Limit and exclusion questions
When Play Starts to Feel Heavy
Choose the Tool That Fits Tonight
Setting Up Before You Play
A deposit limit caps what you can add to the account over a day, a week or a month. Switch it on before your first session, while the numbers are still calm.
Name Your Loss Ceiling
A loss limit stops further staking once your net losses reach a figure you chose earlier. Turn it on if a losing run tends to pull you deeper than you planned.
Before the Clock Slips
Session time reminders nudge you when a set stretch of play has passed. Set one if you lose track of the clock and want a quiet prompt to stretch and check in.
Room to Think It Over
A cooling-off period pauses your account for a stretch you choose, and play stops for that while. Take one when you want distance without shutting the door for good.
From Pausing to Stopping
Self-exclusion closes your account to play for a period you select, and it is the firmest option here. Choose it when you want to stop rather than simply slow down.

When You Want a Limit in Place Tonight
Finding the Controls
Sign in and open the responsible gambling or limits area of your account settings. Check you are in your own single account before you change anything.
Which One Fits?
Pick the tool you want: a deposit limit, a loss limit, a session reminder or a pause. Read the short description beside each one so the choice matches your aim.
Amount and Period
Enter the amount or the time you are comfortable with, then choose whether it applies per day, week or month. Pick the period that matches how often you play.
A Limit That Shows
Save the setting and confirm the figure appears in your account before you play. If it looks wrong, adjust it then, while no bet has been placed.
Early Support
Chasing Losses and Broken Sleep
Catching these signs early keeps a habit small enough to steer. Set a deposit limit in your account, or take a cooling-off period, as your first step. No diagnosis, no judgement, just a calmer way to play.

- Spending money set aside for bills

- Playing longer than you planned

Getting Help
Where Do You Find Someone to Talk To?
National Gambling Helpline
Trained counsellors answer around the clock, every day of the year, by phone, online chat or email. Players and their families use it free of charge, and nothing you say leaves the conversation. 1800 858 858 gamblinghelponline.org.au
Gamblers Anonymous Australia
Peer meetings across Australia give people who gamble, and the relatives living alongside them, a room of others who understand. Meetings are free and open to anyone who wants to stop. gaaustralia.org.au
National Debt Helpline
Financial counsellors give free, confidential advice on gambling debt and how to organise repayments, by phone on weekdays during business hours. Relatives can call for guidance on the same number. ndh.org.au
Three Options
Match the Length to What You Need
How Long Do You Need?
A cooling-off period is a pre-set break of hours or days that you start yourself in your account. While it runs you cannot deposit or play, and the pause lifts on its own when the period ends.
Locking the Door Yourself
Self-exclusion closes your access for a long period, and it stays closed for the full term you pick. Start it in your account settings and expect marketing to stop; shortening it early is not possible, so choose the length carefully.
BetStop Registration
BetStop is the national register run by the Australian Government through ACMA, with a minimum of three months and up to a lifetime. Apply online in about five minutes, nominating a support person if you wish; registered people cannot bet, open accounts or receive marketing. betstop.gov.au
Firm Protections
You Have Questions Before You Play
Can I end a self-exclusion before the period runs out?
+
No. A self-exclusion runs for the full stretch you chose, and your account cannot lift it early. Pick the length with that in mind, since the block holds until the expiry you set.
Do the limit tools work the same on my mobile?
+
Yes. Open the account area in the mobile version and the same controls appear: deposit limits, loss limits and reminders, with nothing hidden behind a desktop view. Set the figure before you start playing, not after a session turns sour.
Why do I have to prove I am 18+ to play here?
+
Checks on age keep the games to adults, and the licence from the Malta Gaming Authority (MGA/B2C/531/2019) rests on them. Send the identity and address documents that verification requests and play resumes once they clear. Being 18+ is a threshold, not a target.
Can I shut my account permanently instead of pausing it?
+
Yes. Email the support team at the address shown on this page and ask for permanent closure; they will confirm when it is done. If you might return later, a cooling-off period or a BetStop registration puts a firm barrier in place.
Does self-exclusion here also block me at other casinos?
+
No. What you set at Gamba Casino stays inside this account and does not travel to other sites. BetStop, the national register operated by the Australian Government (ACMA), covers licensed online and phone wagering providers, where a registered person cannot bet, open accounts or receive marketing.
