Responsible Gaming

Vave Casino supports a balanced approach to gambling. Casino games should be treated as entertainment, not as a way to make money or solve financial problems. Responsible gaming means understanding the risks, deciding how much time and money you can comfortably spend, and stopping when gambling is no longer enjoyable.

Gamble for entertainment

Gambling involves risk, and there is no guaranteed outcome. Random games are not affected by previous results, personal beliefs or the amount you have already spent. A win does not mean another win is more likely, and a loss does not mean that a win is due. Keeping this in mind can help you make informed decisions while using Vave Casino.

Gamble for entertainment Use account controls and take breaks Recognise the signs of gambling harm Protect yourself and others

Only gamble with money you can afford to lose after essential expenses have been paid. Gambling should not come before rent, mortgage payments, bills, food, education, medical costs or other important commitments. Never use borrowed money, credit intended for essential spending or funds set aside for someone else to gamble.

Before you start

Decide how much money you are prepared to spend and treat that amount as an entertainment cost.
Set a time limit before you begin and take regular breaks during play.
Avoid gambling when you are upset, stressed, tired, intoxicated or trying to recover from a difficult event.
Do not chase losses by increasing bets or continuing for longer than planned.
Keep gambling separate from financial decisions and never rely on winnings to meet regular expenses.
Make sure you understand the game rules, the likely risks and any relevant account conditions before playing.

A practical way to maintain control is to decide your limits while you are calm, rather than during a session. Write down your budget and time limit if that helps. Once your limit is reached, stop playing, even if you feel that a win may be close. Sticking to a plan is more important than trying to change the result of a session.

Use account controls and take breaks

Depending on the features available on your account, you may be able to use tools such as deposit limits, spending controls, session reminders, time limits, temporary breaks or self-exclusion. These tools are designed to help you manage access to gambling and create space away from play. Review the options available through your account and follow the instructions provided.

Limits work best when they are realistic and set before gambling begins. Consider setting a daily, weekly or monthly amount that fits within your personal entertainment budget. You may also choose a maximum session length or use reminders to check how long you have been playing. If a limit is reached, do not try to work around it by opening another account or using another person's account.

Taking a break or excluding yourself

If you feel that a short break would help, consider using any temporary break option available to you. A longer break or self-exclusion may be more appropriate if gambling is becoming difficult to control. Self-exclusion is a serious decision intended to prevent access for a chosen period or until a review process is completed, where that option applies.

During a break or self-exclusion period, do not attempt to gamble through another account, device, website or person. Remove saved payment methods where appropriate, avoid promotional messages if you find them triggering, and tell someone you trust that you are taking time away. Account controls cannot replace personal support, so consider speaking with a qualified adviser as well.

Use the available account tools as soon as you feel your gambling is becoming harder to manage.
Keep your login details private and do not allow another person to use your account.
Do not create additional accounts to avoid a limit, break or exclusion.
Check your transaction history and account activity regularly.
Take a complete break if you are gambling for longer, spending more or thinking about gambling more often than intended.

The availability and operation of account controls may depend on the relevant platform, account status and applicable terms. Read the information shown when selecting a tool so you understand how it works. If you are unsure which option is suitable, pause your gambling and seek independent advice.

Recognise the signs of gambling harm

Gambling harm can affect finances, relationships, work, study, physical health and emotional wellbeing. It does not always appear as a large financial loss. Spending more time thinking about gambling, hiding activity or feeling unable to stop can also be signs that support may be useful.

Possible warning signs

Spending more money or time gambling than you planned.
Trying to win back money after a loss, often called chasing losses.
Borrowing money, selling belongings or missing payments to continue gambling.
Feeling restless, irritable or anxious when you cannot gamble.
Gambling to escape stress, loneliness, sadness or other difficult feelings.
Keeping gambling secret from family, friends or people who manage your finances.
Arguing with others because of gambling or neglecting work, study or relationships.
Losing interest in activities that you previously enjoyed.
Making repeated promises to stop or cut back but finding it difficult to do so.
Feeling guilt, shame, hopelessness or distress after gambling.

One sign may be enough to justify taking a break. You do not need to wait until a serious financial or personal crisis occurs before asking for help. Speaking with someone early can make it easier to understand what is happening and decide on practical next steps.

What you can do now

Stop gambling for the moment and move away from the device or website.
Use an available deposit limit, time-out or self-exclusion option.
Tell a trusted person what you are experiencing and ask them to support your plan.
Review your bank transactions and make a realistic plan for essential expenses.
Contact a qualified gambling counsellor, health professional or recognised support service in Australia.
If gambling is affecting your mental health, seek help from a medical or mental health professional.

If you feel at immediate risk of harming yourself or someone else, stop gambling and seek urgent help from local emergency services or a crisis support provider. Your safety is more important than any account, balance or gambling activity.

Protect yourself and others

Gambling is for adults only. Young people must not create, access or use a gambling account. Keep devices, passwords and payment methods secure, and do not share your account with anyone. Parents and guardians should use appropriate device settings, supervision and payment controls to reduce the risk of young people accessing gambling content.

You are responsible for providing accurate information about your age and identity when requested. Account checks help protect players and support the operation of applicable legal and safety requirements. If you believe another person is using your account or that a young person has gained access, stop using the account and follow the relevant account security or support process.

Supporting someone else

If you are concerned about a family member, friend or colleague, choose a calm and private time to talk. Explain what you have noticed without blaming or threatening them. Encourage them to take a break and seek professional support. You cannot control another person's gambling, but you can set boundaries around money, protect shared finances and seek advice for yourself.

Focus on specific behaviour and its effect rather than making personal accusations.
Do not lend money to cover gambling losses or help someone continue gambling.
Keep joint funds, bills and important documents protected where appropriate.
Agree on practical boundaries and revisit them when everyone is calm.
Encourage contact with an independent gambling support service or qualified counsellor.
Seek support for your own wellbeing if the situation is causing stress or fear.
