Responsible Gaming

Gambling at Spinrise is intended solely for entertainment purposes and should never be viewed as a source of income or a financial solution. Responsible gaming is a core value at Spinrise, and we are committed to providing a safe environment for all our players. By promoting responsible gambling practices, we aim to ensure that your gaming experience is enjoyable, social, and in line with personal values.

Self-Control Tools

Spinrise offers a range of responsible gambling tools designed to help you maintain control over your gaming activities. These tools include:

• Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit within a specified period. This helps you manage your budget effectively.
• Loss Limits: Set a cap on the amount you can lose during a specific time frame, encouraging mindful play.
• Wagering Limits: Control how much you can wager on games, including online pokies, to keep your gaming within a comfortable range.
• Session Time Limits: Restrict the amount of time you spend playing to promote breaks and healthy gaming habits.
• Cooling-off Periods: Temporarily suspend your account to take a break from gaming. This option allows you to step away and reflect on your gaming behavior.
• Self-Exclusion Options: You can choose to exclude yourself from the platform for a set period or indefinitely. This is a crucial tool for those who feel they need a more extended break from gambling.

These tools are readily accessible within your account settings, allowing you to customize your gaming experience to suit your needs.

Self-Assessment

Recognizing the early signs of problematic gambling behavior is essential for maintaining a healthy relationship with gaming. Consider the following reflective questions to assess your gambling habits:

1. Do you often gamble to escape from stress or negative emotions?
2. Have you ever felt the need to gamble with increasing amounts of money?
3. Do you find yourself chasing losses, hoping to win back money lost?
4. Are you neglecting responsibilities or relationships due to your gambling?
5. Have you experienced feelings of guilt or anxiety related to your gambling activities?
6. Do you often lie about your gambling to others?
7. Have you ever borrowed money to gamble or pay off gambling debts?

If you answer “yes” to any of these questions, it may be an indication that you should seek support or take action to manage your gambling behavior.

Protection of Minors

Spinrise is dedicated to preventing underage access to our platform. We implement stringent safeguards, including:

• Age Verification: All players must verify their age before creating an account. We require valid identification to confirm that users are of legal gambling age.
• KYC Checks: Know Your Customer (KYC) procedures are in place to ensure all players meet the legal age requirements and to promote responsible gaming practices.

These measures are designed to protect minors and ensure that gaming remains a responsible and age-appropriate activity.

External Help

If you or someone you know is struggling with gambling-related issues, it’s essential to seek professional support. Spinrise encourages players to reach out to organizations that specialize in gambling support, including:

• GamCare: Offers advice, support, and information for anyone affected by problem gambling.
• BeGambleAware: Provides resources and support for individuals and families impacted by gambling.
• Local Support Services: Various state-based organizations in Australia offer assistance and counseling for gambling-related issues.

These resources provide confidential and non-judgmental support for those in need.

Early Warning Signs of Problematic Gambling Behavior

Recognizing the early warning signs of problematic gambling behavior can help prevent more serious issues. Look out for:

• Increased frequency and duration of gaming sessions.
• Neglecting personal, professional, or financial responsibilities.
• Using gambling as a way to cope with stress or emotions.
• Experiencing withdrawal symptoms when not gambling, such as irritability or anxiety.
• Feeling compelled to gamble more to achieve the same level of enjoyment.

If you notice these signs in yourself or someone else, it is crucial to take action promptly.

Taking Immediate Action

1. Utilize self-control tools available on your account.
2. Consider taking a cooling-off period to reflect on your gaming habits.
3. Seek support from external organizations or talk about your experiences with a trusted friend or family member.
4. Access professional help if needed, as early intervention can make a significant difference.
