Responsible Gaming

Yabby Casino believes gambling should be an enjoyable form of entertainment, not a way to make money or manage financial difficulties. Responsible gaming means understanding the risks, setting personal boundaries and taking action whenever gambling stops feeling fun or manageable. This page provides general information to help Australian players make informed decisions and keep gambling within safe limits.

Yabby Casino operates under licence ALSI-192407024-FI2 issued by the Offshore Finance Authority of the State of Anjouan under The Computer Gaming Licensing Act 007 of 2005.

Our approach to safer gambling

Gambling involves risk, and losses can occur. No casino game is guaranteed to produce a win, and past results do not predict future outcomes. Random games are designed so that outcomes cannot be reliably controlled or used to create a consistent income. You should only gamble with money you can afford to lose after essential living costs and other financial commitments have been covered.

Yabby Casino encourages players to treat gambling as entertainment. Before you begin, decide how much time and money you are comfortable spending. Once you reach either limit, stop playing. Do not increase your spend to recover losses, borrow money to gamble, or use gambling as a response to stress, boredom, loneliness or financial pressure.

Players must meet the legal age requirement that applies to them and use gambling services only where permitted by applicable law. You are responsible for following the rules that apply in your location. Accounts should be used only by the registered account holder, and account details must be kept secure. If you believe another person has accessed your account, stop using it and contact the relevant support channel through the website.

Simple habits for safer play

Set a budget before you play and do not exceed it.
Set a time limit and take regular breaks away from the screen.
Keep gambling separate from essential household spending.
Avoid gambling when you are upset, tired, intoxicated or under pressure.
Do not chase losses or raise your stakes because you have lost.
Never borrow money, sell possessions or use credit to continue gambling.
Remember that a win is not guaranteed and a loss does not need to be recovered.
Keep a record of your deposits, withdrawals, playing time and overall spending if this helps you stay aware.
Discuss concerns early with someone you trust or a qualified support service.

Tools to help you stay in control

Safer gambling tools can help you make decisions before emotions or in-play activity influence your choices. Depending on the services available on your account and in your location, these tools may include deposit limits, wagering or spending limits, session reminders, time-outs and account closure or self-exclusion options. Some controls may take effect immediately, while others may be subject to verification, processing or applicable requirements.

Set limits before you play

A limit is most useful when it is chosen in advance and treated as a firm boundary. Consider setting a daily, weekly or monthly amount that reflects your entertainment budget. You can also decide how long a session may last and how often you will play. If a limit has been reached, do not try to work around it by opening another account, changing your details or asking another person to play for you.

Take a break when needed

A time-out can provide space to step away from gambling for a chosen period. Use a break if you feel distracted, frustrated, tempted to chase losses or unable to stop when you planned to stop. During a break, remove gambling reminders where possible, avoid gambling content and spend time on activities that support your wellbeing. A break should be viewed as a practical safety measure, not as a punishment.

Use self-exclusion for stronger protection

Self-exclusion is a more formal request to prevent or restrict access to gambling services for a specified period or until further steps are completed. If you decide to self-exclude, do not create another account or attempt to bypass the restriction. You may also wish to ask trusted people for support, block access to gambling websites or applications, and review your banking arrangements. Self-exclusion is an important option for anyone who feels unable to control their gambling.

If you want to apply a limit, time-out, account restriction or self-exclusion, use the responsible gaming or account support options made available through the website. Yabby Casino may need to verify account details to protect you and apply the request correctly. Restrictions may affect access to an account, games, promotions or transactions. The applicable account terms and responsible gaming procedures explain how requests are handled.

Recognising when gambling may be a problem

Problem gambling can affect people in different ways. You do not need to lose a particular amount of money or experience a crisis before asking for help. The earlier you recognise a concern, the easier it may be to take effective action. Consider whether any of the following statements apply to you:

You gamble for longer or spend more than you originally intended.
You think about gambling frequently or find it difficult to concentrate on other responsibilities.
You return to gambling to try to win back money you have lost.
You hide your gambling, deposits, withdrawals or losses from family or friends.
You feel restless, anxious, irritable or low when you try to stop.
You use money intended for rent, bills, food or other essentials.
You borrow money, use credit or sell belongings to fund gambling.
You miss work, study, family commitments or social activities because of gambling.
You argue with people close to you about your gambling.
You gamble to escape personal problems or to change how you feel.
You have tried to cut down or stop but have not been able to do so.
You feel shame, hopelessness or significant distress connected with gambling.

If any of these signs feel familiar, stop gambling and consider applying an account restriction or self-exclusion. Speak openly with someone you trust and seek professional assistance. A counsellor or financial counsellor can help you understand your options without judgement. Support is available through Gambling Help Online and through gambling support services in your Australian state or territory. These services can provide confidential information, counselling and practical guidance for players, partners and family members.

If gambling has contributed to urgent financial, emotional or personal risk, seek immediate help from an appropriate emergency or crisis service in your area. If you feel that you may harm yourself or someone else, stop gambling and contact emergency assistance without delay. Your safety is more important than any account, balance or game.

Protecting your account and getting support

Responsible gaming also includes protecting your account and personal information. Use a strong, unique password and do not share it with anyone. Keep your contact and verification information current, and review account activity regularly. If you notice transactions, logins or changes that you do not recognise, change your password and contact the website's support team through the available account or help channels.

Do not allow another person to use your account, and do not use another person's account. Sharing accounts can make it harder to monitor spending and may prevent responsible gaming controls from working properly. It may also create security, verification and account access issues. If someone else has access to your device, use appropriate device security and sign out after each session.

When family or friends are affected

Problem gambling can affect more than the person who plays. If you are worried about a partner, family member or friend, choose a calm time to talk. Focus on what you have observed and how it affects you, rather than making accusations. Encourage the person to take a break, use available account controls and contact a qualified support service. You can seek advice for yourself even if the other person is not ready to ask for help.

Questions about responsible gaming

For questions about limits, time-outs, self-exclusion or account access, use the responsible gaming information and support options available through Yabby Casino. We may ask questions to understand the request and may require identity or account verification. We may also take steps consistent with our policies and applicable requirements where activity suggests that a player may be at risk.

This page provides general information and is not a substitute for financial, legal, medical or counselling advice. Gambling may not be suitable for everyone. If you are unsure whether gambling is safe for you, the safest option is to stop and seek independent support before playing again.

Decide whether gambling fits within your entertainment budget.
Set a money limit and a time limit before starting.
Stop when either limit is reached.
Use a time-out or self-exclusion if you are finding it difficult to stop.
Ask for support early if gambling is affecting your money, relationships, work, study or wellbeing.
