Unipokies Casino Responsible Gaming
At Unipokies Casino, gambling should always be viewed as entertainment, not as a way to make money or resolve financial difficulties. Games of chance involve risk, and outcomes are determined by chance rather than skill or persistence.
Responsible gambling means making informed choices, setting personal boundaries and recognising when play is no longer enjoyable. This page explains the measures available to support a balanced approach for customers in Australia.
Our Responsible Gambling Commitment
Unipokies Casino is committed to promoting safer gambling and helping customers remain aware of the time and money they spend on our website. We provide information, account controls and practical guidance so that players can make decisions before and during play.
Our games are intended for adults seeking leisure and entertainment. No gambling activity is risk-free, and there is no guaranteed strategy for winning. Customers should only gamble with money they can afford to lose and should never treat gambling as an income source, investment or solution to personal financial problems.
We also encourage customers to take action early if gambling starts to feel stressful, secretive or difficult to manage. Asking for help is a responsible decision and does not require a problem to become severe.
Spotting Gambling Problems
Problem gambling can develop gradually and may affect people in different ways. A person may continue playing despite losses, spend more time or money than planned, or feel unable to stop after deciding to do so.
Possible warning signs include borrowing money to gamble, chasing losses, hiding gambling activity, neglecting work or relationships, feeling anxious when unable to play, or using gambling to escape sadness, stress or other concerns. Repeatedly increasing stakes to achieve the same excitement can also indicate that play is becoming less controlled.
If several of these signs apply to you or someone close to you, consider taking a break and seeking independent support. You do not need to wait until gambling has caused serious financial or personal harm before asking for assistance.
Check in and Set Boundaries
Regular self-assessment can help you understand whether your gambling remains within limits that feel safe and comfortable. Before playing, decide how much time and money you are prepared to spend, and avoid changing those decisions while you are engaged in a game.
- Deposit limits: Set a maximum amount that can be deposited during a selected period and review it carefully before increasing or extending it.
- Loss limits: Decide the maximum amount you can afford to lose and stop playing when that limit is reached. Do not chase losses by adding further funds.
- Reality checks: Use reminders to review how long you have been playing and how much you have spent, then pause to decide whether continuing is appropriate.
- Cooling-off periods: Take a temporary break from gambling when you feel distracted, upset or less able to make calm decisions.
- Self-exclusion: Request a longer-term restriction from gambling if you believe you need a firm barrier from access to your account and the website.
Limits are most effective when they are realistic and treated as firm personal commitments. If you find yourself trying to work around a limit, that may be a useful signal to stop and seek support.
Tools for Safer Play
Unipokies Casino provides responsible gambling features designed to help customers manage their activity. Availability and operation may depend on the account settings and the specific control requested.
- Deposit controls to help you restrict the amount of money added to your account.
- Loss management options to support a predefined spending boundary.
- Reality check reminders that prompt you to review your session duration and activity.
- Cooling-off arrangements that allow you to step away from gambling for a selected period.
- Self-exclusion requests for customers who need a stronger and longer-term restriction.
- Account review and support assistance for customers who want to discuss safer gambling measures.
These tools are intended to support your own decisions and should be used before gambling becomes difficult to control. If a particular feature is unclear or you need help applying a restriction, contact the website support team before continuing to play.
Where to Find Help
If gambling is becoming difficult to control, seek professional help as soon as possible. A qualified support provider can help you understand the reasons behind your gambling, manage financial or emotional effects and develop practical steps for recovery.
For assistance with your Unipokies Casino account or responsible gambling options, contact support@unipokiescasino.com. For independent external support, you can contact Gambling Help Online or review the Australian Government - Gambling Support Services information.
The National Gambling Helpline on 1800 858 858 is a free and confidential support service for people affected by gambling. Gambling Help Online, the Australian Government resources and the National Gambling Helpline are independent external support services. They are not partners of Unipokies Casino and are not operated by Unipokies Casino.
If gambling is affecting a family member, friend or other person close to you, you can also seek guidance for yourself. Support is available for people affected by another person's gambling, not only for the person who is playing.
Keeping Gambling Away From Minors
Only individuals aged 18 or older may use the Unipokies Casino website. We do not permit underage gambling, and adults must not allow minors to access their account, payment methods or gambling devices.
Customers are responsible for keeping account credentials private and for taking reasonable steps to prevent unauthorised access. If you believe a minor may have accessed an account or used the website, stop the activity and contact the website support team promptly.
Parental Safeguards at Home
Parents and guardians should take practical steps to prevent children from viewing or using gambling services. Online access may be available through computers, tablets and mobile devices, so protection should cover every device used in the household.
- Keep account usernames, passwords and payment details private.
- Use device-level parental controls and age restrictions where available.
- Install reputable filtering or monitoring software to limit access to gambling websites.
- Do not leave an active gambling account open on a shared or unattended device.
- Explain in age-appropriate terms that gambling is restricted to adults and involves financial risk.
- Review saved passwords, browser settings and payment authorisations regularly.
No technical measure is guaranteed to prevent every form of access. A combination of supervision, secure account practices and open communication provides stronger protection than relying on a single setting.
Practical Ways to Stay in Control
- Decide your budget and playing time before you begin.
- Use only disposable entertainment funds, never money needed for essentials, bills or debts.
- Take regular breaks and avoid extended sessions.
- Never chase losses or increase stakes to recover money already lost.
- Do not gamble when you are angry, distressed, tired, intoxicated or under significant pressure.
- Keep gambling separate from everyday responsibilities, work and relationships.
- Do not borrow money, sell possessions or use credit to fund gambling.
- Keep a personal record of deposits, withdrawals, wins, losses and time spent playing.
- Avoid believing that a win is due after a series of losses or that past results can predict the next outcome.
- Talk to someone you trust if gambling is occupying your thoughts or causing concern.
- Use a cooling-off period or self-exclusion promptly if ordinary limits no longer feel effective.
These steps cannot remove the inherent risk of gambling, but they can make it easier to recognise changes in behaviour and act before concerns become more serious.
Keeping This Policy Current
Unipokies Casino may update this responsible gambling policy to reflect changes to its services, account features, internal procedures or relevant guidance. Any revised version will be made available on the website and will apply from the date it is published, unless a different effective date is stated.
Customers should review this page periodically to remain familiar with the available tools and support information. If you have questions about a policy update or need help choosing a safer gambling measure, contact the website support team before continuing to play.
