Responsible Gaming
Wonaco Casino is committed to promoting gambling as an enjoyable leisure activity. Gambling should be approached as entertainment, not as a way to make money or solve financial problems. Responsible gaming means understanding the risks, setting sensible limits and making informed choices about when, where and how you play.
Gamble for entertainment
Casino games are based on chance. Results are unpredictable, and no strategy can guarantee a win. Every wager carries a risk of loss, and previous results do not change the outcome of future games. A win should not be treated as proof that a game can be controlled, while a loss should not be viewed as something that must be recovered through further gambling.
Before you play, decide how gambling fits within your recreational budget. Only use money that you can afford to lose after essential expenses, commitments and savings have been considered. Never use money set aside for rent, mortgage payments, bills, food, education or other important needs. Do not borrow money, use credit irresponsibly or sell possessions to fund gambling.
Practical ways to stay in control
- Set a spending limit before you begin and stop when that limit is reached.
- Set a time limit and take regular breaks away from the screen.
- Keep gambling separate from everyday spending and household finances.
- Avoid gambling when you are upset, stressed, tired, angry or affected by alcohol or other substances.
- Treat wins as part of the entertainment experience rather than as income.
- Do not chase losses by increasing stakes or playing for longer than planned.
- Keep records of your deposits, wagers and withdrawals so you understand your activity.
- Discuss your limits with someone you trust if you find it difficult to maintain them.
It can also help to decide in advance what you will do when your session ends. Log out, close the website and move to another activity. Planning an alternative, such as exercise, spending time with friends or enjoying a hobby, can make it easier to finish a session at the time you intended.
Safer play tools and account choices
Depending on your account and the services available to you, safer play options may help you manage gambling. These can include deposit limits, wagering or loss limits, session reminders, activity statements, cooling-off periods and account or self-exclusion requests. The availability, operation and minimum duration of a particular option may vary. Please review the information shown in your account and contact support through the available website channels if you need assistance.
Using limits effectively
A limit works best when it is realistic, set before gambling and not changed during a session. Consider setting a daily, weekly or monthly amount that reflects your entertainment budget. A time reminder can help you notice how long you have been playing, especially when games are fast-paced or available at any time. Checking your activity regularly may also help you identify changes in how often or how much you play.
If you request a cooling-off period or self-exclusion, do not attempt to bypass it by creating another account or asking another person to gamble on your behalf. Take the restriction seriously and use the time away from gambling to consider your habits and wellbeing. Wonaco Casino may apply account controls in line with its policies and applicable requirements.
Account security and personal responsibility
Keep your login details private and do not allow another person to use your account. If you think someone else has accessed your account, stop using it and contact support through the available contact method. Account sharing can make it harder to monitor activity and may create additional risks. Adults should also take reasonable steps to prevent children and other unauthorised people from accessing gambling services or payment methods.
Gambling should never interfere with work, study, relationships, health or other responsibilities. If you are regularly hiding your gambling, missing commitments, thinking about gambling throughout the day or feeling unable to stop, consider taking a break and seeking independent support.
Recognising signs of gambling harm
Gambling harm can affect a person’s finances, mental health, physical health and relationships. It can develop gradually, and a person may not notice the change until gambling has begun to affect everyday life. Recognising warning signs early can make it easier to take action.
- Spending more time or money gambling than you planned.
- Trying to win back losses by placing larger or more frequent wagers.
- Feeling restless, irritable or anxious when you try to reduce or stop gambling.
- Borrowing money, using credit or selling belongings to continue gambling.
- Hiding gambling activity, losses or account transactions from family or friends.
- Neglecting work, study, household duties, relationships or personal wellbeing.
- Gambling to escape sadness, stress, loneliness or other difficult feelings.
- Thinking about gambling frequently or finding it difficult to concentrate on other activities.
- Feeling shame, guilt, hopelessness or distress because of gambling.
- Returning to gambling after deciding to stop.
One or more of these signs may indicate that gambling is no longer recreational. You do not need to wait for a crisis before asking for help. Speaking openly with a trusted person, taking a break, applying account restrictions and seeking professional advice are constructive steps.
If gambling is affecting someone close to you, approach the conversation calmly and without judgement. Explain what you have noticed, listen to their concerns and encourage them to access independent support. Avoid lending money to cover gambling losses or taking responsibility for managing their gambling alone. Professional services can provide guidance for both people who gamble and those affected by another person’s gambling.
Getting help and staying informed
If you are concerned about your gambling, consider speaking with a qualified gambling counsellor or another trusted health professional. Independent support services in Australia can provide confidential information, counselling and practical assistance. You can also speak with your doctor or a mental health professional about the effect gambling may be having on your wellbeing.
If you feel overwhelmed, unsafe or at risk of harming yourself, seek urgent help from emergency services or a crisis support service in your area. Gambling concerns can be accompanied by serious emotional distress, and immediate support is available. You should not face that situation alone.
