Responsible Gaming

Gamble for entertainment

Before you start, decide how much time and money you are comfortable spending. Treat that amount as an entertainment expense, in the same way you would budget for a meal, film or other leisure activity. Only gamble with money that is available after essential costs such as rent, mortgage payments, bills, food, transport and other commitments have been covered.

There is no guaranteed way to win. Casino games are designed with an inherent house advantage, and outcomes are determined by chance or by the rules of the relevant game. Previous results do not predict future results. A win does not mean that another win is due, and a loss does not make a win more likely. Avoid systems or claims that suggest losses can be recovered through a particular strategy.

Never gamble with borrowed money, money needed for essential expenses or funds belonging to someone else. Do not use gambling as a way to increase your income. Keep your gambling separate from everyday spending and review your activity regularly so you remain aware of the amount of time and money involved.

• Set a spending limit before each session and stop when that limit is reached.
• Set a time limit and take regular breaks away from the website.
• Do not chase losses or increase your stakes to try to recover money.
• Avoid gambling when you are upset, stressed, tired, intoxicated or under the influence of medication that affects your judgement.
• Keep gambling private from people who may be affected by your spending, and consider discussing your limits with someone you trust.
• Do not gamble if you are under the applicable legal age or are not legally permitted to participate.

Tools to help you stay in control

Responsible gambling tools can help you make decisions before play becomes difficult to manage. Depending on the options available on your account, you may be able to set deposit, spending, loss or session limits, take a cooling-off break, or request a longer account restriction. Read the terms of each setting carefully before confirming it, including how long it applies and whether it can be changed immediately.

A limit works best when it is realistic and set in advance. Do not wait until you are losing money or feeling pressure to decide what you can afford. If you reach a limit, stop playing rather than moving money from another budget or opening another account. Limits are a planning tool, not a guarantee that gambling will be risk-free.

Time-out and self-exclusion

If you need a break, use an available cooling-off or time-out option. If you believe you should stop gambling for a longer period, request self-exclusion. Self-exclusion is a serious commitment to avoid gambling and may restrict access to your account and related services for the selected period. During self-exclusion, do not try to create another account or use another person’s account. Tell trusted people about your decision and remove saved payment methods or gambling reminders where practical.

If you want to apply a limit, time-out or self-exclusion, use the responsible gambling or account settings area where available, or contact the operator through the support channel shown on the website. Do not delay asking for assistance. Any request will be handled according to the applicable terms, laws and procedures.

Recognising when gambling may be a problem

Gambling can become harmful gradually. It may be useful to pause and review your behaviour if you are spending more time or money gambling than planned, thinking about gambling throughout the day, or feeling restless when you try to stop. Concern is also warranted if you are hiding gambling, asking others for money, neglecting responsibilities, missing work or study, or experiencing conflict with family and friends.

Other warning signs include chasing losses, increasing stakes to get the same excitement, gambling to escape stress or sadness, selling belongings, using credit for gambling, falling behind on bills, or feeling guilt, anxiety or hopelessness after playing. You do not need to wait until a serious financial or personal crisis before seeking help. If any of these signs apply, stop gambling and speak with a qualified support service or health professional.

1. Stop playing and take a clear break from gambling.
2. Secure your finances by separating essential funds from discretionary spending and removing easy access to gambling money.
3. Tell a trusted family member, friend, counsellor or health professional what is happening.
4. Use self-exclusion or other account restrictions and avoid gambling through alternative accounts or websites.
5. Seek confidential advice from an Australian gambling support service, including services available in your state or territory.

Support is available for people affected by their own gambling and for family members, friends and others who are experiencing harm because of someone else’s gambling. Australian support services can provide confidential information, counselling, financial guidance and referrals. You can find current services through Gambling Help Online, your state or territory gambling support service, a general practitioner or a qualified counsellor.

Our approach to responsible gaming

Scr66 Casino aims to provide clear information that helps players make informed choices. Responsible gaming information, account controls and safer play measures may be available through the website, subject to the applicable rules and service procedures. We may also use account information and gambling activity to identify behaviour that could indicate risk, where permitted or required by law.

We may ask questions or request information to confirm age, identity, affordability or the source of funds. These checks help support legal and responsible operation. A review may result in additional information being requested, limits being applied, a pause in activity or other action under the applicable terms. Providing accurate information helps these processes work effectively.

Players must provide truthful account information, protect their login details and use only payment methods they are authorised to use. Do not allow another person to access your account, and do not let anyone gamble on your behalf. If you are concerned that another person is using your account or that your details have been compromised, stop activity and use the support channel available on the website.

Responsible gaming measures cannot remove every risk associated with gambling. Each player remains responsible for deciding whether gambling is suitable for them and for following the limits and restrictions they choose. By taking breaks, monitoring your activity and seeking support early, you can reduce the likelihood of gambling causing harm.

If gambling is causing immediate danger, severe distress or thoughts of self-harm, seek urgent assistance through local emergency services or a crisis support service in Australia. Do not remain alone with an immediate safety concern. Your wellbeing is more important than any gambling activity or financial loss.
