500 Casino Responsible Gaming
At 500 Casino, gambling should always be viewed as entertainment, not as a way to make money or solve financial problems. Casino games are based on chance, and outcomes cannot be predicted or controlled. Only play with money you can comfortably afford to lose.
Responsible gambling means making informed choices, setting personal boundaries and recognising when play may no longer feel enjoyable. This page explains the measures available through 500 Casino and identifies independent services that can provide further support.
Our Approach to Safer Gambling
500 Casino is committed to promoting a balanced and informed approach to online gambling. We provide information and account features intended to help customers remain aware of their play and make decisions that suit their circumstances.
Gambling should remain one form of leisure among many. It should not take priority over essential expenses, employment, education, relationships, health or other important responsibilities. A win is never guaranteed, and attempting to recover losses by continuing to gamble can increase risk.
We encourage every player to consider their own limits before depositing or playing. If gambling begins to cause worry, conflict, financial pressure or a loss of control, taking a break and seeking support can be an important next step.
When Gambling Becomes Concerning
Problem gambling can develop gradually, and different people may experience different warning signs. A concern may exist when gambling is no longer a freely chosen leisure activity and starts to feel difficult to reduce or stop.
- Spending more time or money gambling than originally planned.
- Chasing losses by continuing to play in the hope of winning money back.
- Borrowing money, selling possessions or missing important payments to fund gambling.
- Feeling restless, irritable or anxious when trying to cut down.
- Keeping gambling secret or giving misleading information about gambling activity.
- Neglecting work, study, family, friendships or personal wellbeing.
- Using gambling to escape stress, sadness, loneliness or other difficult feelings.
- Trying repeatedly to stop or reduce gambling without being able to maintain the change.
One warning sign does not provide a diagnosis, but it should not be ignored. Speaking with a qualified support service can help you understand what is happening and identify practical options.
Check Yourself and Set Boundaries
Regular self-assessment can help you review whether your gambling remains affordable and enjoyable. Consider how often you play, how much you spend, whether you are comfortable with the result and whether gambling affects other parts of your life.
500 Casino provides limit and break options intended to support personal control. Available settings and any applicable account conditions should be reviewed carefully before you confirm a request.
- Deposit limits: Set a maximum amount that can be deposited over a selected period, helping you keep gambling spending within a planned budget.
- Loss limits: Establish a personal limit for losses so that you do not continue playing beyond an amount you have decided is acceptable.
- Reality checks: Receive reminders about the amount of time spent playing, allowing you to pause and reconsider whether you want to continue.
- Cooling-off periods: Take a temporary break from gambling when you need space to reset your routine or review your behaviour.
- Self-exclusion: Request a longer-term restriction from using your account when a more decisive break is appropriate.
Limits work best when they are set before play begins and treated as firm boundaries. Do not increase a limit simply because you have experienced losses or want to continue for longer.
Features That Support Control
The responsible gambling features on the 500 Casino website are designed to make spending and playing habits easier to monitor. These tools are not a substitute for professional advice, but they can support decisions made in advance.
- Account deposit controls to help you choose and manage a planned deposit amount.
- Session and reality-check reminders to draw attention to the time spent on the website.
- Access to account activity and transaction information so that deposits and withdrawals can be reviewed.
- Cooling-off options for customers who want a temporary pause before returning to play.
- Self-exclusion functionality for customers who need to prevent access for a longer period.
- Responsible gambling information explaining safer play, warning signs and available support.
Use these features as part of a wider plan. Keeping personal spending records and checking bank activity may also help you maintain an accurate view of your gambling budget.
Where to Find Help
If gambling becomes difficult to control, please consider seeking professional help as soon as possible. A trained counsellor or support service can offer confidential guidance, help you understand your options and support practical changes.
For questions about responsible gambling features or account-based support, contact 500 Casino at [email protected]. Our assistance is separate from professional counselling, financial advice and clinical care.
Independent external services are also available. They are not partners of 500 Casino and are not operated by 500 Casino:
- Gambling Help Online provides information, guidance and support for people affected by gambling.
- Australian Government - Gambling Support Services provides information about support options and services.
The National Gambling Helpline on 1800 858 858 is a free and confidential support service for people affected by gambling. Support may also be relevant to family members, friends and others who are concerned about someone else's gambling.
Age Restrictions and Young People
Only individuals aged 18 or older may use the 500 Casino website. Underage gambling is not permitted. We may use account verification and other checks to confirm age and identity where appropriate.
Adults must not allow children or other underage people to access their account, payment methods or gambling devices. Do not share login details, and sign out after each session, particularly when a device is used by more than one person.
If you believe an underage person has accessed the website or an account, stop the activity and contact 500 Casino promptly. Any relevant information should be provided so the matter can be reviewed.
Protecting Access at Home
Parents and carers can take practical steps to reduce the risk of young people encountering gambling content or using an adult account. These measures are particularly important where phones, tablets or computers are shared.
- Use device passwords, separate user profiles and automatic screen locks.
- Keep account usernames, passwords and payment information private.
- Do not save login details on a shared device.
- Enable parental controls, content filters and age restrictions offered by your device, operating system or internet provider.
- Monitor app installations, browser access and payment activity where appropriate.
- Explain that gambling is an adult activity involving financial risk and is not a way to earn money.
Technical controls can reduce risk but cannot replace supervision and open conversations. Review settings regularly because devices, applications and household circumstances can change.
Simple Ways to Stay in Control
A clear plan before you play can make it easier to recognise when it is time to stop. The following habits can help keep gambling within safe personal boundaries:
- Set a gambling budget using money left after essential living costs have been paid.
- Decide how long you will play and use reminders to finish at the planned time.
- Never gamble with borrowed money, credit intended for necessities or funds needed for bills.
- Do not chase losses or increase stakes to try to recover money quickly.
- Take regular breaks and spend time on other activities away from gambling.
- Avoid gambling when affected by alcohol, drugs, severe tiredness or strong emotional distress.
- Keep gambling separate from financial planning, saving and debt repayment.
- Review your deposits, withdrawals and time spent playing regularly.
- Tell someone you trust about your limits if accountability would help.
- Use a cooling-off period or self-exclusion promptly if you feel control is weakening.
Winning can also create risk if it encourages longer sessions or larger bets. Treat wins as uncertain outcomes rather than as income, and keep your original limits in place.
Keeping This Policy Current
500 Casino may update this responsible gambling policy to reflect changes to website features, customer support processes, guidance or relevant operating practices. Any revised version will apply from the date it is made available on the website, unless a different effective date is stated.
We encourage customers to review this page from time to time, particularly before using the website after a lengthy break. Continued use of 500 Casino after an update may indicate that the revised information has been noted, but customers should read the current wording carefully.
If you have questions about a change or need help using a responsible gambling feature, please contact our support team through the available account support channels.
