Responsible Gaming
Gambling should be treated as paid entertainment, not as a source of income or a way to recover debt. Every casino game and pokie involves risk, and no result or return is guaranteed.
Check Whether a Service Is Legal
Australian residents should verify any online gambling service before using it. Online casino games and online pokies are prohibited from being offered to people in Australia. Licensed online wagering providers can be checked through the Australian Communications and Media Authority register.
22-king.com does not encourage access to any gambling service that is prohibited in your location.
Keep Gambling Under Control
Before playing, decide how much money and time you can afford to spend. Sensible precautions include:
- Setting firm spending and time limits
- Gambling only with disposable funds
- Taking regular breaks
- Avoiding gambling when upset, stressed or under the influence
- Never borrowing money to gamble
- Not chasing money already lost
- Keeping gambling separate from essential household expenses
Treat every deposit as money that could be lost. Stop when you reach your limit, regardless of whether you are winning or losing.
Warning Signs
Gambling may be causing harm if you hide your activity, miss payments, borrow money, increase stakes to recover losses or find it difficult to stop. Other warning signs include disrupted sleep, relationship problems, reduced work performance and feeling anxious about money.
If any of these signs apply, pause immediately and seek independent help.
Time-Out and Self-Exclusion
Use any deposit-limit, time-out or self-exclusion controls available through your player account. If these options are not visible, contact the operator of the player platform and request that your account be restricted or closed.
BetStop is Australia’s National Self-Exclusion Register for licensed Australian online and telephone wagering providers. It does not cover every offshore or unlicensed website.
Protecting Minors
Gambling is strictly for adults aged 18 and over. Parents and guardians should keep account credentials private, secure payment methods and use device-level parental controls where necessary.
