Responsible Gaming
Responsible gaming means keeping gambling as paid entertainment and staying in control of time and money. At Justcasino on betjust-au.com, we encourage informed play, early recognition of risk, and using protective tools before gambling stops being enjoyable. If you feel play is becoming difficult to manage, our team can help you access account controls and point you to confidential professional support services.
Risk Awareness
OBSERVE: Gambling can shift from recreation to harm when play becomes frequent, emotionally driven, or financially disruptive. EXPAND: Because online play is always available, risk can escalate quickly through repeated deposits, chasing losses, and secrecy. REFLECT: Use the warning signs and self-check below to decide whether to take a break, set limits, or seek support.
- Loss of control: Betting longer or with more money than intended, or failing repeated attempts to cut back.
- Preoccupation: Constantly thinking about gambling, planning the next session, or reliving past wins/losses outside play time.
- Chasing losses: Trying to "win back" money, increasing stakes after losing, or depositing again immediately after losses.
- Emotional triggers: Gambling to escape stress, anxiety, loneliness, boredom, or low mood; irritability when not playing.
- Financial strain: Missing bills, using credit you cannot repay, borrowing, selling items, or hiding spending from others.
- Relationship/work impacts: Conflict with family, reduced performance, missed responsibilities, or isolating yourself.
- Secrecy and minimisation: Lying about time/money spent, using multiple accounts/devices, or feeling ashamed afterwards.
Quick self-assessment (private check)
OBSERVE: Honest self-review can identify harm early. EXPAND: A pattern matters more than any single "yes". REFLECT: If you answer "Yes" to 2+ statements, consider setting limits or using Time-Out; 4+ suggests you should seek professional help.
- Have I gambled longer than I planned in the past 4 weeks?
- Have I deposited again quickly after losing to try to recover money?
- Do I think about gambling when I am not playing (work, family time, late at night)?
- Have I hidden gambling activity or spending from someone close to me?
- Have I missed sleep, work, study, or family obligations because of gambling?
- Have I felt anxious, guilty, or irritable because of my gambling?
- Have I used money meant for essentials (rent, food, bills) to gamble?
- Have I borrowed money or sold something to fund gambling?
Regional compliance note (AU): If you are in Australia and feel at risk of harm, you can access free, confidential support via national and state-based services listed below. If you are in immediate danger or crisis, call 000.
Limits & Tools
OBSERVE: The most effective protection is to set limits before risk escalates. EXPAND: Limits work best when they are realistic, cover both money and time, and are not changed impulsively. REFLECT: Use the steps below to set deposit limits, manage session time, and activate short breaks on betjust-au.com.
Deposit limits (daily / weekly / monthly)
- Open your account: Log in to your Justcasino profile on betjust-au.com.
- Go to controls: Navigate to Account or Profile and select Responsible Gaming (sometimes shown as Limits).
- Select "Deposit Limit": Choose the limit period:
- Daily: Maximum total deposits allowed within a rolling 24-hour period.
- Weekly: Maximum total deposits allowed within a rolling 7-day period.
- Monthly: Maximum total deposits allowed within a rolling calendar/rolling 30-day period (as displayed in your account).
- Enter an amount: Input a number you can afford to lose as entertainment spend (e.g., 20 / 100 / 300). Use whole currency units as the interface requires.
- Confirm: Save the settings and follow any confirmation step (e.g., password re-entry or confirmation button).
- Effect: Once the limit is reached, further deposits are blocked until the period resets.
Important: Any request to increase a limit should be treated as a risk moment. If the system offers an increase option, consider using Time-Out first and reassessing your budget.
Time spent limits (session timers)
OBSERVE: Time loss is a common early warning sign, especially on mobile. EXPAND: A timer reduces "autopilot" play and supports planned sessions. REFLECT: Set a session reminder so you receive prompts to stop or take a break.
- Log in on betjust-au.com and open Account / Responsible Gaming.
- Select Session Timer (or Reality Check / Time Reminder).
- Choose an interval (for example, 30, 60, or 90 minutes) based on your routine.
- Save. You will receive periodic on-screen reminders about time spent and options to log out.
Time-Out (short breaks of 24 - 72 hours)
OBSERVE: Short breaks are suitable when you notice early loss of control but do not yet need long-term exclusion. EXPAND: A Time-Out prevents impulsive deposits and gives space to reset. REFLECT: Use Time-Out for 24, 48, or 72 hours and combine it with support resources if urges persist.
- Go to Account -> Responsible Gaming on betjust-au.com.
- Select Time-Out (or Take a Break).
- Choose 24, 48, or 72 hours.
- Confirm your decision. Your account will be paused for the chosen time.
- During Time-Out you should not be able to gamble; if you need urgent help, contact support and use the services listed below.
Self-Exclusion
OBSERVE: Self-exclusion is the strongest responsible gaming tool and is intended for players who want a longer, enforced stop. EXPAND: In an online/offshore context, self-exclusion applies to your account on betjust-au.com and cannot guarantee blocks on other websites; pairing it with device/app blocking is recommended. REFLECT: Choose a period that matches your risk level and seek professional support when needed.
How to self-exclude (temporary or permanent)
- Log in: Access your Justcasino account at betjust-au.com.
- Find the tool: Go to Account / Profile -> Responsible Gaming -> Self-Exclusion.
- Select the period: Choose a self-exclusion duration from 6 months up to lifetime (permanent).
- Confirm: Read the notice on consequences, then confirm (you may be asked to re-enter your password or confirm via on-screen prompt).
- Contact support if needed: If you cannot access the self-exclusion tool, request self-exclusion by email at [email protected].
Consequences of self-exclusion
- No access: You will not be able to log in or place bets during the exclusion period.
- Marketing suppression: We aim to stop responsible-gaming-inconsistent marketing to self-excluded customers; however, operational processing time may apply.
- Withdrawals and remaining balance: You may be required to complete security checks before any withdrawal can be processed. If you have remaining funds, request withdrawal instructions through [email protected]. Any refund/withdrawal handling is subject to applicable identity/anti-fraud verification and the website's terms.
- No early reversal: For player safety, self-exclusion is designed not to be cancelled before it ends. Lifetime exclusions are intended to be permanent.
- Account recreation: Creating a new account to bypass self-exclusion is prohibited. If detected, accounts may be closed and play restricted to protect you.
Regulatory context (AU): Australia's National Self-Exclusion Register (BetStop) applies to licensed Australian online wagering providers. Because Justcasino operates on betjust-au.com under a Curaçao e-gaming licence (Antillephone N.V.), BetStop may not apply to this service. If you also use Australian licensed wagering services, consider registering with BetStop as an additional protection.

OBSERVE: Gambling harm support is most effective when it is easy to access, confidential, and available beyond the operator.

Help for Family
OBSERVE: Gambling harm often affects partners, parents, and friends through trust issues, financial stress, and emotional strain. EXPAND: Confrontation can increase secrecy; structured, supportive conversations and practical safeguards work better. REFLECT: Use the guidance below to start a safer conversation and connect your family to specialist support.
How to talk to someone you're worried about
- Choose timing and tone: Talk when they are calm and not actively gambling. Use "I" statements (e.g., "I'm worried about..."), not accusations.
- Describe specific impacts: Focus on observable facts (missed bills, lost sleep, withdrawal from family) rather than moral judgments.
- Offer practical help: Suggest a Time-Out or self-exclusion on betjust-au.com, installing blocking software, and contacting a helpline together.
- Avoid enabling: Do not lend money to gamble or pay gambling debts without professional guidance; consider joint budgeting support.
- Set boundaries: Agree what you will do if gambling continues (e.g., separating finances, limiting access to shared funds).

- Professional assessment: Encourage a GP, psychologist, or counsellor experienced in gambling harm.
- Use specialist helplines: Call 1800 858 858 (AU) for confidential advice and local referrals.
- Apply safeguards: Self-exclusion + blocking tools + financial controls (separate accounts, spending alerts).
- Look after yourself: Affected family members may also need counselling and peer support.
Operator's Commitment
OBSERVE: An operator has a duty to provide safer gambling tools, clear information, and responsive support pathways. EXPAND: Risk can be inferred from behavioural patterns such as escalating deposits, extended sessions, repeated failed withdrawals due to verification gaps, or indicators of distress in communications. REFLECT: Justcasino on betjust-au.com applies proportionate monitoring and interventions intended to reduce harm while respecting privacy.
Internal risk-check procedures
- Behavioural indicators: Monitoring for patterns such as unusually long sessions, rapid repeated deposits, abrupt stake increases, or persistent chasing behaviour.
- On-site safety messaging: Where available, displaying reminders (session timers/reality checks) and prompts to set limits or take breaks.
- Customer support routing: Directing responsible gaming requests to trained staff and prioritising self-exclusion/Time-Out requests.
- Payment and security alignment: Applying checks designed to prevent misuse, including identity verification when required to protect the player and the platform.
When we may initiate contact
OBSERVE: Early contact can reduce harm if handled respectfully. EXPAND: Triggers should be risk-based and proportionate. REFLECT: Support may contact you (via on-site message or email) if we detect one or more of the following patterns:
- Escalation: Rapid increase in deposit frequency or amounts over a short period.
- Time-related risk: Extended continuous play sessions or repeated late-night sessions indicating loss of control.
- Distress signals: Messages to support referencing financial hardship, loss of control, or requests for urgent assistance.
- Repeated limit changes: Attempts to frequently raise limits or override protective settings (where such options exist).
Privacy and purpose limitation: Any contact is intended to provide support options (limits, Time-Out, self-exclusion, and independent help resources). It is not a substitute for medical advice or counselling.
