Responsible Gaming at Casinoly
Gambling should stay a form of entertainment you control, never a source of stress or debt. On this page we explain every tool available in your Casinoly account, how to switch it on in minutes, and where Australians can find free, confidential support at any hour.
Our Promise at Casinoly
Nothing on this page is a formality. Behind the scenes our team reviews play patterns for early indicators of harm, such as sharp increases in deposit frequency, repeated failed withdrawals after losses, or late-night sessions that stretch well past normal hours. When we see these signals, we reach out privately and offer limits before problems grow.
Reality checks sit at the centre of our approach. Your account can send a time reminder every 30 or 60 minutes of continuous play, showing your session length, net result and the deposit total for the day. Knowledge beats guesswork, and these reminders put hard numbers in front of you while decisions still matter.
Every member of our support team completes responsible-service training before taking a single chat, and our agents can apply cooling-off periods or refer you to specialist counsellors on the spot, 24 hours a day.
Know the Warning Signs
Problem gambling rarely announces itself. It builds gradually, and the person affected is often the last to notice. This honest checklist reflects what our specialists look for, and reviewing it takes two minutes.
If several points below sound familiar, the strongest move you can make is to pause play and call Gambling Help Online on 1800 858 858. That call is free, confidential and judgment-free.
- You chase losses, depositing again straight after a losing session to win money back.
- You hide the amount of time or money you spend on gambling from family or friends.
- You borrow money, sell belongings or use credit to fund play.
- Your mood swings sharply with results, and gambling dominates your thoughts outside sessions.
- You play longer than planned and skip work, study or sleep to continue.
- You chase the feeling of a big win rather than the entertainment itself, and stakes keep rising.
- Bills go unpaid while gambling continues, or you have tried to cut back and could not.
- Relationships feel strained because of arguments over money or time lost to gambling.
Set Your Own Limits
Every tool in one place
Open your profile, select Responsible Gaming, and each control below is ready within a few clicks. Changes to limits take effect immediately; only increases require a 24-hour cooling period so impulsive decisions cannot pass unchecked.
- Deposit limits: cap the amount you can add daily, weekly or monthly, from as little as 20 AUD.
- Loss limits: set a maximum net loss over a chosen period, and play locks automatically once reached.
- Wagering limits: restrict total bets per day, week or month regardless of deposits or results.
- Session timeouts: lock your account for 24 hours, 7 days or 30 days when you need breathing room.
- Reality checks: on-screen reminders every 30 or 60 minutes showing session time and net position.
- Cooling-off periods: a temporary closure of one to six months that reverses only when you request it in writing.
- Self-exclusion: a firm, hard lock with a minimum duration of six months, available also on request through live chat.
Take a Break When Needed
How self-exclusion works
Choose the duration that fits your situation: 24 hours, 7 days, 30 days, 6 months or permanent closure. Once confirmed, your account closes immediately, marketing emails stop, and we cancel any active bonuses in line with our terms.
Funds left in your balance remain yours. We return the full withdrawable amount through your verified withdrawal method, which for e-wallets and crypto completes within 24 hours and for cards or bank transfer takes 1 to 3 business days. Bets already placed before exclusion settle under normal rules, and winnings from settled bets are added to that payout.
Reactivation is deliberately slow. Short timeouts lift automatically at expiry, but a 6-month or permanent exclusion cannot be reversed early, and after any fixed term ends you must contact [email protected] in writing to ask for a review. A permanent closure is final and cannot be undone, so treat it as exactly that.
Self-exclusion applies to your whole player identity, not one product. Sportsbook, live casino and slots all lock at once, and we block new account attempts with your details during the exclusion period.
| Duration | How it ends | Early reopening |
|---|---|---|
| 24 hours | Automatic | Not possible |
| 7 days | Automatic | Not possible |
| 30 days | Automatic | Not possible |
| 6 months | Automatic, or permanent if you request it | Not possible |
| Permanent | Never | Never possible |
We Keep Play Adults Only
Casinoly Casino is strictly for players aged 18 or over, and we verify this before your first withdrawal at the latest. KYC checks require a government ID, proof of address and verification of your payment method, and accounts without passing age verification cannot withdraw a single dollar.
Because children can reach gambling sites through shared devices, we ask every parent and guardian to act at home as well. Keep login details private, never save passwords on family computers, and install parental control software such as Qustodio, Net Nanny or Cyber Patrol to block gambling content entirely.
If a person under 18 has used our platform, contact [email protected] immediately. We freeze the account, void any play and refund deposits as required by law and our licence conditions.

For anything requiring written confirmation, such as self-exclusion or a permanent closure, email [email protected] and we respond with a clear summary of what has been applied.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I set a deposit limit on my account?
Open your profile, select Responsible Gaming and choose a daily, weekly or monthly deposit cap from 20 AUD upwards. Limits take effect instantly, and raising one triggers a 24-hour waiting period.
Will I lose the money in my balance if I self-exclude?
No. Your withdrawable balance is returned through your verified withdrawal method, within 24 hours for e-wallets and crypto, or 1 to 3 business days for cards and bank transfer. Bets placed before the exclusion settle under normal rules.
Can I cancel a self-exclusion early?
No. Durations of 24 hours, 7 days, 30 days and 6 months run to their end date, and a permanent closure is final. After a 6-month term expires you can request a review by emailing [email protected].
Is there a free Australian helpline I can call tonight?
Yes. Gambling Help Online operates 24/7 on 1800 858 858 with free, confidential counselling, and Lifeline offers crisis support on 13 11 14 at any hour.
What happens if someone under 18 uses my account?
Contact [email protected] immediately. We freeze the account, void all play and refund deposits in line with our licence conditions, which is why keeping your login details private matters so much.
