Ricky Casino

Responsible Gaming Policy

General Introduction

ricky-casinoonline.com is committed to providing a safe, fair, and enjoyable online gaming environment for players in Australia. Gambling should always be viewed as a form of entertainment – not as a way to make money, pay bills, or recover from financial difficulties.

While many players enjoy gambling responsibly, there is a risk that some individuals may lose control over their gambling behaviour. We recognise this risk and are committed to minimizing harm by offering tools, information, and support designed to help you stay in control.

Key principles of our Responsible Gaming approach:

If at any time you feel that gambling is no longer fun, or that it is impacting your finances, relationships, or wellbeing, we strongly encourage you to use the tools described below and to seek help from independent support services.

Personal Limits Feature

To help you manage your gambling activity, ricky-casinoonline.com offers a range of Personal Limits that you can set directly from your player account. These tools allow you to set clear boundaries around how much time and money you spend on the site.

You can access and manage your Personal Limits in the “Personal Limits” or “Responsible Gaming” section of your account. If you need assistance setting or adjusting your limits, you can contact us at [email protected].

Changing Your Limits

To support responsible decision-making, we follow these rules for amending limits:

We strongly encourage you to set conservative limits from the start and to regularly review them to ensure they still reflect your financial circumstances and comfort level.

Types of Limits

Below is a detailed explanation of the various tools available in your Personal Limits section.

1. Deposit Limit

A Deposit Limit allows you to control how much money you can add to your ricky-casinoonline.com account within a chosen timeframe.

You can set:

Once you reach your chosen deposit limit for the relevant period, you will not be able to make further deposits until the period resets (e.g., the following day, week, or month).

Important:

Deposit Limits are a powerful way to ensure that your gambling spending remains within your budget and does not affect your essential expenses such as rent, bills, food, and other living costs.

2. Loss Limit

A Loss Limit controls how much you are allowed to lose over a specified period. It is based on the difference between your total deposits and withdrawals/winnings within the set timeframe.

You can set loss limits on:

Critical clarification:
Loss Limits are calculated on the basis of your initial deposit amounts, not your winnings. This means:

Once your Loss Limit is reached, you will not be able to place further bets until the next applicable period begins.

3. Wager Limit

A Wager Limit (or betting limit) controls how much money you can stake over a certain period, regardless of whether bets are winning or losing.

You can set Wager Limits across:

When you reach your Wager Limit:

This tool is especially useful if you tend to place many smaller bets, as it caps the total amount wagered, not just net losses.

4. Cooling-Off Limit (Short-Term Breaks)

A Cooling-Off Limit (also known as a time-out or short-term self-exclusion) allows you to take a temporary break from gambling without permanently closing your account.

You may choose a cooling-off period of:

During a Cooling-Off period:

We recommend using a Cooling-Off period if you feel your gambling is becoming too frequent or emotionally driven, but you are not yet ready for a longer-term or indefinite exclusion.

5. Self-Exclusion Limit (Formal Account Disabling)

Self-Exclusion is a formal process that blocks your access to ricky-casinoonline.com for a chosen extended period. This option is recommended if you feel your gambling is causing serious harm or is completely out of your control.

You may select a self-exclusion period such as:

During Self-Exclusion:

Self-exclusion is intended to provide a clear and enforceable break from gambling. Once set, a self-exclusion period cannot be easily lifted before it expires, in order to protect you from harm during vulnerable times.

6. Self-Exclusion by Request (Manual Account Blocking)

If you are unable to set a self-exclusion from your account, or if you prefer to speak to someone about your situation, you can request self-exclusion directly from our support team.
