Our Commitment to Responsible Gaming at National Casino
At National Casino, entertainment always comes first. Our platform offers more than 4,000 games from 50+ leading providers, yet we know that for a small number of players, gambling can shift from a fun pastime into a serious problem. That is why National Casino responsible gambling is not a footnote in our terms — it is a core pillar of how we operate. This page explains our approach to responsible gaming, describes the safer gambling tools available in your account, and points you towards professional gambling help services across Australia and worldwide.
Licensed by the Government of Curaçao, National Casino is committed to player protection at every stage of your journey. Whether you are setting your first deposit limits or considering self-exclusion, our support team is available 24/7 via live chat or at [email protected] to help you gamble responsibly.
Understanding Problem Gambling
Problem gambling develops gradually. What starts as an occasional flutter can, without proper gambling control, grow into a gambling addiction that affects finances, relationships and mental health. Recognising the warning signs early is the most effective form of prevention, and National Casino encourages every member to review them honestly.
Financial Warning Signs
- Spending more money on gambling than you can comfortably afford to lose
- Borrowing money, selling possessions or using credit to fund your play
- Chasing losses in the hope of winning back money already spent
- Struggling to pay bills, rent or everyday expenses because of gambling
- Hiding bank statements or lying about how much you have wagered
Emotional Warning Signs
- Feeling anxious, irritable or restless when you are not gambling
- Gambling to escape stress, boredom, loneliness or depression
- Experiencing guilt or shame after a gaming session
- Being preoccupied with gambling thoughts throughout the day
Social Warning Signs
- Neglecting work, study or family commitments in favour of gambling
- Withdrawing from friends and hobbies you once enjoyed
- Arguments with loved ones about time or money spent on gambling
- Concealing your gambling activity from the people closest to you
Self-Assessment: Are You in Control?
Honest self-reflection is the foundation of safe gambling. Ask yourself the following questions. If you answer "yes" to two or more, we strongly recommend using the National Casino gambling control tools described below or contacting a professional support service.
- Do you gamble with money set aside for essentials such as rent, food or bills?
- Have you ever lied to family or friends about your gambling?
- Do you return another day to try to win back losses?
- Have you tried to cut down or stop gambling and found you could not?
- Does gambling ever make you feel stressed, guilty or depressed?
- Do you gamble for longer sessions than you originally planned?
- Has anyone close to you expressed concern about your gambling?
- Do you borrow money or sell belongings to keep playing?
National Casino Safer Gambling Tools
Every National Casino account includes a full suite of safer gambling tools that you can activate at any time, free of charge. These features put you in charge of your budget and your time, making it easier to play responsibly. To enable any of them, visit your account settings or contact our 24/7 live chat.
| Tool | Options Available | How It Protects You |
|---|---|---|
| Deposit limits | Daily, weekly or monthly caps | Restricts the total amount you can deposit within a chosen period |
| Bet limits | Maximum stake per bet | Prevents impulsive high-stake wagers during a session |
| Loss limits | Daily, weekly or monthly caps | Stops play once a set amount has been lost in the period |
| Session limits | Time cap per gaming session | Logs you out automatically when your chosen time is reached |
| Cooling-off period | 24 hours, 48 hours, 7 days or 30 days | Temporarily locks your account so you can take a short break |
| Self-exclusion | 6 months, 1 year, 5 years or permanent | Blocks all access to your account for an extended period or forever |
Deposit, Bet, Loss and Session Limits
Limits are the simplest form of gambling control. Set a daily, weekly or monthly deposit limit that matches your entertainment budget, and National Casino will automatically reject any deposit that exceeds it. Loss limits and bet limits work in the same way, while session limits track your time on site and sign you out once your allowance is used. Lowering a limit takes effect immediately; raising a limit only applies after a mandatory waiting period, protecting you from spur-of-the-moment decisions.
Cooling-Off Period
If gambling starts to feel like more than entertainment, a cooling-off period gives you breathing space. Choose a break of 24 hours, 48 hours, 7 days or 30 days, and your National Casino account will be inaccessible for the entire duration. No promotional emails will be sent while the break is active, and the timeout cannot be cancelled early.
Self-Exclusion
For players who need a longer-term solution, National Casino self-exclusion closes your account for 6 months, 1 year, 5 years or permanently. During a self-exclusion period, you cannot log in, deposit or place bets, and our team will take reasonable steps to prevent you from opening new accounts. To request self-exclusion, contact live chat or email [email protected] with the subject line "Self-Exclusion". The measure cannot be reversed before the chosen term expires.
Activity Monitoring
Alongside player-activated tools, National Casino monitors account activity for patterns associated with problem gambling, such as sharply increasing deposits, extended late-night sessions or repeated cancelled withdrawals. Where we identify risk indicators, our player protection team may reach out with information about limits, breaks and professional gambling help services.
8 Golden Rules of Safe Gambling
Following a few simple principles keeps online gaming what it should be — entertainment. Here are the National Casino safe gambling rules we encourage every Australian player to follow:
- Gamble for fun, not for income. Casino games are entertainment; they are never a way to make money or pay debts.
- Set a budget before you play and never exceed it, no matter what happens during the session.
- Only gamble with money you can afford to lose. Essentials such as rent, groceries and bills always come first.
- Never chase your losses. Accept losses as the cost of entertainment and walk away.
- Set time limits and take regular breaks — use session limits to enforce them automatically.
- Avoid gambling when upset, stressed or under the influence of alcohol or other substances.
- Keep gambling in balance with family, work, sport and other interests.
- Know where to get help and reach out early if you feel your gambling control slipping.
Protection of Minors
National Casino is strictly an 18+ platform. Underage gambling is illegal, and preventing it is a central part of our responsible gambling framework. Mandatory KYC verification before the first withdrawal confirms every player's identity and age, and any account found to belong to a minor is closed immediately, with winnings voided.
Tips for Parents
- Never leave your National Casino account logged in on a shared device
- Keep usernames, passwords and payment details out of children's reach
- Do not save card details in browsers that children can access
- Talk openly with teenagers about the risks of underage gambling
- Supervise your children's internet use and check device histories regularly
Parental Control Software

National Casino Responsible Gambling — FAQ
How do I set deposit limits at National Casino?
Log in to your account, open the responsible gaming section in your settings and choose a daily, weekly or monthly deposit limit. The cap applies immediately. You can also ask our 24/7 live chat team to set deposit, bet, loss or session limits on your behalf.
What is the difference between a cooling-off period and self-exclusion?
A cooling-off period is a short break of 24 hours to 30 days, ideal when you simply need time away. Self-exclusion is a long-term measure lasting from 6 months to permanent closure, designed for players who feel their gambling control has been lost. Neither can be cancelled before the chosen term ends.
Can I cancel my self-exclusion early?
No. Once activated, National Casino self-exclusion remains in force for the full selected period. This strict policy exists to protect players from impulsive decisions and is a key part of our player protection commitment.
Where can Australian players find free gambling help?
Gambling Help Online (1800 858 858) offers free, confidential counselling 24/7 across Australia. Lifeline (13 11 14), Gamblers Anonymous Australia, GambleAware and Relationships Australia also provide support for players and their families affected by problem gambling.
How does National Casino protect minors?
National Casino requires all players to be 18 or older, verified through mandatory KYC checks before the first withdrawal. Accounts belonging to minors are closed immediately. We also recommend parental control software such as Net Nanny, Qustodio or Norton Family to keep gambling sites out of children's reach.
Does using safer gambling tools cost anything?
No. Every safe gambling feature at National Casino — limits, cooling-off periods, self-exclusion and activity monitoring — is completely free. These tools exist to help you play responsibly and keep your gaming experience healthy and enjoyable.
