Responsible Gaming

Rich Palms Casino is committed to promoting safer gambling and helping players keep gambling as a form of entertainment. Gambling should be enjoyable, not a way to make money, solve financial problems or escape personal difficulties. Take time to understand your choices, set limits before you play and never gamble more than you can afford to lose.

Keep gambling enjoyable and within your control

Responsible gambling starts with treating gambling as paid entertainment rather than a source of income. Games of chance are unpredictable, and no strategy can guarantee a win. Previous results do not determine future outcomes, and a losing run does not mean that a win is due. Only play with money set aside for entertainment after essential expenses have been covered.

Before you begin, decide how much time and money you are comfortable spending. Consider your household commitments, bills, savings and other regular costs. A gambling budget should be separate from money needed for rent, food, utilities, education, debt repayments or other essentials. If losing the amount would cause stress or financial difficulty, it is too much to gamble.

Set a spending limit before playing and stop when you reach it.
Set a time limit and take regular breaks away from gambling.
Do not chase losses or increase your bets to try to recover money.
Never borrow money, use credit intended for essential expenses or sell possessions to gamble.
Avoid gambling when you are upset, tired, stressed or under the influence of alcohol or other substances.
Keep gambling separate from work, study, family time and other responsibilities.
Do not rely on gambling winnings to pay bills or meet financial obligations.
Review your gambling regularly and be honest about how it affects your life.

It can also help to keep a record of deposits, wagers, wins and losses. Looking at the overall result can provide a more realistic view than focusing on individual wins or near misses. Remember that a win does not make a gambling activity profitable over time, and a loss should not be treated as a reason to continue playing.

Use available safer gambling tools

Account and play-management tools may help you maintain control. Depending on the services available on your account, you may be able to set deposit, wagering, loss or session limits, review your activity, take a temporary break or request account closure. Limits are designed to support your decisions, but they work best when they are set before you start playing.

Setting a limit

Choose an amount and time period that fit your personal circumstances. A limit should be realistic and low enough that reaching it will not affect your essential expenses. Once a limit has been reached, do not try to bypass it by opening another account, changing payment methods or asking another person to gamble on your behalf.

Taking a break

A temporary break can be useful if gambling has started to take more attention than you intended. During a break, remove gambling reminders where possible, avoid gambling-related discussions and spend time on other activities. If you find it difficult to return to your normal routine, consider seeking support rather than simply restarting play.

Self-exclusion and account closure

If you want to stop gambling, you can request account closure or self-exclusion through the available account support process. Self-exclusion is a serious commitment and should be considered when you do not want to gamble for a specified period or indefinitely. We may need to take reasonable steps to apply the request to the relevant account. You should also consider self-exclusion options offered by other gambling providers and services in your area.

Do not create a new account or use another person’s account during a break or self-exclusion period. If you have concerns about account access, limits or available tools, contact the relevant support channel through the website. No support channel should be used as a way to increase gambling beyond an amount you can afford.

Recognise signs of gambling harm

Gambling harm can develop gradually, and it is not always easy to notice. You may wish to pause and seek help if gambling is affecting your money, relationships, work, study, health or mood. You do not need to wait until a crisis occurs before asking for support.

Spending more time or money gambling than planned.
Trying to win back money after a loss.
Feeling restless, irritable or anxious when trying to stop.
Hiding gambling, losses or transactions from family and friends.
Borrowing money or using essential funds to continue gambling.
Missing work, study, appointments or social commitments because of gambling.
Thinking about gambling frequently or finding it difficult to focus on other activities.
Arguing with people close to you about gambling.
Feeling guilt, shame, stress or hopelessness after playing.
Gambling to cope with sadness, loneliness, anxiety or other difficult feelings.
Selling belongings, taking on debt or experiencing financial problems because of gambling.
Returning to gambling after deciding to stop.

If any of these signs apply to you, stop gambling and consider taking a break or requesting account closure. Talk openly with someone you trust and seek professional guidance. A qualified counsellor can help you understand your gambling, make a plan and address related financial or emotional concerns. Support is also available for family members and friends who are affected by someone else’s gambling.

If gambling has caused urgent financial difficulty, avoid taking further risks to solve the problem quickly. Make a list of essential expenses, pause gambling and consider speaking with a free financial counselling service in Australia. Keeping the issue secret can make it harder to resolve, while early support may help prevent further harm.

Support in Australia and player protections

Australian players can access information and support through Gambling Help Online and other state and territory gambling support services. These services may offer confidential information, counselling, online resources and guidance for people affected by gambling. You can also speak with a qualified health professional, financial counsellor or trusted person in your support network.

If gambling is connected with thoughts of self-harm, suicide, violence or immediate danger, stop gambling and seek urgent assistance through the appropriate emergency or crisis service in your location. Your safety is more important than any account, transaction or gambling outcome.

Age and account responsibility

Gambling is intended only for people who meet the applicable legal age and eligibility requirements. Do not allow children or other unauthorised people to access your account. Keep login details, devices and payment methods secure, and use suitable parental controls or device restrictions where appropriate. You are responsible for protecting access to your account and should report suspected unauthorised use through the relevant website support process.

Our approach

Rich Palms Casino aims to provide clear responsible gambling information and make available the account-management options supported by the service. We may apply checks or restrictions where required by applicable rules and our terms. Responsible gambling tools cannot remove all risk, so personal limits, regular breaks and early support remain important.

This page provides general information and is not a substitute for professional financial, medical or counselling advice. Gambling laws, available services and account features can vary. Please review the applicable terms and use the current support information provided through the website. If you are unsure whether gambling is safe for you, the safest choice is not to gamble.
