Steadying the Session

Which Limits Sit Inside Your Account?

Read this when you want a ceiling on spending, a shorter session or a clean break from play.

Set Your Deposit Limits

Cap what can reach your balance, and switch one on before the first bet rather than after a lean night. Choose a figure you would spend on any ordinary evening out.

Stop at a Set Loss, Not After

Stop the session when net losses reach a figure you have already decided. Turn this on when you notice you chase a bad run further than planned.

How Long Have You Played?

Give each session a fixed window, and the account signals when that window closes. Switch it on if a quick round has drifted past the time you meant to spend.

When You Need a Clean Break

Close your account to play for a set period, so the break holds without relying on willpower. Use it when you want distance rather than a smaller limit.

A Gentle Reminder Mid-Session

Receive a reminder of how long you have been logged in, and take it as a cue to check the clock. Turn reminders on if you play without watching time.

Four Short Steps

How Do You Set a Limit in Your Account?

After these four steps you will have a limit saved in your account and a way to confirm it took hold.

A Look Before You Change

Open your profile from the menu after signing in with your email address, and glance over which settings are already active on the account.

The Responsible Gambling Area

Look for the responsible gambling area, where the limit and exclusion options are grouped, and note what each one covers before choosing.

Choose One Limit Type

Pick the limit type that matches your concern, then choose a figure that will not stretch your ordinary budget or leave you short elsewhere.

Check the Figure Sticks

Save the setting, then return to the same screen to make sure the new figure is displayed and stays there after a refresh.

Signs Worth Noticing Early

Catch these signs early and a habit stays small enough to steer. Notice two or three in your own week, then treat a limit or a short pause as the first move, not a last resort.

Read these and ask which ones sound like your last few sessions.

Chasing a loss with a bigger deposit
Playing past the time you planned
Hiding sessions from people at home
Borrowing money to keep playing
Feeling tense while the game loads
Saying one more spin, then many more
Spending money set aside for bills

Next Step

Who Will Listen Without Judging?

By the end you will know three free, confidential services and how to reach each one.

National Gambling Helpline

Call the national helpline at any hour, every day: it is free and confidential, with counselling by phone or online chat, self-help tools and a local service directory. 1800 858 858 gamblinghelponline.org.au

Gamblers Anonymous Australia

Sit in on a peer support meeting run by people who gamble, held across the country and open to relatives as well; find a nearby group. gaaustralia.org.au

National Debt Helpline

Ring the debt helpline on weekdays between 9:30 and 16:30 for free financial counselling when gambling has left bills unpaid; relatives can call for the same support. ndh.org.au

Pick a Brief Pause or a Full Stop

Set the Span You Want. Take a time-out when you need hours or days away rather than a permanent close. Set it inside your account before you next log in, pick the span you want, and access stays shut until that span runs out.

Days When Resolve Wears Thin. Close your own access for a long stretch rather than a brief pause. You start it in the account's responsible gambling area, and once it is on it cannot be lifted early, which is what gives the decision weight.

Sign Up in Five Minutes. Register with BetStop, the national self-exclusion register the Australian Government runs through ACMA. It covers licensed online and phone wagering, lasts at least 3 months up to a lifetime, cannot be shortened, and takes about 5 minutes online; while listed you cannot bet or open accounts. betstop.gov.au

Deciding right now

What Your Limits Really Do

Clears up the fear that a break can be undone or that asking for one costs you something.

Can I end a self-exclusion early if I change my mind?+

No. The exclusion you chose runs for its full period, so pick a length you can live with rather than a short one you might regret. If you are unsure, look at the longer option before you confirm.

How do I close my account permanently at 5Gringos Casino?+

Email the support team at [email protected] and ask for your account to be closed. Support is on hand at any hour, so a request sent overnight still reaches a person. A short break is a different tool from closing for good, so say which one you mean.

Where can I get help for a family member who gambles too much?+

Call the National Gambling Helpline and ask for guidance as a relative; the line advises the people around a player, not only the player. It is free and answers at any hour. A counsellor can talk through what to say and what to avoid.

If I change my mind, can I raise a deposit limit I set?+

You can adjust it later in the same part of your account where you set it. Think about the figure before you save it, because a limit works when it is fixed before play rather than after a hard night. Choose the amount your normal budget carries, not the amount a good mood suggests.

What does a short pause block, and when can I play again?+

A pause closes your account for a set stretch, and play is possible again only when that stretch ends. Nothing is decided in the moment, which is the point of it. Pick a break long enough to be useful rather than a token day.

Does self-excluding at 5Gringos Casino block me at other sites?+

No. An exclusion set here covers only this account, so the one way to close the door across licensed providers is BetStop, the national register run by the Australian Government. Registering there stops you opening accounts and receiving marketing from those providers.
