Responsible Gaming

Gambling involves risk, and there is no guaranteed way to win. Every game is based on chance or has an element of chance, so previous results do not predict future results. A win does not mean that another win is due, and a loss does not make a win more likely. Avoid chasing losses or increasing your bets to try to recover money that has already been lost.

Before using Riches88 Casino, decide how much time and money you can comfortably spend. Treat that amount as an entertainment expense, similar to the cost of another leisure activity. Only gamble with money that is available after essential costs such as rent, bills, food, education, transport and other commitments have been covered. Never use borrowed money, credit intended for essentials or funds needed by family members.

A responsible approach also means understanding the rules of a game before placing a wager. Check the relevant game information, betting conditions and account terms. If you are unsure about a feature, transaction or account option, do not proceed until you understand it. You should be able to make decisions freely and without pressure.

Helpful habits

• Set a spending limit before each session and keep to it.
• Set a time limit and take regular breaks away from the screen.
• Keep a record of your deposits and gambling activity so you can review your habits.
• Avoid gambling when you are upset, tired, stressed, bored or under the influence of alcohol or other substances.
• Do not rely on gambling to improve your finances or mood.
• Keep gambling separate from essential household money and savings.
• Do not borrow money or ask others to fund your gambling.
• Remember that entertainment spending can be lost in full.

Account controls can help you manage your gambling before it becomes difficult. Depending on the services available to your account and the applicable requirements, you may be able to request deposit limits, spending limits, session reminders, temporary account restrictions or a longer self-exclusion period. These tools are designed to support your decisions, but they work best when chosen honestly and used consistently.

Set limits before you play

Choose a budget that you can afford to lose and a maximum session length. A limit should be based on your ordinary disposable income, not on an expected win. If an account setting is available, apply it before starting a session. Do not increase a limit simply because you have lost money or want to continue playing. If you need help understanding an available control, contact the site through the support options shown on the platform.

Take a break or self-exclude

A temporary break can create space to review your gambling and focus on other activities. If you believe you should stop gambling, consider requesting self-exclusion for a period that gives you meaningful distance from the service. During self-exclusion, do not try to open another account, use another person’s account or ask someone else to place bets for you. If you have accounts with other gambling services, review their exclusion options separately, as one request may not automatically apply everywhere.

Protect your account

• Use a strong, unique password and keep it private.
• Do not allow another person to use your account or payment method.
• Review account activity and transaction records regularly.
• Keep your personal and payment information secure.
• Tell the site promptly if you notice activity that you do not recognise.
• Use device, browser or banking controls if you need additional support to restrict access.

If a limit or exclusion request is important for your safety, make the request as soon as possible and avoid gambling while it is being processed. Platform controls may not remove access to other gambling providers, advertising, gaming products or offline gambling. Consider broader support if you need help reducing gambling across different services.

If gambling is affecting your money, relationships, work, study or mental health, confidential help is available across Australia. You can speak with a qualified gambling counsellor, a local health service, a financial counsellor or a mental health professional. State and territory gambling support services can provide information, counselling and guidance about practical steps, including financial planning and self-exclusion options.

You do not need to be certain that you have a gambling problem before asking for advice. A support professional can help you understand your behaviour, identify triggers and make a plan that suits your circumstances. You may also choose to tell a trusted family member or friend who can support you with budgeting, account access and time away from gambling.

If you are ready to make a change

1. Stop gambling for the rest of the day and move away from the device or venue.
2. Review your recent gambling, deposits and withdrawals without trying to win back losses.
3. Set a firm budget and consider applying an account limit or self-exclusion request.
4. Tell someone you trust what is happening and ask for practical support.
5. Contact a gambling support service or qualified counsellor in your state or territory.
6. Arrange help with bills, debt or budgeting if gambling has affected your finances.
7. Remove saved payment details and reduce access to gambling-related websites or applications.
8. Make a plan for the times, places and feelings that usually trigger gambling.

If gambling has left you feeling overwhelmed, unsafe or at risk of harming yourself or someone else, seek urgent help through local emergency services or an appropriate crisis support service. Your immediate safety comes first. Riches88 Casino cannot provide medical, legal or financial advice, but the site’s available support channel can assist with general questions about account controls, breaks and self-exclusion.

Responsible gambling is an ongoing choice. Review your limits regularly, be honest about the effect gambling has on your life and act early if your behaviour changes. Winning does not make gambling risk-free, and losing does not require you to continue. The safest decision may be to stop.
