Responsible Gambling

Gambling should always be an enjoyable form of entertainment. If it ever stops being fun, or starts causing stress, financial difficulty, or relationship problems — it is time to take action. This page outlines tools, guidance, and support resources available to Australian players.

Know the Signs of Problem Gambling

Problem gambling can develop gradually. Warning signs include:

  • Spending more time or money on gambling than you intended
  • Borrowing money or selling possessions to fund gambling
  • Hiding gambling activity from family or friends
  • Feeling anxious, restless, or irritable when not gambling
  • Chasing losses — gambling more to win back what you have lost
  • Neglecting work, family, or other responsibilities due to gambling

Set Limits and Stay in Control

Most reputable online casinos, including Heapsowins, offer responsible gambling tools:

  • Deposit limits — Cap how much you can deposit per day, week, or month.
  • Session time limits — Set a timer to alert you when you have played for too long.
  • Self-exclusion — Request a temporary or permanent ban from the platform.
  • Reality checks — Pop-up reminders of how long you have been playing.

Contact Heapsowins support directly to activate any of these tools.
