At Fairspin Casino, we believe that gambling should always be an enjoyable, safe, and controlled form of entertainment. Our responsible gambling policy is built on a genuine commitment to player protection — giving every Australian player the information, tools, and support they need to gamble responsibly. Whether you are a casual player or a regular visitor, Fairspin Casino responsible gambling practices are designed to keep the experience positive and sustainable. This page outlines everything you need to know about safe gambling, recognising problem behaviour, using our safer gambling tools, and accessing professional gambling help when it matters most.
Our Commitment to Responsible Gaming
Fairspin Casino is operated by a company registered and licensed in Curaçao, and we take our duty of care to players extremely seriously. Responsible gaming is not merely a legal obligation — it is a core value that shapes how we design our platform, communicate with players, and respond to signs of difficulty. We are committed to providing a transparent and fair environment where gambling control is always in the player's hands.
Our approach to Fairspin Casino safe gambling rests on three pillars:
- Prevention — equipping players with knowledge about the risks before problems arise.
- Protection — offering robust tools that let players set boundaries on their own activity.
- Support — connecting players with Australian and international organisations when professional gambling help is needed.
We encourage every player to treat gambling as a leisure activity, not a source of income or a means to relieve stress. If at any point the fun fades, Fairspin Casino is here to help you regain control.
Understanding Problem Gambling
Problem gambling can affect anyone regardless of age, background, or experience. It develops gradually — what begins as casual entertainment can escalate into a pattern of behaviour that impacts finances, relationships, and mental wellbeing. Recognising the early signs is the first step toward effective gambling control.
Financial Warning Signs
- Spending more than you can afford to lose.
- Borrowing money or selling possessions to fund gambling.
- Chasing losses in an attempt to win back money.
- Neglecting household bills or other financial obligations.
- Hiding gambling activity or expenditure from family members.
Emotional and Psychological Warning Signs
- Feeling anxious, irritable, or restless when not gambling.
- Using gambling to escape stress, anxiety, or depression.
- Feeling guilt or shame after a gambling session.
- Thinking obsessively about past wins or planning the next bet.
- Failed attempts to cut back or stop gambling entirely.
Social Warning Signs
- Withdrawing from family, friends, or social activities.
- Lying to loved ones about the extent of your gambling.
- Neglecting work, study, or family responsibilities.
- Conflict with partners or family members related to gambling.
- Loss of interest in hobbies and activities you previously enjoyed.
If any of these signs resonate with you, we strongly encourage you to use our safer gambling tools and seek assistance from one of the support organisations listed further below.
Self-Assessment Questionnaire
Honest self-reflection is a powerful tool in responsible gambling. Answer the questions below as truthfully as you can. There are no right or wrong answers — the goal is simply to gain clarity about your gambling habits.
- Do you gamble more than you originally intend to?
- Have you ever gambled to recover money you have lost?
- Do you feel restless or irritable when you try to reduce or stop gambling?
- Have you ever lied to family members or friends about how much you gamble?
- Has gambling ever caused you to miss work, study, or important commitments?
- Have you borrowed money or sold anything to fund your gambling?
- Do you find yourself thinking about gambling throughout the day?
- Have you made repeated unsuccessful efforts to control or stop gambling?
- Do you gamble to escape problems or to relieve feelings of stress or sadness?
- Has gambling ever led to arguments, relationship problems, or financial hardship?
If you answered yes to three or more questions, your gambling behaviour may be causing harm. We recommend activating the safer gambling tools available in your Fairspin Casino account and speaking to a professional counsellor. Help is available, and taking action early can make a significant difference.
Fairspin Casino Safer Gambling Tools
Fairspin Casino provides a comprehensive suite of safer gambling tools that you can activate directly from your account settings. These tools empower you to play responsibly by giving you full control over your gambling activity. All limits are applied immediately or — where a reduction is involved — within 24 hours to prevent circumvention.
Deposit Limits
Deposit limits allow you to cap the total amount of money you can add to your account over a set period. Fairspin Casino deposit limits can be configured on a daily, weekly, or monthly basis, ensuring your spending never exceeds what you are comfortable with.
| Limit Type | Period | How to Change | Takes Effect |
|---|---|---|---|
| Daily deposit limit | 24 hours | Account Settings → Responsible Gambling | Immediately (reductions); 24 h (increases) |
| Weekly deposit limit | 7 days | Account Settings → Responsible Gambling | Immediately (reductions); 24 h (increases) |
| Monthly deposit limit | 30 days | Account Settings → Responsible Gambling | Immediately (reductions); 24 h (increases) |
Bet Limits
Bet limits let you define the maximum stake you can place on any single wager. This helps prevent impulsive large bets during emotionally charged sessions and supports consistent gambling control. Like deposit limits, bet limits can be set per day, per week, or per month.
Loss Limits
Loss limits set a ceiling on the total amount you are permitted to lose within a defined period. Once your loss limit is reached, you will be unable to place further bets until the period resets. Fairspin Casino considers loss limits one of the most effective tools for responsible gambling, as they directly prevent runaway losses.
Session Limits
Session limits control how long you can remain logged in to Fairspin Casino in a single sitting. Options include limits of 30 minutes, 1 hour, 2 hours, 4 hours, or a custom duration of your choosing. When the session limit expires, you will be automatically logged out. Session limits are especially helpful for players who lose track of time and are a cornerstone of Fairspin Casino responsible gaming.
Cooling-Off Period
If you feel you need a short break from gambling without committing to full self-exclusion, a cooling-off period is the ideal option. Fairspin Casino offers the following cooling-off period durations:
- 24-hour cooling-off — a brief pause for reassessment.
- 48-hour cooling-off — a weekend break if needed.
- 7-day cooling-off — a full week away from the platform.
- 30-day cooling-off — an extended break recommended for players experiencing recurring difficulties.
During any cooling-off period, your account will be restricted from all gambling activity. You will not receive promotional emails or bonus offers during this time. The cooling-off period cannot be cancelled before it expires — this is intentional, to ensure the break achieves its purpose.
Self-Exclusion
Self-exclusion is a more permanent measure for players who wish to step back from gambling for a significant period. Fairspin Casino self-exclusion options are:
| Self-Exclusion Duration | Account Status | Promotional Contact |
|---|---|---|
| 6 months | Suspended | Stopped immediately |
| 1 year | Suspended | Stopped immediately |
| 5 years | Suspended | Stopped immediately |
| Permanent | Closed permanently | Stopped immediately |
To activate self-exclusion, navigate to Account Settings → Responsible Gambling → Self-Exclusion, or contact our support team via live chat at any time. If you choose permanent self-exclusion, your account will be closed and you will not be able to create a new account under the same identity. Fairspin Casino treats self-exclusion requests with the highest priority — they are processed immediately.
Activity Monitoring and Reality Checks
Fairspin Casino provides an activity monitoring dashboard where you can review your gambling history, including total deposits, total wagers, total losses, and session durations. Reality check notifications can also be activated — these are pop-up reminders shown at intervals you choose (every 30 minutes, 1 hour, or 2 hours) to remind you how long you have been playing and how much you have wagered. These tools support mindful, responsible gaming at every session.
The 8 Golden Rules of Safe Gambling
Following these principles will help you maintain a healthy relationship with gambling and continue to play responsibly for the long term. Fairspin Casino encourages all players to commit these rules to memory.
- Set a budget before you play — Decide how much you are prepared to spend and activate deposit limits to enforce it.
- Treat losses as the cost of entertainment — Never chase losses. Every gambling outcome is independent of the last.
- Set time limits — Use session limits so that gambling does not eat into time reserved for family, friends, and rest.
- Never gamble when stressed or emotional — Decisions made under emotional pressure are rarely sound. Step away if you are upset.
- Never borrow money to gamble — Only gamble with disposable income. Debt and gambling are a dangerous combination.
- Balance gambling with other activities — A healthy lifestyle includes varied leisure pursuits. If gambling is your only recreation, seek balance.
- Take regular breaks — Use the cooling-off period feature if you feel you need structured time away.
- Seek help early — If you notice warning signs, do not wait. Use Fairspin Casino's tools and reach out to a gambling help service today.
Protection of Minors
Protecting young people from gambling harm is a non-negotiable obligation. Fairspin Casino operates a strict 18+ policy. Age verification (KYC) is mandatory for all players before any withdrawal is processed, and we reserve the right to request age verification documentation at any time. Accounts found to be held by minors will be immediately suspended and all funds returned.
Tips for Parents and Guardians
If you share a computer or mobile device with children or teenagers, we urge you to take the following steps to prevent underage access to online gambling sites:
- Never leave your Fairspin Casino account logged in on a shared device.
- Keep your login credentials completely private.
- Use parental control software on all shared devices.
- Have open conversations with young people about the risks of gambling.
- Report any suspicion that a minor has accessed your account to our support team at [email protected].
Recommended Parental Control Software
| Software | Platform | Key Features |
|---|---|---|
| Net Nanny | Windows, Mac, iOS, Android | Content filtering, screen time management, app blocking |
| Qustodio | Windows, Mac, iOS, Android, Kindle | Gambling site blocking, activity reports, location tracking |
| Norton Family | Windows, Android (iOS limited) | Web supervision, search monitoring, time limits |
Gambling Blocking Software
For players who want an additional technical barrier to prevent access to gambling sites entirely, the following blocking software tools are highly effective. These tools work independently of Fairspin Casino's own safer gambling tools and provide an extra layer of protection at the device or network level.
- Gamban — Blocks thousands of gambling websites and apps across all your devices. Available for Windows, Mac, iOS, and Android. Highly recommended for players who have chosen long-term self-exclusion.
- BetBlocker — A free, open-source blocking tool that restricts access to gambling sites for periods ranging from 24 hours to 5 years. Works across multiple devices and is particularly easy to set up.
- Betfilter — A comprehensive gambling blocking solution for Windows and Mac that prevents access to over 50,000 gambling-related websites and prevents uninstallation without a support contact.
We recommend using these tools in combination with Fairspin Casino's built-in self-exclusion and cooling-off period options for the most comprehensive approach to safe gambling.

Frequently Asked Questions — Responsible Gambling at Fairspin Casino
How do I set deposit limits on my Fairspin Casino account?
Log in to your account, navigate to Account Settings, and select the Responsible Gambling section. From there you can configure daily, weekly, and monthly deposit limits. Reductions take effect immediately; increases are delayed by 24 hours as a safeguard to support responsible gaming.
What is the difference between a cooling-off period and self-exclusion?
A cooling-off period is a short-term break — ranging from 24 hours to 30 days — during which your account is suspended. It is designed for players who need a pause but plan to return. Self-exclusion is a longer-term or permanent measure, lasting from 6 months to permanently, for players who need a more serious break from Fairspin Casino and online gambling generally.
Can I cancel my self-exclusion early?
No. To protect the integrity of the process and your wellbeing, self-exclusion cannot be cancelled before the chosen period expires. This is consistent with best practice in responsible gambling and ensures that the break fulfils its intended purpose.
What happens to my balance during a cooling-off period or self-exclusion?
Your funds remain safe in your account. If you have chosen permanent self-exclusion, you may request withdrawal of your remaining balance by contacting our support team at [email protected]. Pending bonus funds may be forfeited in accordance with our Terms and Conditions.
Does Fairspin Casino share my responsible gambling information with anyone?
No. All information related to your use of safer gambling tools is treated as strictly confidential and is protected under our Privacy Policy. Your data is processed in accordance with applicable data protection regulations and is never shared with third parties for commercial purposes.
