Responsible Gambling

At Rizzio, we believe gambling should always be a form of entertainment — enjoyable, controlled and within your means. This page sets out our commitment to responsible gambling, the tools we provide to help you stay in control, and the support organisations available to anyone who needs help in Australia.

Casino Play Is Not a Way to Make Money

Every casino game is designed with a mathematical edge in favour of the house. This means that over time, the platform will always return less than it takes in across all players combined. Individual wins happen — but no strategy, system or pattern of play can overcome the built-in odds. Casino games are games of chance, and every outcome is random and independent.

You should only gamble with money you can afford to lose. Never gamble with rent, savings, borrowed funds or money set aside for essential expenses. If you are playing to recover a loss or to make up a financial shortfall, please stop and speak to someone.

If it is no longer fun — it is no longer a game.

Tools to Help You Stay in Control

We provide a range of practical tools that every registered player can access at any time through their account settings or by contacting our support team.

Deposit Limits

Set daily, weekly or monthly limits on how much you can deposit into your account. Once set, limits can be lowered immediately but increases require a cooling-off period.

Session Time Reminders

Set reminders that notify you how long you have been playing. Regular breaks help you stay in control and keep gambling in perspective.

Reality Checks

Periodic pop-up notifications during play that show how long your session has been and how much you have spent. A simple tool that keeps you informed in the moment.

Self-Exclusion

If you feel your gambling is out of control, you can self-exclude for a period of your choice. During exclusion, you will not be able to log in or access the Platform.

Account Closure

You can close your account at any time. Contact our support team and we will process your closure request immediately, returning any available balance to your verified payment method.

BetStop National Register

Register with BetStop to self-exclude from all licensed online wagering services in Australia in one step. Rizzio supports and respects BetStop registrations.

To activate any of these tools, go to your account settings or contact our support team at [email protected]. We respond 24/7 and will action all responsible gambling requests immediately.

Recognising Problem Gambling

Problem gambling can develop gradually. It is not always obvious in the moment. These are some of the signs that gambling may be becoming harmful for you or someone you know.

Gambling for longer than you planned, session after session
Spending more than your budget on a regular basis
Chasing losses — playing more to try to win back what you have lost
Hiding your gambling from family, friends or partners
Borrowing money or selling possessions to fund gambling
Feeling anxious, guilty, irritable or low after a session
Thinking about gambling when you are not playing
Gambling affecting your work, relationships or daily routine
Using gambling as a way to escape stress or difficult emotions
Struggling to stop even when you want to

Recognising these signs early makes a real difference. Reaching out for support is not a weakness — it is the most practical step you can take. Support services in Australia are free, confidential and available right now.

Guidelines for Safer Play

These simple habits help keep gambling enjoyable and prevent it from becoming a problem.

Set a budget before you start

Decide what you can afford to spend before your session begins. Treat it as your entertainment budget for the day — not a target to reach.

Only use money you can afford to lose

Never play with money needed for rent, bills, food or any other essential expense. If losing your stake would cause you real financial stress, it is too much.

Set a time limit

Decide how long you want to play before you start. When your time is up, stop — regardless of whether you are ahead or behind.

Never chase losses

Losing is a normal part of gambling. The urge to play more to win back losses is one of the most dangerous patterns in problem gambling. If your budget is spent, walk away.

Take regular breaks

Step away from the screen at regular intervals. Breaks help you stay aware of how much time and money you have spent and reset your perspective.

Do not play under the influence

Avoid gambling when you are under the influence of alcohol or substances, or when you are feeling stressed, anxious, upset or emotionally low.

Keep gambling separate from finances

Do not use your casino account balance as a savings account. Withdraw winnings regularly and keep gambling money clearly separate from everyday finances.

Talk to someone early

If gambling is starting to feel compulsive or causing stress, speak to someone as soon as possible. Early support is far more effective than waiting until things are out of control.
