Every game at Riverspin is a form of entertainment, and every game keeps a built-in edge for the house over time. Think of it as a paid pastime, much like a night out, and never as a fix for money worries. Decide in advance what you can afford to lose, count that as the cost of the evening and keep rent, bills and savings out of it.
Gambling is for adults. The legal age in Australia is 18, and the casino does not accept anyone below it.
Every control sits in the profile and takes a few taps to change.
A lower limit applies immediately, so use it as soon as play starts to feel faster or costlier than planned.
There is often no single moment when gambling turns harmful. Pause and speak to someone you trust if any of these sound familiar:
Recognise a sign or two? Lower a limit or start a cooling-off break today, and think about self-exclusion for longer if nothing changes.
Settle on a budget before logging in and call it a night when it runs out. Keep sessions short, take breaks and skip play when tired, upset or after drinking. See bonuses as extras and read the turnover terms before accepting one, as a bonus can keep you at the screen longer than planned. Skim your History once a week, and keep a separate account for gambling so it never mixes with everyday spending.
Do not leave a signed-in phone or computer where a child can reach it, and keep your password private. Filtering and parental control software can block gambling sites on shared devices. Date of birth and ID checks exist so that accounts opened by minors can be traced and shut.
Help is free, confidential and available around the clock. Gambling Help Online runs on 1800 858 858 and at gamblinghelponline.org.au, with counsellors for players, families and friends. Lifeline answers on 13 11 14 when things feel overwhelming, and in an emergency call 000. BetStop, the National Self-Exclusion Register at betstop.gov.au, can be reached on 1800 238 786 and covers licensed Australian wagering providers. It does not replace the self-exclusion in your Riverspin profile, which you set up separately. To talk to the casino itself, use the live chat or write to [email protected].
