Responsible Gaming

F1 Casino supports gambling as entertainment, not as a way to make money. Responsible gaming means understanding the risks, setting personal limits and taking a break whenever gambling stops being enjoyable. This page provides general information to help players in Australia make informed decisions and keep gambling within safe, affordable boundaries.

Gamble for entertainment, not income

Gambling involves risk, and there is no guaranteed way to win. Every wager can result in a loss, regardless of previous results, a preferred game or a belief that a win is due. Gambling should only use money that you can afford to lose after essential expenses and financial commitments have been met. It should never be treated as a source of income, a solution to debt or a way to recover money that has already been lost.

Gamble for entertainment, not income Set limits and use account controls Recognise warning signs and seek support Our approach to safer gambling

Before you play, decide how much time and money you are comfortable spending. Consider this amount an entertainment cost rather than an investment. Set your limits while you are thinking clearly, and do not increase them because you are excited, disappointed or trying to change the outcome of a session. A planned limit is useful only when you follow it.

Only gamble with disposable money, never money needed for rent, mortgage payments, food, bills, education or other important expenses.
Set a spending limit before you start and stop when that limit is reached.
Set a time limit and take regular breaks away from the screen.
Do not borrow money, use credit or sell possessions to fund gambling.
Do not gamble when you are upset, stressed, tired, intoxicated or under the influence of drugs.
Treat wins as part of the gambling experience, not as a reason to increase your spending.
Never chase losses by placing larger or more frequent bets.
Keep gambling separate from work, family responsibilities and other important activities.

Random outcomes are not affected by how long you have played or by the result of your previous bet. A losing run does not mean that a win is more likely next, and a recent win does not guarantee another win. Understanding this can help you avoid common decisions based on luck, emotion or the mistaken belief that losses can be reversed with more gambling.

Set limits and use account controls

Planning ahead is one of the simplest ways to keep gambling under control. F1 Casino may provide account features that allow players to manage their activity. Available features, settings and processing arrangements can vary, so review the options shown in your account and any applicable terms before using them. If you are unsure how a control works, contact the available support team through the approved channel shown on the site.

Deposit and spending limits

Where available, a deposit or spending limit can restrict the amount added to or used from an account over a selected period. Choose an amount that fits comfortably within your budget, rather than selecting a limit based on what you hope to win. A limit should be considered before gambling begins. Changing or increasing a limit may be subject to checks, waiting periods or other safeguards under applicable rules.

Time reminders and breaks

Time can pass quickly during online play. Use reminders, session breaks or other available tools to help you notice how long you have been active. Step away from the device, do something unrelated to gambling and return only if you still feel comfortable and within your planned limits. A short break can also make it easier to make decisions based on your original plan rather than on the last result.

Temporary breaks and self-exclusion

If you want to stop gambling for a period, consider using a temporary break or self-exclusion option if it is available. Self-exclusion is a formal request to prevent or restrict access to gambling services for a selected period or until further review. It should be used as a protective measure, not as a challenge to test your willpower. Once a restriction is requested, do not try to avoid it by opening another account or using someone else’s account.

Keep your account details private and never allow another person to gamble using your account.
Do not create additional accounts to get around a limit, break or exclusion.
Close the gambling website or application after your planned session.
Remove saved payment details if doing so helps you maintain your budget.
Review your deposits, withdrawals and play history regularly.
Ask for account restrictions promptly if you feel your gambling is becoming difficult to manage.

Recognise warning signs and seek support

Problem gambling can affect people from all backgrounds. It is not a matter of willpower or personal failure, and support is available. The earlier you notice a concern, the easier it may be to take practical steps. You do not need to wait until gambling has caused serious financial, relationship or emotional harm before asking for help.

Consider taking a break and seeking support if you notice that you are spending more time or money gambling than planned, thinking about gambling throughout the day, hiding your activity from people close to you or feeling restless when you cannot gamble. Other warning signs can include borrowing money, missing bills, selling possessions, neglecting work or family responsibilities, arguing about gambling, feeling anxious or low after playing, or returning to gamble in an attempt to recover losses.

You gamble with money intended for essential expenses.
You increase bet sizes or session length to achieve the same excitement.
You repeatedly try to reduce or stop gambling but find it difficult.
You feel guilty, secretive or defensive about your gambling.
You chase losses or believe a large win will solve financial problems.
You use gambling to escape stress, loneliness, sadness or other difficult feelings.
Your relationships, work, study, sleep or health are being affected.
Someone you trust has expressed concern about your gambling.

If any of these signs feel familiar, stop gambling and speak with someone you trust. This could be a partner, family member, friend, doctor, counsellor or qualified gambling support service. In Australia, local gambling support services and national services such as Gambling Help Online can provide confidential information, counselling and practical guidance. You can seek help whether you are a player, a family member or someone affected by another person’s gambling.

If gambling is causing immediate distress, financial danger or thoughts of self-harm, seek urgent help from emergency services or a qualified health professional. Your safety is more important than your account, your balance or any gambling outcome. F1 Casino cannot provide medical, financial or legal advice, so professional support should be used for personal circumstances that require specialist assistance.

Our approach to safer gambling

F1 Casino aims to provide clear information and practical safeguards to help players make informed choices. Responsible gaming is a shared responsibility. We encourage players to understand the risks, use the controls available to them and tell us when they need a restriction or a break. We may also take steps required by applicable laws, regulations, licence conditions or internal safety procedures when reviewing an account.

Online gambling services may apply age, identity, location, financial or safer-gambling checks. These checks are intended to support legal compliance, account security and player protection. We may ask for information or documents where required. Players should provide accurate information and should not attempt to avoid a restriction, verification process or account closure.

Age and account responsibility

Gambling is for adults who meet the applicable age and eligibility requirements. People under the legal gambling age must not create or use an account. Parents and guardians should use device settings, payment controls and account security measures to help prevent children from accessing gambling services. Keep passwords, verification codes and devices secure, and report suspected unauthorised access as soon as possible.

If you want to stop

You can choose to stop gambling at any time. Close the site, take a break, use the account tools available to you and speak with a support service or trusted person. If you have requested a limit, break, self-exclusion or account closure, do not try to reverse the decision while you are feeling tempted. Follow the instructions provided by the service and allow the relevant safeguards to operate.
