Responsible Gambling at Space77 Australia

At Space77, we are committed to providing a safe and enjoyable environment for all our players.

Understanding Responsible Gambling

Responsible gambling is about being aware of how and why you're playing, and staying within personal limits. It's about understanding that winning is never guaranteed and treating gambling as an expense similar to any other entertainment, such as going to the movies. Here are some practical steps to ensure your gaming remains a fun activity:

• Only gamble with money you can afford to lose
• Treat gambling as a form of entertainment, not as a way to make money
• Set time and monetary limits and do not chase losses
• Take breaks and ensure it doesn’t interfere with your daily life
• Educate yourself on how the games work

By adhering to these guidelines, you can create a balanced approach to gambling that supports fun and leisure without unexpected consequences. Responsible gambling practices help to sustain the enjoyment that online gaming is intended to bring, and they offer peace of mind knowing you are in control of your playing habits.

Safer Gambling Tools Available

To assist in managing your gaming experience, Space77 offers several safer-gambling tools. These features are designed to help you play responsibly and maintain control over your gaming activities. Each tool is aimed at empowering you with the autonomy to manage your gaming behaviour and stay aligned with your personal boundaries.

Deposit Limits

Set daily, weekly, or monthly deposit limits to control the amount of money you can deposit into your Space77 account. This feature helps prevent spending more than you can afford and can be adjusted at any time, but be aware of potential required cooling-off periods for decreasing limits. It's an excellent initiative for reinforcing discipline and preserving your financial wellbeing.

Loss Limits

Loss limits allow you to cap the amount of money you can lose within a certain period. Setting a strict loss cap can prevent chasing losses, ensuring you stay within a budget you’re comfortable with. This tool offers a structured approach to managing risk, helping to neutralise potential stressors associated with overextending financially.

Time Limits

Time limits remind you about the duration of your gaming session. By setting these preferences, you can be alerted when you’ve been playing for longer than you planned, facilitating breaks and helping maintain a healthy balance between gaming and life. Taking regular breaks can also improve your focus and overall enjoyment of the game.

Reality Checks

Reality checks send regular reminders of how long you’ve been playing, alongside your win/loss status during the session. They pause your game to let you take stock of your gameplay, giving you the opportunity to decide whether to continue or call it a day. This tool supports a reflective approach, providing a chance to take a mindful pause and reassess your gaming decisions.

Self-Exclusion

If you feel you need a significant break from gambling, self-exclusion options are available. You can choose to lock yourself out of your account temporarily or permanently. During this period, you will not be able to access your account or make any transactions. This is a powerful tool for taking a step back to focus on other life priorities without the temptation of gaming.

These tools are part of our ongoing commitment to promote responsible gaming and to ensure that your time with Space77 remains enjoyable and within your control.

Recognising Problem Gambling Signs

It’s important to be aware of the signs of problem gambling, whether for yourself or someone around you. Seeking early help can prevent further issues. Problem gambling can manifest in various forms, often subtly at first. Look for these signs that may suggest gambling is getting out of hand:

• Gambling to escape problems or negative emotions
• Chasing losses to try to get back money lost
• Borrowing money or selling items to gamble
• Neglecting responsibilities at home, work, or education due to gambling
• Keeping the extent of your gambling a secret from loved ones

Recognising these signs early can help in seeking the necessary support before gambling becomes a bigger issue. Awareness and early intervention are crucial in preventing gambling-related harm, enabling individuals to regain control and seek healthier alternatives to cope with challenges.

Getting Help Locally

If you or someone you know is struggling with gambling, it’s crucial to seek help. Various local resources offer support specifically tailored to assist individuals with gambling-related concerns.
