Responsible Gaming and Safe Play (AU)
Our Commitment to Responsible Gambling
This Responsible Gaming page sets out how this gambling website promotes safe, controlled play for all Australian players. Whether you access Casino games online through the Fair Go Casino app, a browser on mobile, or desktop, gambling should always remain an enjoyable form of entertainment, never a source of financial pressure. By using the Fair Go Casino app login or the Fair Go online Casino login, you accept our responsibility principles and agree to play within your personal limits. This information applies to real‑money play on pokies, roulette, and other Casino games, as well as any available demo modes. We follow recognised responsible gambling standards to protect players, with a particular focus on preventing underage gambling, supporting vulnerable individuals, and offering clear tools to manage spending and time. All policies described below apply to Fair Go online access as a whole, whether you choose to download Fair Go Casino app software or play via browser. We encourage every player to read this page carefully before placing any wager.
Gambling as Entertainment: Principles of Safe Play
Gambling on an online Casino should be treated strictly as entertainment, not as a way to earn income or resolve financial difficulties. The outcome of every spin of the pokies, every hand of cards, and each round of roulette is determined by random number generation, meaning no strategy can guarantee consistent winnings. When engaging with Casino games online through the Fair Go Casino app, you should only stake money you can comfortably afford to lose. Responsible gambling includes setting realistic expectations, accepting that losses are part of the experience, and never chasing losses by increasing bet sizes impulsively. We strongly advise players to set a clear budget before each session and to separate gambling funds from essential living expenses such as rent, bills, loans, or savings. If you find that winning becomes more important than enjoyment, or that you feel stress or anger after losses, we recommend you stop playing, review the guidance on this page, and consider using our protection tools or seeking support.
Age Restrictions and Prevention of Underage Gambling
This gambling website is strictly for adults aged 18 years and over. Minors are prohibited from creating an account, completing the Fair Go Casino app login, or participating in any Casino games offered on this gambling website. To enforce this policy, we carry out age verification and identity checks, which may include requesting official documents such as a passport, driver licence, or other government‑issued photo identification. If we are unable to verify that a player is at least 18, the account will be restricted and any activity suspended until verification is complete. Parents and guardians are encouraged to monitor all devices where the Fair Go Casino app or any Casino online services might be accessible. We recommend the use of parental control tools, content filters, and secure passwords to prevent minors from accessing gambling services. If you suspect that a minor has gained access to an account or has been able to complete a Fair Go online Casino login, you must notify our support team immediately so that we can block access and take appropriate action.
Player Protection Tools and Account‑Level Controls
We provide a range of responsible gambling tools to help players maintain control over their activity when using the Fair Go Casino app or browser‑based Casino online services. After completing the Fair Go Casino app login, you may access responsible gambling settings in your account section or by contacting our support team. Deposit limits allow you to set a maximum amount you can deposit over a chosen period (for example, daily, weekly, or monthly). Loss limits help control the maximum net loss you are willing to accept over a specific timeframe. Wagering limits cap the total amount you can stake on pokies, roulette, and other Casino games during a session or period. Session limits can automatically log you out after a preset time. These tools cannot be bypassed once set, and requests to decrease limits are applied as soon as reasonably practicable, while requests to increase or remove limits may be subject to a cooling‑off period to prevent impulsive decisions. We encourage all players to configure appropriate limits before commencing regular play.
Reality Checks, Session Information and Account History
To support transparent and informed play, we offer reality checks and detailed account information. Reality checks are optional or default on‑screen reminders that appear at defined intervals while you are playing Casino games online, including pokies and table games available through the Fair Go Casino app. These reminders typically display the time spent in the current session, your net result, and a prompt to consider taking a break. You may adjust the frequency of reality checks where permitted by our rules. In addition, your account provides access to a comprehensive history of deposits, withdrawals, bets, wins, and losses. By reviewing this information regularly, you can monitor whether your gambling behaviour remains consistent with your intentions and budget. We encourage players to download or record transaction details and game activity to support personal budgeting and self‑assessment. If you believe your records contain errors, or if you wish to discuss your activity from a responsible gambling perspective, you may contact our support team for clarification.
Cooling‑Off Periods and Temporary Breaks
If you feel that gambling is taking up more time or attention than you are comfortable with, a temporary break can be a practical first step. Cooling‑off periods allow you to suspend access to your account and disable the Fair Go Casino app login for a defined period, such as 24 hours, 7 days, or 30 days. During an active cooling‑off period, you will not be able to place bets, make deposits, or access real‑money games on this gambling website. Where legally permissible, you may still access account information and pending withdrawals, but no new gambling activity will be allowed. Requests for a temporary break can be submitted through your account settings or by contacting our support team through live chat or email. Once activated, a cooling‑off period cannot be shortened or cancelled, and we strongly advise players not to attempt to open additional accounts during this time. At the end of the break, access will be restored automatically, though we recommend reviewing your limits before resuming play.
Self‑Exclusion and Long‑Term Restrictions
For players who believe their gambling has become harmful or who have a history of problem gambling, self‑exclusion is a stronger protective measure. Self‑exclusion involves voluntarily requesting a long‑term or permanent block on your account and your ability to use the Fair Go Casino app or any related services. Self‑exclusion periods may range from six months to several years, and in some cases may be permanent. During self‑exclusion, you will be unable to log in, deposit, or participate in any Casino games online through this gambling website. We will take reasonable steps to prevent marketing materials from being sent to self‑excluded players, where legally and technically feasible. To request self‑exclusion, contact our support team and clearly state that you wish to self‑exclude for responsible gambling reasons. We may ask additional questions to ensure the request is correctly processed and may guide you to external counselling services. Once a self‑exclusion period is in place, early reactivation is not permitted, and any future access may require a formal review.
Recognising Signs of Problem Gambling
Being able to recognise early warning signs of problematic play is essential to maintaining control. Warning indicators may include spending more time or money on pokies, roulette, or other Casino games than you originally planned; feeling irritated or anxious when not gambling; chasing losses by increasing bets after a losing session; borrowing money, selling belongings, or using funds intended for everyday expenses to gamble; hiding the extent of your gambling from family or friends; allowing gambling to interfere with work, study, or important relationships; or feeling guilty, depressed, or hopeless after gambling. If one or more of these signs applies to you when using the Fair Go Casino app or completing a Fair Go online Casino login, we strongly recommend pausing your gambling activity immediately. Consider setting lower limits, activating a cooling‑off period, or requesting self‑exclusion. You may also wish to complete a self‑assessment questionnaire from an independent responsible gambling organisation to better understand your situation.
Tips for Staying in Control
Maintaining control over your gambling behaviour requires clear rules and consistent habits. Before logging in to the Fair Go Casino app, set a fixed monetary budget and a time limit for your session, and commit to stopping when either limit is reached. Avoid gambling when you are tired, upset, under the influence of alcohol or drugs, or experiencing financial stress, as these states can impair judgment. Treat any money spent on an online Casino as the cost of entertainment, similar to cinema or sporting events, rather than an investment. Do not attempt to recover losses by increasing bet sizes or extending your session. Schedule regular breaks away from the screen, even during winning streaks, and balance gambling with other leisure activities that do not involve wagering. Never allow gambling on Casino games online to replace social interaction or personal responsibilities. If you track wins and losses, ensure you review them objectively and be prepared to reduce or cease play if you notice an upward trend in losses or time spent.
Support and Assistance for Australian Players
If you are concerned about your own gambling or the gambling of someone close to you, support is available. Our customer support team is trained to handle responsible gambling queries in a confidential and respectful manner. You can contact us via the communication channels listed on this gambling website to request information on limits, cooling‑off periods, or self‑exclusion, or to raise any responsible gambling complaint. In addition to internal assistance, we encourage Australian players to reach out to independent counselling and support services, such as national gambling help lines, state‑based support services, and online counselling programmes dedicated to problem gambling. These organisations typically offer free, confidential advice, self‑help resources, and, where appropriate, referrals to financial or psychological counselling. If you feel at risk of harm or experiencing severe distress, you should seek emergency assistance from local health services. Remember that asking for help is a sign of strength, and early intervention can significantly reduce the impact of gambling‑related harm.
Protection of Vulnerable Players and Related Policies
We recognise that some individuals are more vulnerable to gambling‑related harm, including those with a personal or family history of problem gambling, mental health conditions, or financial difficulties. When such concerns are identified, whether by the player or through interaction with our support team, we may recommend tighter limits, temporary breaks, or self‑exclusion. In serious cases, we may impose restrictions independently if we have reasonable grounds to believe that continued access could cause harm, subject to applicable law. All personal information collected during responsible gambling interactions is handled in accordance with our Privacy Policy, while the rules governing play, including any responsible gambling obligations, are set out in our Terms and Conditions. Our Cookie Policy describes how data relating to your visits may be used to support secure logins and account protection. We encourage players to review these related policies carefully, together with this Responsible Gaming page, before using the Fair Go Casino app, completing any Fair Go Casino app login, or engaging in any gambling activity on this gambling website.
