Our Commitment to Responsible Gaming at Level Up Casino
At Level Up Casino, entertainment always comes first — and entertainment only stays enjoyable when it remains under control. The Level Up Casino responsible gambling framework has been built to ensure every Australian player can enjoy our catalogue of 4,000+ games in a safe, transparent and supportive environment. Operated by a company registered in Curaçao and licensed by the Government of Curaçao, Level Up Casino treats player protection as a core obligation, not an afterthought. This page explains how responsible gaming works on our platform, how to recognise the warning signs of problem gambling, and where to find professional gambling help in Australia and abroad.
Gambling should never be viewed as a way to earn money, escape stress or solve financial difficulties. It is a form of paid entertainment with a built-in house edge. When you gamble responsibly, you set a budget, stick to your limits and walk away when the fun stops. Level Up Casino gives you the practical tools to do exactly that.
Understanding Problem Gambling
Gambling addiction rarely appears overnight. It develops gradually, and the earlier the warning signs are recognised, the easier it is to regain gambling control. The Level Up Casino team encourages every player to review the indicators below honestly and regularly.
Financial Warning Signs
- Spending more on gambling than you can comfortably afford to lose
- Borrowing money, selling possessions or dipping into savings to fund play
- Chasing losses in the hope of "winning it all back"
- Falling behind on rent, bills or everyday essentials because of gambling
- Hiding bank statements or lying about how much you spend
Emotional Warning Signs
- Feeling anxious, irritable or restless when you are not gambling
- Gambling to escape sadness, loneliness, boredom or stress
- Experiencing guilt or shame after a session
- Constantly thinking about your next deposit or bet
Social Warning Signs
- Neglecting family, friends, work or study commitments
- Lying to loved ones about time or money spent gambling
- Losing interest in hobbies you once enjoyed
- Arguments at home caused by gambling behaviour
Self-Assessment: Ask Yourself These Questions
Answer the following honestly. If you answer "yes" to two or more, we strongly recommend using the safer gambling tools described below or contacting a support service.
- Do I gamble with money I cannot afford to lose?
- Have I ever tried to win back losses with bigger bets?
- Do I hide my gambling from people close to me?
- Has gambling ever affected my work, studies or relationships?
- Do I feel stressed, guilty or anxious about my gambling?
- Have I borrowed money or sold anything to fund my play?
- Do I gamble longer than I originally planned?
- Have others expressed concern about my gambling?
Level Up Casino Safer Gambling Tools
Every registered player has free access to a full suite of Level Up Casino safer gambling tools directly from the account dashboard. You can also contact our 24/7 live chat or email [email protected] to have any limit applied on your behalf. Once a limit is set, any request to loosen it is subject to a mandatory waiting period, while requests to tighten a limit take effect immediately.
Deposit, Bet and Loss Limits
Deposit limits cap the amount you can transfer to your account over a chosen period, while bet limits and loss limits restrict how much you can stake or lose. Setting these before you play is the single most effective form of gambling control.
| Tool | Available Periods | What It Does |
|---|---|---|
| Deposit limits | Daily / Weekly / Monthly | Caps the total amount you can deposit |
| Bet limits | Daily / Weekly / Monthly | Restricts total stakes across all games |
| Loss limits | Daily / Weekly / Monthly | Stops play once net losses reach your cap |
| Session limits | Per session | Logs you out after a set playing time |
| Cooling-off period | 24h, 48h, 7 days, 30 days | Temporarily blocks access to your account |
| Self-exclusion | 6 months, 1 year, 5 years, permanent | Closes your account for the chosen term |
Session Limits and Reality Checks
Session limits help you keep track of time. Long, uninterrupted sessions are strongly associated with impulsive decisions, so Level Up Casino lets you define a maximum playing time after which you are automatically logged out. On-screen reminders also show how long you have been playing and your net position, keeping safe gambling front of mind.
Cooling-Off Period
If you feel you need a short break, a cooling-off period of 24 hours, 48 hours, 7 days or 30 days will lock your account temporarily. During this time you cannot deposit or play, and promotional emails are paused. Access is restored automatically once the period expires — no questions asked.
Self-Exclusion
Self-exclusion is a stronger measure for players who need extended distance from gambling. Level Up Casino offers exclusion terms of 6 months, 1 year, 5 years or permanent closure. Once activated:
- Your account is locked and cannot be reopened during the exclusion term
- All marketing communications stop
- Attempts to open duplicate accounts are blocked during verification checks
- Remaining withdrawable funds are returned to you
To activate self-exclusion, use your account settings or email [email protected] with the subject "Self-Exclusion".
Activity Monitoring
Beyond player-driven tools, Level Up Casino monitors account activity for patterns linked to problem gambling — sudden spikes in deposits, extended late-night sessions or repeated cancelled withdrawals. Where concerning behaviour appears, our team may reach out with information about responsible gambling options or apply protective measures proactively.
The 8 Golden Rules of Safe Gambling
Follow these principles every time you log in to play responsibly at Level Up Casino:
- Treat gambling as entertainment, never as a source of income.
- Set a budget before you play and never exceed it.
- Never chase losses — accept them as the cost of entertainment.
- Set time limits and take regular breaks away from the screen.
- Never gamble with borrowed money or funds meant for essentials.
- Avoid gambling when upset, tired or intoxicated — emotions cloud judgement.
- Balance gambling with other activities such as sport, family and hobbies.
- Know when to stop — and use the tools on this page if stopping feels hard.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I set deposit limits at Level Up Casino?
Log in, open your account settings and choose the Responsible Gambling section. Select a daily, weekly or monthly cap and confirm. Level Up Casino deposit limits apply immediately, and lowering a limit always takes effect straight away.
What is the difference between a cooling-off period and self-exclusion?
A cooling-off period is a short break of 24 hours to 30 days after which your account reopens automatically. Level Up Casino self-exclusion is a longer-term measure — from 6 months to permanent — designed for players who need to stop gambling entirely.
Can I cancel my self-exclusion early?
No. Once activated, self-exclusion cannot be reversed before the chosen term ends. This is a deliberate part of our player protection policy and applies to every account without exception.
Is professional gambling help free in Australia?
Yes. Gambling Help Online (1800 858 858) and Lifeline (13 11 14) provide free, confidential support 24/7. Counselling through state-based services is also free for anyone affected by problem gambling, including family members.
Does Level Up Casino monitor my play?
Yes. As part of Level Up Casino player protection, we monitor activity for signs of harmful patterns and may contact you with information about limits, breaks or support services if concerns arise.

Gambling is meant to be fun — a night at the pokies, a hand of blackjack, a spin on a new release. Keep it that way. Set your deposit limits before your first session, respect your session limits, and take a break whenever the game stops feeling like a game. Level Up Casino is committed to responsible gambling in everything we do, but the most powerful tool of all is your own decision to gamble responsibly. If you need support, help is only a phone call away: Gambling Help Online — 1800 858 858, free, confidential, 24/7.
