Responsible Gambling

Last updated: 2026-05-20

Gambling should always be a form of entertainment — never a way to make money, escape problems, or chase losses. At Ignition Casino Australia we are committed to promoting safer gambling practices and providing Australian players with the information and tools they need to stay in control.

Age Restriction

Gambling is restricted to persons aged 18 and over in Australia. If you are under 18, you must not access this Site or attempt to gamble at any operator featured here.

Recognising the Signs of Problem Gambling

Gambling can stop being entertainment when it begins to negatively affect your life. Common warning signs include:

  • Spending more money or time on gambling than you intended;
  • Chasing losses by placing larger or more frequent bets;
  • Borrowing money or selling possessions to fund gambling;
  • Lying to family or friends about gambling activity;
  • Feeling anxious, irritable, or depressed when not gambling;
  • Neglecting work, study, relationships, or personal responsibilities;
  • Using gambling to escape stress, sadness, or anxiety;
  • Feeling unable to stop, even when you want to.

If you recognise several of these signs in yourself or a loved one, please consider seeking support from the resources listed below.

Tools to Stay in Control

Reputable online casinos — including Ignition Casino — provide a range of responsible gambling tools that you can use directly inside your account:

  • Deposit limits — set a daily, weekly, or monthly cap on how much you can deposit.
  • Loss limits — define the maximum amount you are willing to lose over a set period.
  • Wager limits — limit the total amount you can bet within a chosen timeframe.
  • Session time reminders — receive pop-up alerts when you have been playing for an extended period.
  • Cooling-off periods (time-out) — temporarily suspend your account for a few hours, days, or weeks.
  • Self-exclusion — block your account for an extended period (six months, twelve months, or longer) during which you cannot log in or deposit.

To activate any of these tools, log into your account at the operator’s site and visit the account preferences or responsible gambling section. If you need assistance, contact the operator’s 24/7 support team.

Tips for Safer Gambling

  • Set a budget before you start playing, and stick to it.
  • Never gamble with money you cannot afford to lose.
  • Never chase losses — accept that losing is part of the game.
  • Take regular breaks during long sessions.
  • Avoid gambling when stressed, tired, or under the influence of alcohol.
  • Keep gambling as one of several leisure activities — not the only one.

Protecting Minors
