Responsible Gambling
At PlinkoOnline AU, we believe gambling should always be fun, safe, and within your means. We are committed to promoting responsible gambling and providing access to support resources for anyone who needs them.
Gambling Principles
- Gambling is entertainment — it is not a way to make money or solve financial problems.
- Set a budget — only gamble with money you can afford to lose.
- Set a time limit — decide how long you will play before you start.
- Never chase losses — if you've hit your budget limit, stop.
- Take breaks — regular breaks help maintain perspective.
- Balance gambling with other activities — don't let it be your only hobby.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
You may have a problem with gambling if you:
- Spend more money or time gambling than you can afford
- Chase losses with bigger bets
- Borrow money or sell possessions to gamble
- Feel irritable or anxious when not gambling
- Lie to family or friends about how much you gamble
- Neglect work, study, or relationships due to gambling
- Use gambling to escape stress, anxiety, or depression
If any of these sound familiar, please reach out for help — there is no shame in doing so.
Self-Exclusion & Deposit Limits
All reputable Australian-facing casinos offer responsible gambling tools:
- Deposit limits — set daily, weekly, or monthly limits
- Session time limits — automatically log out after a set period
- Reality checks — regular pop-up reminders of time spent
- Self-exclusion — block yourself from a specific casino or multiple sites
- Cooling-off periods — temporary breaks from gambling
Australia's national self-exclusion register, BetStop, allows you to self-exclude from all licensed Australian online gambling operators at once. Visit betstop.gov.au.
