Responsible Gambling at Spinfred Gaming
Your wellbeing comes first. Gambling should always feel safe, balanced and enjoyable — never stressful, rushed or overwhelming.
At Spinfred Gaming, we believe responsible gambling is not just a policy; it's an essential part of creating a healthy, long-term relationship with our players. This page explains the tools, guidance and support available to help you stay in control every time you log in.
Our Approach to Responsible Gambling
Spinfred Gaming is designed for adult Australians who choose to gamble for entertainment, not for financial pressure or emotional escape.
Our commitment is simple:
- Support players before problems arise
- Provide clear tools to manage spending and time
- Encourage healthy habits
- Respond quickly to requests for help
- Promote transparency in everything we offer
Responsible gambling is a shared responsibility — we provide the tools, and you choose how to use them.
How to Recognise Healthy Gambling
Healthy gambling typically looks like this:
You set a limit and stick to it
You stop when you've spent your entertainment budget
You only gamble with funds you can comfortably afford
You treat wins as lucky bonuses, not income
You don't feel pressure to deposit again immediately
If these behaviours describe your sessions, you're likely playing safely and in control.
Signs You May Need a Break
Gambling can become harmful when it shifts from entertainment to compulsion. Some common warning signs include:
Gambling longer than you originally planned
Feeling irritable when you stop playing
Chasing losses or "trying to win it back"
Depositing more frequently or in larger amounts
Hiding gambling activities from friends or family
Using gambling to escape stress, boredom or frustration
Feeling anxious about money after playing
If any of these feel familiar, even slightly, it may be time to pause and reflect on your play.
Tools Available to Help You Stay in Control
Spinfred provides several optional tools that you can use to manage your gambling behaviour. These tools are private, free and available to all players. Remember, gambling should be fun - whether you're playing pokies, casino games, or live casino.
Deposit Limits
Set a limit on how much you can deposit over a chosen period. Once set, the system will prevent you from exceeding that amount.
Deposit limits help you:
- Control your spending
- Play within a comfortable budget
- Avoid impulsive top-ups
Cooling-Off Periods
A short-term break option. Choose a timeframe (hours, days or weeks), and your account will be temporarily restricted from gameplay.
Cooling-off periods are ideal when you feel:
- Frustrated
- Emotional
- Tempted to continue playing after a tough session
Self-Exclusion
A long-term or permanent break. During self-exclusion, you cannot access your account until the chosen period ends.
Self-exclusion is a strong, private tool for players who feel they need to step away completely.
Session Awareness Prompts
We encourage players to monitor how long they've been active. Taking regular breaks helps:
- Reduce fatigue
- Improve decision-making
- Keep playtime enjoyable
Tips for Staying Safe While Gambling
These simple habits can dramatically improve your gambling experience:
Set a budget before you start
Decide your time limit
Never gamble when upset or stressed
Avoid mixing gambling with alcohol or heavy emotions
Take a break after big wins or losses
Treat gambling as entertainment, not a way to earn money
Avoid chasing "one last spin"
Know when to close the app or browser
Healthy gambling is always intentional, not impulsive.
Helping Someone Else
If you're concerned that a friend or family member may be developing a gambling issue, approach them gently.
Signs may include:
- Mood swings
- Secretive behaviour
- Sudden financial stress
- Avoiding conversations about gambling
- Borrowing money without explanation
Offer support, encourage open dialogue, and suggest they take a break or seek professional help if needed.
