Gamble responsibly

Gambling can be enjoyable when it remains within your personal and financial limits. It can also become difficult to control for some people. Before you play at 1BigWin Casino, consider how much time and money you can comfortably spend without affecting your everyday responsibilities, relationships or wellbeing. Only gamble with money that you can afford to lose, and never use money needed for rent, bills, food, education, debt repayments or other essential expenses.

In this article

There is no guaranteed strategy for winning. Games of chance are based on random outcomes, and previous results do not predict future results. A win does not mean that another win is due, while a losing streak does not make a win more likely. Avoid systems or claims that suggest gambling can be controlled through special patterns, betting methods or predictions.

Gambling should not be used to recover losses, manage stress or escape personal difficulties. Chasing losses can lead to larger bets, more frequent play and financial harm. If gambling stops feeling like a choice or begins to cause concern, take a break and seek support as early as possible.

Important principles

Set a budget before you start and keep to it.
Set a time limit and take regular breaks away from the screen.
Do not gamble when you are upset, tired, under the influence of alcohol or other substances, or trying to solve a financial problem.
Never borrow money, sell possessions or use credit to fund gambling.
Keep gambling separate from household and essential spending.
Do not ask someone else to gamble through your account or allow another person to use it.
Remember that gambling outcomes are random and cannot be guaranteed.
Only use the service where online gambling is lawful for you and comply with applicable Australian requirements.

Set limits before you play

Planning before gambling can help you remain in control. Decide in advance how much you are prepared to spend and how long you intend to play. Your limit should be based on your available entertainment budget, not on an amount you hope to win. Once the limit is reached, stop playing. Do not increase it because you are losing, or because you believe a win is likely to happen soon.

Where responsible gaming controls are available, use them before you begin. Depending on the service and the requirements that apply to your account, controls may include deposit limits, spending limits, loss limits, session reminders, time limits, temporary breaks or account closure. Read the information shown when selecting a control so that you understand what it does, when it takes effect and whether it can be changed.

Practical ways to stay in control

Make a personal gambling budget for each period and record your deposits and withdrawals.
Use a timer or reminder to avoid playing for longer than planned.
Take a complete break if you notice that you are increasing your stakes or playing more often.
Keep gambling accounts and payment methods separate from accounts used for regular living expenses.
Review your gambling activity regularly and be honest about the total time and money involved.
Remove saved payment details or reduce access to funds if that helps you follow your plan.
Do not treat promotional material, bonuses or winnings as additional income.
Ask a trusted person to help you stay accountable if maintaining limits is difficult.

Limits are a planning tool, not a guarantee that gambling will remain harmless. If you find that you are repeatedly changing, cancelling or exceeding your limits, consider stopping completely and using an account break or self-exclusion option where available. You can also ask a qualified support service or health professional for help creating a safer plan.

Age and account responsibility

You must meet the legal minimum age that applies in your location before using an online gambling service. Do not allow children or other unauthorised people to access your account. Keep your login details private, use appropriate device security and sign out on shared devices. If you believe another person has accessed your account, stop gambling and follow the account security process provided by the service.

Recognise when gambling may be a problem

Problem gambling can affect anyone, regardless of age, income, experience or background. It may develop gradually, and a person may not recognise the impact until gambling has affected their finances, work, studies, health or relationships. Concern is not limited to the size of the losses. Spending more time than intended, hiding gambling or feeling unable to stop can also be warning signs.

Possible warning signs

Gambling for longer or more often than you planned.
Increasing the amount wagered to achieve the same excitement.
Trying to win back money that has been lost.
Feeling restless, irritable or anxious when not gambling.
Thinking about gambling throughout the day or finding it difficult to concentrate on other activities.
Hiding gambling activity, deposits, losses or account statements from family or friends.
Borrowing money, using credit or missing payments because of gambling.
Selling belongings or taking money from savings to continue playing.
Missing work, study, appointments or social commitments.
Gambling to cope with sadness, stress, loneliness, anger or other difficult feelings.
Continuing to gamble despite arguments, financial pressure or other negative consequences.
Attempting to stop but returning to gambling repeatedly.

One or more of these signs does not provide a diagnosis, but it is a good reason to pause and review your gambling. You do not need to wait for a serious crisis before asking for help. Speaking with someone you trust, a qualified counsellor, a health professional or a recognised gambling support service can make it easier to take the next step.

If you are worried about someone else

If a family member, friend or colleague may be experiencing gambling harm, choose a calm time to raise your concerns. Focus on what you have noticed rather than making accusations. Encourage them to take a break and seek professional support. Protect shared finances where appropriate, but avoid taking on gambling debts or covering up losses, as this may allow the problem to continue. Support is also available for people affected by someone else’s gambling.

Taking a break and finding support

If you want to stop gambling for a period, use any available cooling-off, temporary break or self-exclusion option. Self-exclusion is a formal request to prevent access to a gambling account for a chosen period or until further notice, subject to the process and conditions that apply. It is intended for people who want stronger protection than ordinary time or spending limits.

Before requesting a break or self-exclusion, withdraw any eligible funds in accordance with the applicable account terms and make a note of any information you may need for future support. Do not create another account, use another person’s account or try to bypass an exclusion. If you have accounts with more than one gambling operator, you may need to contact each operator separately because an exclusion from one service may not apply elsewhere.

If you are in Australia, gambling support is available through recognised services in your state or territory, as well as through qualified counsellors, doctors and mental health professionals. These services can help with budgeting, urges to gamble, financial stress, relationships and recovery planning. You can seek confidential assistance whether you are gambling yourself or supporting someone else.

For immediate financial or personal safety concerns, stop gambling and contact an appropriate emergency, health or crisis service in your location. If you feel at risk of harming yourself or another person, seek urgent help without delay. Gambling problems can be treated, and asking for support is a responsible step rather than a sign of failure.

Our approach

1BigWin Casino aims to promote informed and responsible play. Account access, identity checks, payment activity and gambling behaviour may be reviewed where required by applicable law, platform rules or responsible gaming procedures. Appropriate action may include requesting information, applying restrictions, declining transactions, suspending an account or helping a customer access available account protection measures.

Responsible gaming tools and account processes may vary according to your location, account status and the requirements that apply to the service. Nothing on this page changes the applicable terms, privacy information or legal requirements. If you have concerns about your gambling, act early: stop playing, use the strongest available account protection option and seek independent support.
