Responsible Gaming Policy

Introduction

SpinsUp Casino is committed to providing gambling services in a manner that supports safer play, protects vulnerable persons, and promotes informed decision-making. This Responsible Gaming Policy for spinsup-casino.live explains the measures available to customers, the standards expected from account holders, and the steps that may be taken when gambling-related harm is identified.

Gambling should only ever be treated as a form of entertainment. It is not a reliable way to make money, recover losses, solve financial difficulties, or replace employment income. Outcomes in casino games are based on chance and, over time, losses are a normal and expected part of gambling activity. For that reason, SpinsUp Casino encourages all customers to set boundaries before they play and to review their gambling behaviour regularly.

This policy is written for users in Australia and should be read together with the website’s Terms and Conditions, Privacy Policy, and any account verification requirements that apply from time to time. Where local law, licence obligations, payment controls, anti-money laundering procedures, or consumer protection rules require additional restrictions, SpinsUp Casino may apply those measures without prior notice in order to protect customers and the platform.

Our Responsible Gaming Principles

SpinsUp Casino applies the following responsible gaming principles across spinsup-casino.live:

• gambling is offered as entertainment only;
• customers must be given practical tools to manage their activity;
• vulnerable users should be identified and protected where reasonably possible;
• minors must not be allowed to gamble;
• intervention measures must be clear, proportionate, and enforceable;
• requests for support or exclusion must be handled seriously and without unnecessary barriers;
• account controls should work in a way that reduces impulsive decision-making.

Customers are also expected to take personal responsibility for their gambling by monitoring time and spend, keeping account details secure, and using the control tools made available through the website.

Gambling Risks and Warning Signs

Gambling can become harmful when it stops being a controlled leisure activity and begins affecting finances, work, education, relationships, or emotional wellbeing. A customer may be at increased risk if they:

• gamble to escape stress, anxiety, loneliness, or depression;
• try to win back previous losses by increasing stakes or frequency of play;
• spend more than they can reasonably afford to lose;
• borrow money or sell assets to continue gambling;
• hide gambling activity from family or friends;
• neglect work, study, parenting, or other responsibilities due to gambling;
• feel unable to stop, even after deciding to do so.

If any of these indicators apply, SpinsUp Casino strongly recommends immediate use of the limit and exclusion tools described below, and contact with an independent support service.

Personal Limits Feature

SpinsUp Casino provides a Personal Limits section designed to help customers control their gambling behaviour in a structured and enforceable manner. These tools are intended to support pre-commitment, reduce impulsive spending, and create a pause between intention and action.

Where available within the account area, customers should use the Personal Limits settings before gambling begins, or as soon as they feel their activity may be becoming difficult to control. Limits operate on the account level and may affect some or all real-money activity, depending on the type of restriction selected.

How limit changes are applied

To support safer gambling outcomes, amendments to limits do not all take effect in the same way:

• a decrease in a limit is applied immediately or as soon as technically possible, because it reduces risk;
• an increase in a limit is not applied immediately and is subject to a delay or cooling period, so that the customer has time to reconsider the change;
• removal of a limit is treated in the same way as an increase and is not actioned instantly;
• where a self-exclusion or cooling-off restriction is active, it cannot be cancelled early simply because the customer changes their mind.

This distinction is important. Safer gambling controls are effective only when they prevent impulsive reversals. Any increase requested after a period of restriction may also be reviewed in light of account behaviour, responsible gaming concerns, verification status, or legal obligations.

Types of Limits

The following limit categories may be made available through the Personal Limits section or may be applied by request through customer support.

Deposit limits

A deposit limit restricts the maximum amount of money that can be deposited into the account over a chosen period.

• Daily deposit limit: caps total deposits within a 24-hour period.
• Weekly deposit limit: caps total deposits within a rolling or fixed 7-day period.
• Monthly deposit limit: caps total deposits within a calendar or rolling monthly period.
• Once the limit is reached, further deposits will be blocked until the relevant period resets.
• Lowering a deposit limit takes effect immediately.
• Increasing or removing a deposit limit takes effect only after a delay period set by SpinsUp Casino’s responsible gaming controls.

Deposit limits are one of the most effective budgeting tools and should be based on discretionary entertainment spending only.

Loss limits

A loss limit restricts the net amount a customer can lose over a selected period.

• The limit is generally calculated by reference to deposits, withdrawals, stakes, and winnings over the relevant period.
• When the maximum permitted loss is reached, further eligible gambling activity may be blocked until the period resets.
• Decreases apply immediately.
• Increases are delayed and may be subject to review.

Loss limits can help customers avoid escalating play after a run of unsuccessful outcomes.

Wager limits

A wager limit restricts the total amount that can be staked over a selected timeframe, regardless of wins or losses.

• It controls turnover rather than net outcome.
• It may apply daily, weekly, or monthly.
• Once the wager threshold is reached, additional betting or gaming activity may be suspended until reset.
• Lower settings take effect immediately.
• Higher settings or removals are delayed.

Wager limits are useful for customers who want to manage intensity and session volume, even when they are not losing overall.

Cooling-off limits

A cooling-off period is a short-term restriction that temporarily disables access to gambling activity for a defined period.

• It is intended for customers who need an immediate break.
• During the cooling-off period, deposits and gambling activity should be blocked.
• The account may remain inaccessible for gaming until the selected period has expired.
• A cooling-off period cannot usually be reversed early.
• At the end of the period, access may be restored automatically or following internal review.

Cooling-off can be appropriate where a customer feels their gambling is becoming difficult to control but does not yet wish to self-exclude for a longer period.

Self-exclusion limits

Self-exclusion is a stronger protective measure for customers who need to stop gambling for an extended period.

• Self-exclusion blocks access to real-money gambling for the selected exclusion period.
• Deposits, wagering, and promotional participation may be disabled.
• Marketing communications may also be restricted where operationally feasible and subject to system processing times.
• The exclusion cannot be cancelled before it ends.
• When the self-exclusion period expires, account reactivation is not automatic in every case and may require review.

Self-exclusion should be chosen where gambling is causing harm or a meaningful risk of harm.

Self-Exclusion by Request

If a customer cannot access the self-exclusion function through the account, or wishes to request a manual block, they must contact [email protected] using the email address registered to the account where possible.

The request should clearly state that the customer wants to self-exclude, and should include sufficient identifying details to allow the account to be located and protected without delay. To avoid misunderstanding, the customer should specify whether they are requesting:

• a temporary cooling-off period; or
• a formal self-exclusion.

On receiving a clear exclusion request, SpinsUp Casino will take reasonable steps to process the restriction as quickly as possible, subject to verification, system availability, and any checks needed to ensure the request is being actioned on the correct account.

Important customer obligations during an exclusion request

Once a customer has submitted an exclusion request, they must stop using the account immediately and must not attempt to deposit, gamble, open a duplicate account, or circumvent the restriction in any way. Creating additional accounts after requesting exclusion may delay protective action and may lead to closure of those accounts.

Treatment of remaining funds

Where an account contains a remaining balance at the time of cooling-off or self-exclusion, SpinsUp Casino may deal with those funds in accordance with its Terms and Conditions, verification obligations, anti-money laundering controls, and payment processing rules. This may include:

• returning eligible cleared balances to the customer, subject to account verification;
• withholding withdrawal processing until required identity or source checks are completed;
• cancelling or restricting bonus-related balances where the promotional terms allow;
• suspending account access while the exclusion and compliance review are finalised.

If the customer has questions about a remaining balance during a self-exclusion process, they should contact [email protected]. SpinsUp Casino will not reactivate gambling access merely to allow gameplay of residual funds.

Operator Intervention and Account Restrictions

SpinsUp Casino reserves the right to take protective action where account behaviour indicates possible gambling-related harm, fraud risk, identity concerns, or regulatory non-compliance. Such action may include:

• setting or tightening responsible gaming limits;
• refusing a request to increase a limit;
• issuing a warning or safer gambling message;
• temporarily restricting deposits or wagering;
• requiring additional verification checks;
• applying a cooling-off period;
• closing or self-excluding an account where necessary.

Examples of conduct that may trigger review include unusually intense play, repeated requests to reverse limits, attempts to bypass account controls, statements of distress, or communications suggesting that gambling is being used to address financial hardship.

These actions are taken to reduce risk and do not create a right for the customer to continue gambling pending review.

Account Monitoring and Personal Responsibility

While SpinsUp Casino provides tools and monitoring measures, no responsible gaming system can eliminate all risk. Customers should also take practical steps to protect themselves, including:

• deciding in advance how much money and time they can afford to spend;
• not gambling while upset, intoxicated, or under the influence of drugs;
• not treating gambling as an investment strategy;
• taking frequent breaks from play;
• not chasing losses;
• keeping login details private;
• checking transaction history regularly.

A good rule is to gamble only with money that has been set aside for leisure and that will not affect rent, mortgage payments, bills, food, education, or other essential expenses.

Protection of Minors

SpinsUp Casino does not permit gambling by persons under the age of 18. This is a strict requirement. Any person under 18 is prohibited from opening an account, depositing funds, or participating in any gambling activity on spinsup-casino.live.

Age verification and KYC controls

To support this requirement, SpinsUp Casino may conduct age and identity checks at registration, before the first withdrawal, at the point of deposit, or at any other time considered necessary. These checks form part of know your customer (KYC) and broader compliance obligations.

Customers may be asked to provide documents or information to confirm:

• full name;
• date of birth;
• residential address;
• ownership of payment method;
• source of funds or source of wealth, where required.

If adequate verification is not provided, the account may be suspended or closed, and withdrawals may be delayed until legal and compliance obligations are satisfied.

Parental responsibility and device security

Parents and guardians should take active steps to prevent underage access to gambling websites. This includes keeping devices secure, not sharing account credentials, and using internet filtering or parental control software where minors may access shared devices.

Examples of filtering tools include:

• Net Nanny
• CyberPatrol

No software solution is perfect, but such tools can assist in reducing the risk of underage access when used properly.

Financial Safety and Safer Gambling Practices

Customers should review whether gambling spend remains proportionate to their income and personal circumstances. Warning signs of financial risk include using credit irresponsibly, missing bill payments, borrowing to gamble, or depending on winnings to meet ordinary expenses.

SpinsUp Casino encourages customers to stop gambling immediately and seek support if they experience any of these issues. A customer who is in financial distress should not continue to gamble in the hope of improvement. Gambling outcomes are uncertain and may worsen existing hardship.

External Help and Support

Independent support is available for anyone concerned about their own gambling or that of another person. SpinsUp Casino encourages early contact with specialist support services, particularly where gambling is affecting mental health, family relationships, work, or finances.

The following organisations provide information, counselling, or peer support:

• Gamblers Anonymous

  • Website: https://www.gamblersanonymous.org
  • Peer support fellowship for people seeking to stop gambling.

• GamCare

  • Website: https://www.gamcare.org.uk
  • Information, advice, and support relating to problem gambling.

• Gambling Therapy

  • Website: https://www.gamblingtherapy.org
  • International online support, practical advice, and multilingual resources.

For Australian users seeking locally relevant support, additional public health and community resources may also be available through state and territory health systems and gambling harm services.

Legal and Regulatory Context for Australia

Customers in Australia should be aware that gambling regulation may involve Commonwealth law, state or territory consumer protection expectations, anti-money laundering obligations, and age-restriction requirements. Responsible gambling controls may therefore be applied not only as a customer service measure but also as part of broader legal compliance.

SpinsUp Casino may refuse service, suspend account functionality, or request further information where reasonably necessary to:

• verify age and identity;
• investigate suspicious or harmful activity;
• comply with financial crime controls;
• enforce self-exclusion and safer gambling settings;
• protect customers from foreseeable harm.

Nothing in this policy should be interpreted as limiting any stronger protections that may apply under law, licence conditions, or internal risk controls.

Contact for Responsible Gaming Assistance

If a customer wishes to request a cooling-off period, self-exclusion, or other responsible gaming restriction, they should contact:

• [email protected]

To avoid delay, the email should be sent from the registered account email address where possible and should clearly describe the requested restriction.

Policy Review and Updates

SpinsUp Casino may review and amend this Responsible Gaming Policy from time to time to reflect legal developments, operational improvements, changes in responsible gambling standards, or updates to account control features. The latest version published on spinsup-casino.live will apply from the date of publication unless a later date is stated.

Final Statement

SpinsUp Casino supports safer gambling and expects all customers to use gambling services responsibly. If gambling is no longer enjoyable, is causing stress, or is affecting daily life, the right step is to stop, apply an account restriction, and seek independent support as early as possible. Responsible gaming is a core protection measure, not an optional extra, and SpinsUp Casino will take appropriate action where customer welfare requires it.
