Responsible Gaming

Advantage Casino is committed to promoting a safe, balanced and informed approach to gambling. Gambling should be treated as entertainment, not as a way to make money or solve financial problems. Take time to understand the risks, set personal limits and only gamble with money you can afford to lose.

Advantage Casino operates under a licence issued by the Government of Curacao, with all banking transactions protected by SSL encryption.

Gamble Responsibly

Gambling can be enjoyable when it remains within your personal, financial and time limits. However, it also carries a real risk of financial loss and may become harmful for some people. No gambling outcome is guaranteed, and past results do not predict future results. Games are based on chance or other factors defined by their rules, so you should never assume that a win is due or that losses can be recovered by continuing to play.

Before you begin, decide how much time and money you are comfortable spending. Treat gambling as an entertainment expense, similar to other leisure activities. Once your budget or time limit has been reached, stop playing. Never borrow money, use essential household funds or rely on credit to gamble. Gambling should not affect your ability to pay for housing, food, bills, education or other important expenses.

Only gamble with money you can afford to lose.
Set a spending limit before you play and do not increase it during a session.
Set a time limit and take regular breaks away from the screen.
Keep gambling separate from everyday expenses, savings and credit commitments.
Avoid gambling when you are upset, stressed, tired or affected by alcohol or medication.
Do not chase losses or increase stakes to try to recover money.
Remember that gambling is entertainment, not a source of income.
Do not ask another person to gamble on your behalf or provide access to your account.
Keep your account details secure and do not allow other people to use your account.
Stop playing if gambling no longer feels enjoyable, affordable or controlled.

It may help to keep a personal record of deposits, withdrawals, time spent playing and overall results. Reviewing this information can provide a more accurate view of your gambling than focusing only on individual wins or losses. If you notice that your behaviour is changing, pause and consider speaking with someone you trust or seeking professional support.

Tools to Help You Stay in Control

Responsible gambling tools can help you manage your activity. Depending on the services available through your account, these may include deposit limits, loss limits, wagering limits, session reminders, time-outs or self-exclusion. A limit can help you plan your gambling in advance, while a time-out can provide a short break when you need distance from gambling.

Setting limits

Choose limits that reflect your real budget and remain affordable even if you lose the full amount. Do not set a limit based on the amount you hope to win. Avoid changing a limit during a session because you have lost money or want to continue playing. If maintaining a limit is difficult, treat this as a reason to pause and review your gambling.

Taking a break

A time-out or temporary account restriction can help you step away from gambling. Use a break to review your spending, speak with someone you trust and consider whether gambling remains suitable for you. During a break, do not try to gamble through another account, device or service. Removing gambling reminders and choosing alternative activities may make it easier to maintain the break.

Self-exclusion

Self-exclusion is a stronger option for people who want to stop gambling for a chosen period or longer. It is a formal request to restrict access to gambling services. If you choose self-exclusion, do not attempt to bypass the restriction or open another account. You may also wish to ask a trusted person to support you with budgeting and access to gambling-related services.

If you would like to use a responsible gambling feature, review the options available in your account or use the support channel provided through the website. Requests may be subject to identity checks and the terms of the relevant feature. Account tools are designed to assist with control, but they should not replace professional support where gambling is causing harm.

Recognising Gambling Harm

Gambling harm can affect finances, relationships, work, study, mental health and general wellbeing. It does not always begin with a large loss, and a person may not recognise a problem straight away. Pay attention to patterns rather than waiting for a crisis. Early action can make it easier to regain control.

Spending more time or money gambling than you planned.
Trying to win back money after a loss.
Increasing bets or deposits to achieve the same excitement.
Feeling restless, irritable or anxious when trying to stop.
Hiding or minimising gambling activity from family, friends or colleagues.
Borrowing money, selling belongings or missing bills because of gambling.
Using gambling to escape stress, sadness, loneliness or other difficult feelings.
Neglecting work, study, sleep, health, relationships or other responsibilities.
Attempting to stop but repeatedly returning to gambling.
Feeling shame, guilt, hopelessness or distress connected with gambling.
Arguing with people close to you about gambling or its financial effects.
Believing that a large win is the only way to resolve financial difficulties.

This list is not a diagnosis, and experiencing one sign does not determine what is happening. It is an indication that it may be useful to pause, review your behaviour and talk with someone. Consider telling a trusted friend or family member what you are experiencing. An honest conversation can provide accountability and practical support, particularly with budgeting, daily routines and access to gambling services.

If someone you know may be experiencing gambling harm, approach them calmly and without judgement. Focus on the impact you have noticed rather than criticising their choices. Encourage them to seek professional assistance and respect their privacy. You can also seek advice for yourself, as gambling harm can affect partners, relatives, friends and other people close to the player.

Support in Australia

Free and confidential gambling support is available in Australia. Gambling Help Online and state or territory gambling support services provide information, counselling and practical guidance for people who gamble and for those affected by another person’s gambling. Services may be available online, by telephone or in person, depending on your location. You can find current support options through the Australian Government or your state or territory health service.

A qualified counsellor can help you understand your gambling, prepare a plan to reduce or stop, manage urges, address financial concerns and rebuild communication with people close to you. You do not need to wait until your situation becomes severe before asking for help. Support can also assist with related concerns such as anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties or debt.

If gambling has created financial pressure, consider contacting a free financial counselling service in Australia. A financial counsellor may help you review bills, create a budget, understand your options and plan next steps. Avoid using high-cost credit or taking out new loans to cover gambling losses. Be cautious of anyone promising to recover gambling losses or guarantee future wins.

Our approach

Advantage Casino supports informed decision-making and encourages players to use available controls before gambling becomes difficult to manage. We may apply account checks, restrictions or other measures where required by applicable rules and responsible gambling processes. Players are responsible for providing accurate information, protecting their account details and using available tools honestly.

If you feel at immediate risk of harming yourself or someone else, or you are in danger, contact emergency services in Australia without delay. Gambling support services can provide guidance, but urgent safety concerns require immediate assistance. If you are supporting another person, prioritise your own safety and seek help from appropriate emergency or health services.

If you are unsure whether gambling is right for you, the safest choice is to pause. Review your limits, speak with someone you trust and obtain independent support. Gambling should always remain optional, affordable and within your control.
