Responsible Gambling

Gambling should always be an enjoyable entertainment activity — never a financial strategy or a way to recover losses. This page provides information and resources to help Australian players gamble responsibly.

Know the Signs of Problem Gambling

Problem gambling can affect anyone regardless of age, income, or background. Common warning signs include:

  • Spending more time or money on gambling than intended
  • Chasing losses by placing larger or more frequent bets
  • Neglecting work, family, or social obligations due to gambling
  • Borrowing money to fund gambling
  • Feeling anxious, irritable, or restless when not gambling
  • Concealing gambling activity from friends or family

If any of these resonate with you, please seek help. Support is available and effective.

Practical Tools

Most licensed online casinos including Richard Casino offer responsible gambling tools directly in your account:

  • Deposit limits: Set daily, weekly, or monthly deposit caps
  • Session time limits: Restrict how long you can play in a single session
  • Reality checks: Pop-up reminders of time and money spent
  • Self-exclusion: Block access to your account for a defined period or permanently
  • Cool-off periods: Temporary breaks from gambling

To access these tools at Richard Casino, navigate to your account settings or contact their 24/7 support team. Self-exclusion requests should be honoured immediately.

Self-Exclusion Schemes

Australia operates state-based self-exclusion schemes for land-based venues. For online casinos, self-exclusion must typically be requested directly with each operator. We recommend using BetStop — Australia's National Self-Exclusion Register — to block yourself from multiple online wagering services simultaneously.
