Responsible Gaming

01Principles of Safer Play

Responsible gambling starts with treating casino play as a form of entertainment rather than as a financial strategy. There is no guaranteed system for producing a profit from casino games, and the outcome of a previous round does not determine the result of the next one.

• Play only with money you can afford to lose.
• Do not use money intended for rent, bills, food, debt payments or other essential expenses.
• Set a budget before you begin and avoid increasing it because a session is not going as expected.
• Do not borrow money for gambling.
• Avoid gambling when you are upset, under pressure or unable to make clear decisions.
• Take regular breaks and keep other activities part of your routine.

02Managing Your Gambling Budget

A gambling budget should be separate from money required for everyday life. Decide in advance what amount you are prepared to spend on entertainment and consider that amount spent once it has been allocated to gambling.

Avoid increasing your budget after a loss in an attempt to recover money. Chasing losses can turn a planned entertainment expense into uncontrolled spending.

03Keep Track of Time

It can be easy to lose track of time during continuous online play. Decide how long you want a session to last before starting and step away when that time has passed.

• Take regular breaks away from the screen.
• Do not allow gambling to replace sleep, work, study or time with family and friends.
• Avoid extending a session only because you are losing.
• Do not continue playing simply because you have already spent significant time or money.

04Warning Signs to Watch For

Gambling may be becoming a problem when it begins to affect finances, relationships, work, study, health or emotional wellbeing. Possible warning signs include:

• Spending more money or time gambling than originally intended.
• Repeatedly trying to recover losses by continuing to play.
• Hiding gambling activity or spending from people close to you.
• Borrowing money or using essential funds to gamble.
• Feeling restless, frustrated or anxious when unable to gamble.
• Ignoring responsibilities because of gambling.
• Thinking about gambling for much of the day.
• Continuing to gamble despite recognising that it is causing harm.

One sign on its own does not necessarily define a gambling problem, but repeated or increasing signs are a reason to reconsider your gambling and seek help.

05A Simple Self-Check

Taking a few minutes to review your habits can help identify whether gambling is still functioning as entertainment.

If several of these questions raise concerns, consider stopping play and speaking with someone you trust or an independent gambling support organisation.

06Account Controls and Personal Boundaries

Responsible gaming controls can help create additional boundaries around gambling. The exact controls available to an account may depend on the current RocketSpin account options and applicable requirements.

If you want to reduce your gambling activity or understand which account controls are currently available, contact RocketSpin Support before continuing to play.

07When Taking a Break Makes Sense

A break from gambling can be useful when play no longer feels recreational, when spending is becoming difficult to control or when gambling is causing stress.

• Stop immediately if you feel you are chasing losses.
• Step away if gambling is affecting your mood or decision-making.
• Consider a longer break if short breaks repeatedly fail to restore control.
• Ask support about available account restrictions if you want an additional barrier to play.

For more serious concerns, consider independent professional or community-based gambling support rather than relying only on personal willpower.

08Remember the Basics

• Gambling outcomes are uncertain.
• There is no guaranteed strategy for recovering losses.
• Only gamble with disposable entertainment money.
• Set limits before you begin rather than after a loss.
• Stop when gambling stops feeling recreational.
• Seek support early if maintaining control becomes difficult.
