You can also contact an independent gambling counselling service, a health professional, a financial counsellor or a trusted person in your life.
When seeking help, be open about how often you gamble, how much you spend, whether you chase losses and how gambling affects your relationships or responsibilities. This information can help a support professional understand your situation and suggest practical next steps. Asking for help early is a sign of strength, and you can seek support even if you are not sure whether your gambling is a problem.
For more information about responsible gaming tools or to request assistance with your account, use the support options provided on this website. Please do not send sensitive account or payment information through an unsecured channel. Review the applicable terms, privacy information and responsible gaming instructions before submitting a request.
