Responsible Gambling
Crazy Time AU is committed to promoting responsible gambling. While online gaming can be an entertaining pastime, we recognise that for some individuals it can lead to serious harm. This page provides guidance on how to keep gambling fun, safe, and within your control.
Recognise the Warning Signs
Problem gambling can affect anyone. Common warning signs include:
- Spending more time or money gambling than you can afford
- Chasing losses by continuing to bet after losing
- Feeling anxious, irritable, or depressed when not gambling
- Neglecting work, family, or social obligations because of gambling
- Borrowing money or selling possessions to fund gambling
- Lying to friends or family about your gambling habits
Safe Gambling Tips
- Set a budget: Decide how much you can afford to lose before you start, and stick to it.
- Set a time limit: Decide in advance how long you will play and use alarms or timers.
- Never chase losses: Losing streaks are a normal part of gambling. Do not bet more to try to recover.
- Avoid gambling when emotional: Do not gamble when stressed, depressed, or under the influence of alcohol.
- Balance gambling with other activities: Keep gambling as one part of a varied and enjoyable life.
- Treat it as entertainment, not income: Any winnings are a bonus, not a reliable source of money.
Self-Exclusion & Limit Tools
Most licensed online casinos offer responsible gambling tools including:
- Deposit limits, loss limits, and session time limits
- Reality check reminders
- Cool-off periods (temporary account suspension)
- Self-exclusion (permanent or long-term account closure)
We encourage all players to use these tools proactively. Contact your casino's support team to activate them.
