Responsible Gambling at Asino

Gambling should be entertainment, paid for with money you can afford to lose. It is not a way to fix debts, earn a living or chase back a bad week. We run Asino with that principle in mind, and we would rather lose a player's session than see it turn into a problem.

Everyone who plays here must be 18 or older. We may ask for proof of age and identity at any point, and accounts that fail those checks can be closed. Never let anyone under 18 use your device or log in as you. Parents can use filtering software such as parental controls to keep gambling sites away from younger family members.

You do not need a reason to use any of the following. Set them early, ideally before your first deposit of A$20 or more.

• Deposit limits: cap what you add to your account per day, week or month.
• Loss limits: stop play once you have lost a set amount over a chosen period.
• Session limits: decide in advance how long a single visit can last.
• Reality checks: timed pop-ups that show how long you have been playing.
• Cooling-off: a short break from your account, from a day up to several weeks.
• Self-exclusion: a longer or permanent block on your account when you need real distance.

Lowering a limit takes effect straight away. Raising one is delayed, so a heated moment cannot undo a calm decision. To activate any tool, message our support team through the contact page and we will apply it to your account.

Answer honestly, just for yourself. In the last 12 months, have you bet more than you could really afford to lose? Have you needed to gamble with larger amounts to feel the same buzz? Has gambling caused you stress, money worries or arguments at home? Have you felt guilty about how you play?

If you answered yes to even one, pause. Set a limit, take a cooling-off break, or talk to someone. Acting early is far easier than acting late.

You are not alone, and support costs nothing. Gambling Help Online offers free, confidential counselling around the clock on 1800 858 858, plus online chat and resources at gamblinghelponline.org.au. Reach out for yourself or on behalf of someone you care about.

Asino operates under licence number 0000064 issued by the Tobique Gaming Commission, and is owned by Metlait SRL. Our rules for accounts and bonuses are set out in our terms and conditions. If you ever feel gambling is taking over, close your account for a while and call the number above.

Problem gambling rarely announces itself. It creeps in. Watch for these patterns:

• Betting more than you planned, or for longer than you intended.
• Chasing losses with bigger stakes.
• Borrowing money, or skipping bills, to keep playing.
• Feeling restless or irritable when you try to cut back.
• Hiding your play from family or friends.
• Thinking about gambling constantly, even at work.

One of these does not mean you have a problem. Several together deserve attention.
