At Fortunica Casino, we believe that gambling should always be an enjoyable form of entertainment — never a source of stress, financial hardship, or personal harm. Our responsible gambling framework is designed to give Australian players complete control over their gaming activity, offering a comprehensive suite of safer gambling tools, educational resources, and direct access to professional support organisations. Fortunica Casino responsible gambling is not simply a legal obligation; it is a core value that underpins everything we do.
Understanding Problem Gambling
Problem gambling affects players of all backgrounds and income levels. It occurs when a person can no longer control their gambling behaviour, leading to negative consequences across financial, emotional, and social areas of life. Recognising the early warning signs is the first step toward getting help and reclaiming balance.
Financial Warning Signs
- Spending more than you can afford on gambling sessions
- Borrowing money or selling assets to fund gambling
- Chasing losses in an attempt to recover spent funds
- Neglecting bills, rent, or essential expenses to continue playing
- Hiding gambling expenditure from family members or partners
Emotional Warning Signs
- Feeling anxious, irritable, or depressed when not gambling
- Using gambling as a way to escape problems or relieve stress
- Experiencing guilt or shame after gambling sessions
- Lying to loved ones about the extent of your gambling activity
- Feeling unable to stop even when you want to
Social Warning Signs
- Neglecting family responsibilities, friendships, or work obligations
- Withdrawing from social activities to spend more time gambling
- Relationship breakdown caused by gambling-related conflict
- Loss of interest in hobbies and activities you once enjoyed
- Experiencing isolation or loneliness linked to gambling behaviour
Self-Assessment Questionnaire
If you are concerned about your gambling habits, answering the following questions honestly may help you assess whether you need support. Consider seeking professional gambling help if you answer "yes" to two or more of the following questions.
- Have you ever gambled with money you could not afford to lose?
- Have you tried to win back money you have lost gambling?
- Have you needed to gamble with increasing amounts of money to feel the same excitement?
- Have you hidden gambling activities from family members, friends, or partners?
- Have you felt restless or irritable when trying to reduce or stop gambling?
- Have you borrowed money, sold possessions, or used credit to fund gambling?
- Has gambling caused problems in your relationships or employment?
- Have you felt guilt, shame, or regret after gambling sessions?
- Have you neglected personal responsibilities because of gambling?
- Have you ever considered or attempted self-harm related to gambling losses?
Fortunica Casino Responsible Gambling Tools
Fortunica Casino gambling control options are available directly from your account dashboard at any time. Our player protection tools are free, easy to use, and take effect promptly. We encourage all players to use these features proactively — not just when problems arise.
Deposit Limits
Deposit limits allow you to cap the total amount of money you transfer into your Fortunica Casino account over a defined period. You can set daily, weekly, or monthly deposit limits to ensure your spending stays within your personal budget. Requests to decrease a limit take effect immediately, while requests to increase a limit are subject to a cooling-off period to encourage careful consideration.
Loss Limits
Loss limits cap the total net amount you can lose within a chosen timeframe. When your net losses reach the threshold you have set, Fortunica Casino will automatically stop you from placing further bets until the limit period resets. As with deposit limits, reductions take effect immediately and increases require a waiting period.
Session Limits
Session limits control the maximum amount of time you spend gambling in a single session. Once your session limit is reached, you will be automatically logged out of your account. Fortunica Casino session limits are a particularly effective tool for players who find themselves losing track of time during play.
Bet Limits
Bet limits allow you to set a maximum stake per individual wager. This prevents impulsive high-value bets during intense gaming sessions and keeps your play within sustainable boundaries.
Cooling-Off Period
A cooling-off period temporarily pauses your ability to gamble at Fortunica Casino for a set duration. Available options include 24 hours, 48 hours, 7 days, and 30 days. During a cooling-off period, you will be unable to log in or place bets, but your account and any remaining balance remain intact. A cooling-off period is ideal if you feel you need a short break to reassess your gambling habits without committing to a longer exclusion.
Self-Exclusion
Self-exclusion is a more permanent measure for players who feel their gambling is out of control. Fortunica Casino offers self-exclusion options of 6 months, 1 year, 5 years, or permanently. During the self-exclusion period, your account will be suspended and you will not be able to open a new account. We also endeavour to remove you from our marketing lists. Self-exclusion through Fortunica Casino is a serious step toward protecting your wellbeing, and we support your decision fully.
Reality Checks
Our reality check feature sends you periodic reminders showing how long you have been playing and a summary of your current session activity. These gentle nudges encourage you to pause and reflect on your gambling, helping you stay in control.
Account Activity Monitoring
Fortunica Casino continuously monitors account activity for patterns that may indicate problem gambling behaviour. If our team identifies concerning trends, we may reach out proactively to offer support and guidance.
The 8 Golden Rules of Safe Gambling
Practising safe gambling at Fortunica Casino starts with adopting healthy habits from the very first session. These eight golden rules will help you play responsibly and enjoy the experience without risk of harm.
- Gamble for entertainment only. Treat gambling as a leisure activity, not a way to make money or solve financial problems.
- Set a budget before you play. Decide how much you can afford to spend and stick to that amount, regardless of the outcome.
- Never chase your losses. Accepting losses as part of the experience prevents impulsive decisions and escalating spending.
- Set time limits. Use session limits to ensure gambling does not encroach on your daily responsibilities and personal time.
- Take regular breaks. Step away from the screen frequently to maintain perspective and avoid fatigue-induced decision-making.
- Keep gambling separate from alcohol or substances. Impaired judgement increases risk-taking behaviour and can lead to harmful outcomes.
- Balance gambling with other activities. Maintain hobbies, social connections, and physical activities to ensure gambling remains just one part of your life.
- Seek help early. If you notice any warning signs of problem gambling, reach out for gambling help before the situation escalates.
Protection of Minors
Fortunica Casino strictly prohibits gambling by anyone under the age of 18. We take our responsibility to protect minors extremely seriously and have implemented robust age-verification processes as part of our KYC (Know Your Customer) procedures. Every player must verify their identity and confirm their age before withdrawing funds or accessing the full range of site features.
Tips for Parents and Guardians
If you share a device or internet connection with children, we strongly recommend taking the following precautions to prevent underage access to online gambling platforms:
- Log out of your Fortunica Casino account after every session and never save your password on shared devices.
- Use a private or separate browser profile for gambling activities.
- Talk openly with your children about the risks associated with gambling.
- Monitor your children's online activity and explain why gambling sites are for adults only.
- Install parental control software to block access to gambling websites.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I set deposit limits at Fortunica Casino?
Log in to your Fortunica Casino account, navigate to the Responsible Gambling or Account Settings section, and select 'Deposit Limits'. Enter your preferred daily, weekly, or monthly limit and confirm. Reductions apply immediately, while increases are subject to a review period.
What is the difference between a cooling-off period and self-exclusion?
A cooling-off period is a short temporary break (24 hours to 30 days) during which you cannot log in or gamble. Self-exclusion is a longer, more serious measure lasting from 6 months to permanently. During self-exclusion, your account is fully suspended and you will be removed from marketing communications.
Can I reverse a self-exclusion?
Self-exclusion periods are binding for their full duration. A 6-month exclusion, for example, cannot be reversed before those 6 months have elapsed. This is an intentional safeguard to protect players from impulsive decisions. After the exclusion period ends, you may contact us to request reinstatement.
Is Fortunica Casino gambling control available on mobile?
Yes. All Fortunica Casino gambling control features, including deposit limits, loss limits, session limits, and self-exclusion, are fully accessible on both our Android APK app and our iOS PWA web app.
What happens to my balance during self-exclusion?
Your balance is preserved during self-exclusion. You may contact our support team at [email protected] to request a withdrawal of your remaining funds at any time during your exclusion period.
Where can I find immediate help for gambling addiction?
If you or someone you know is experiencing gambling addiction, please contact Gambling Help Online at 1800 858 858 (free, 24/7) or visit their website for live chat support. Lifeline is also available at 13 11 14 for crisis support at any time.
