Responsible Gaming Policy

At au-bizzo-casino-online.com, gambling is offered strictly as a form of entertainment. It should be a fun and enjoyable leisure activity, not a way to make money or resolve financial problems.

Gambling involves risk: you can lose the money you stake. For some people, gambling can become difficult to control and may lead to financial, emotional, or relationship problems. This Responsible Gaming Policy explains how we help you stay in control and how you can protect yourself.

• Gambling must never be viewed as:
  • A source of regular income
  • A means to repay debts or fix financial difficulties
  • A way to “chase” previous losses

If you ever feel that your gambling is affecting your wellbeing, we strongly encourage you to use the tools described below and to seek external help from professional support organizations.

1. Our Commitment to Responsible Gambling

au-bizzo-casino-online.com is committed to providing a safe and fair gaming environment for players in Australia. Our core commitments are:

• To provide clear information about the risks of gambling
• To offer robust player protection tools and limits
• To verify that our players are adults (18+)
• To cooperate with reputable organizations that help those affected by gambling-related harm

We reserve the right to apply protective measures (including account restrictions or closure) where we have reasonable grounds to believe there may be harmful gambling behavior.

If you require any clarification about this policy or help using any of the tools below, please contact [email protected].

2. Personal Limits: Tools to Help You Stay in Control

You can manage your gaming activity through the “Personal Limits” section in your account. These tools are designed to help you set clear boundaries and stick to them.

In your account area, you can set various limits on:

• How much you deposit
• How much you can lose
• How much you can wager
• How long you can take a break from playing

Amending Your Limits

To prevent impulsive decisions made under emotional distress, changes to your limits work as follows:

• Decreasing a limit (making it stricter):

  • Takes effect immediately.
  • Example: If you reduce your daily deposit limit from $200 to $100, the new $100 limit applies straight away.

• Increasing a limit (making it less strict):

  • Takes effect after a cooling-off period.
  • The delay is designed to give you time to reconsider and avoid rash decisions made while chasing losses or experiencing frustration.

You can adjust your limits in the account settings under “Personal Limits” or by contacting our support team at [email protected] for assistance.

3. Types of Limits

Below are the specific limit options that you can use to manage your play.

3.1 Deposit Limit

A Deposit Limit restricts how much money you can deposit into your account over a set period.

You can choose to set:

• Daily Deposit Limit – maximum you can deposit in 24 hours
• Weekly Deposit Limit – maximum you can deposit from Monday to Sunday (or rolling 7 days, depending on platform implementation)
• Monthly Deposit Limit – maximum you can deposit within a calendar month

Key points:

• Once your deposit limit is reached for the chosen period, no further deposits will be accepted until that period resets.
• Lowering your deposit limit takes effect immediately; raising it only after a delay.
• Deposit limits are one of the most effective tools to ensure you only gamble with money you can afford to lose.

We strongly recommend setting deposit limits in line with your disposable income and personal budget.

3.2 Loss Limit

A Loss Limit caps the total amount of net losses you can incur over a chosen period.

Important: The loss limit is calculated based on your initial deposits, not on winnings. It is not a measure of every winning and losing bet individually, but your cumulative net result.

For example:

• If you deposit $200 and later your account balance falls to $50, your loss is $150.
• If your loss limit for that period is $150, you will not be able to continue playing once you reach that point.

Key points:

• You can set daily, weekly, or monthly loss limits.
• Once your loss limit is reached, you will be restricted from further wagering until the period resets.
• Decreasing a loss limit applies immediately; increasing it is delayed as a safeguard.

Loss limits are especially useful if you are concerned about “chasing losses” or spending beyond your comfort zone.

3.3 Wager Limit

A Wager Limit caps the total amount you can stake (bet) over a selected period, regardless of whether those bets win or lose.

You can set:

• Daily wager limits
• Weekly wager limits
• Monthly wager limits

Key points:

• The limit applies to the sum of all stakes placed within the period.
• Once reached, you will not be able to place further bets until the period resets.
• Again, stricter limits take effect immediately; higher limits only after a waiting period.

Wager limits help you manage the volume of your play and can be useful if you tend to place frequent bets in short periods.

3.4 Cooling-Off Limit (Short-Term Breaks)

A Cooling-Off Limit allows you to take a short-term break from gambling while still being able to access your account for certain functions.

You may request a cooling-off period for:

• 1 day
• 1 week
• 1 month
• Up to 6 months

During a cooling-off period:

• You cannot:

  • Make deposits
  • Place any bets or play casino games
  • Receive active marketing communications promoting gambling (where technically feasible and in accordance with applicable law)

• You can:

  • Log in to your account
  • Check your balance and transaction history
  • Request withdrawals of remaining funds

Cooling-off periods are useful when you feel you need to step back and reassess your gambling behavior but are not yet ready for a longer self-exclusion.

3.5 Self-Exclusion Limit (Formal Self-Exclusion)

If you believe that gambling is becoming a problem for you or you are at risk of developing a problem, we strongly encourage you to use our Self-Exclusion option.

Self-Exclusion is a more formal and longer-term measure than a cooling-off period. When you self-exclude:

• Your account is disabled for a defined period (e.g., 6 months, 1 year, 5 years, or other options provided on the site).
• You will not be able to log in, deposit, or wager during the exclusion period.
• We will take reasonable steps to prevent you from receiving marketing communications in relation to our gambling services during the exclusion period.

Self-exclusion is a serious step. If you feel that you are losing control of your gambling or if others have raised concerns about your behavior, choosing self-exclusion can be an important protective action.

3.6 Self-Exclusion by Request (Manual Blocking via Support)

If you prefer to initiate self-exclusion or an account block through direct contact, you can request this at any time by emailing [email protected].

In your email, please include:

• Your full name
• Your registered email address and username
• Your date of birth
• A clear statement that you wish to self-exclude or block your account
• The desired duration:
  • Definite period (e.g., 6 months, 1 year, etc.), or
  • Indefinite (until you specifically request a review, subject to our responsible gambling assessment)

Upon receipt of your request:

1. We will apply the self-exclusion or block as soon as reasonably possible.
2. You will receive a confirmation by email once the measure is in place.
3. Any remaining real-money funds in your account (excluding bonus funds and subject to verification and standard withdrawal terms) will normally be:
   • Made available for withdrawal, or
   • Processed as a withdrawal upon your request, subject to standard security checks and KYC requirements.

During self-exclusion, you should not attempt to open new accounts. If we detect duplicate or new accounts created during your exclusion period, we will take steps to close them as soon as they are detected and may forfeit any associated bonuses, in line with our Terms and Conditions.

4. Additional Player Protection Practices

Beyond limits and self-exclusion, we encourage all players to adopt the following responsible gambling behaviors:

• Set a budget for gambling and stick to it.
• Never gamble with money you cannot afford to lose, such as rent, bills, or essential living expenses.
• Avoid gambling when under the influence of alcohol, drugs, or strong emotions (stress, depression, anger).
• Treat gambling as entertainment, not a way to earn money.
• Take regular breaks to avoid prolonged sessions.
• Be honest with family and friends about your gambling habits.

If you feel unable to follow these guidelines, please consider using the more restrictive tools (such as self-exclusion) and seek professional help.

Gambling services at au-bizzo-casino-online.com are strictly restricted to adults aged 18 years and over. We take our legal and ethical responsibilities in this regard very seriously.

6.1 Age Verification and KYC

To prevent underage gambling, we implement Know Your Customer (KYC) and age verification procedures, which may include:

• Requesting official identification (e.g., passport, driver licence, or national ID card)
• Requesting proof of address (e.g., utility bill or bank statement)
• Cross-checking information against third-party databases where lawful and appropriate

If we believe that an account may have been registered by, or is being used by, a person under 18, we will:

• Suspend or close the account
• Void any winnings
• Return any deposits made, where appropriate and lawful, to the payment method used

6.2 Advice for Parents and Guardians

If you share a computer or device with minors, we recommend taking additional steps to prevent access to online gambling content:

• Keep your login details secure and never share usernames or passwords with children or teenagers.
• Always log out of your gambling account when you leave the device.
• Consider using content-filtering or parental control software, such as:
  • Net Nanny – https://www.netnanny.com
  • CyberPatrol – (legacy product; similar tools include Qustodio, Norton Family, Kaspersky Safe Kids)

These tools can help block or restrict access to gambling websites and other adult content.

If you suspect that a minor has an account with us, please contact [email protected] immediately so we can investigate and take appropriate action.
