| External registers | Check the register’s own scope and eligibility. A register may not apply to every gambling service. |

Practical Spinago responsible gambling guidance
What safer gambling involves
Safer gambling means treating play as paid entertainment, not a way to earn money. Decide what you can afford beforehand, remember that outcomes are uncertain, and avoid chasing losses or using money needed for essentials.
Spinago lists deposit, wagering, loss and session-time limits, along with cooling-off and self-exclusion options. The site asks users to confirm they are accessing it from outside Australia; this does not mean Australian access is permitted.
Spinago deposit limits and account controls
Spinago deposit limits may help you manage spending. Decide what fits your personal budget before depositing, and keep a clear record of gambling-related funds.
Spinago lists several responsible-gaming controls but does not publish one standard limit for every player. Check the account tools or ask support how to use the controls available to you. Confirm when a change takes effect before relying on it.
- Set a deposit boundary using the options available in your account.
- Consider a loss limit that reflects what you can afford to lose.
- Use a session-time control where available, and stop when it is reached.
- Track money in and out rather than relying on memory.
- Do not raise a limit to try to recover losses.
Spinago safer gambling habits
Spinago safer gambling starts with checking how play affects your time, finances and relationships. Take breaks and avoid gambling when tired or distressed. Do not borrow or use essential funds to continue playing.
Warning signs may include hiding gambling, repeatedly exceeding your budget, neglecting responsibilities or thinking about gambling throughout the day. If you notice these changes, stop and seek support instead of trying to win back losses.
Spinago self exclusion and cooling-off
Spinago self exclusion may provide a firmer barrier when you need time away, while cooling-off offers another listed option. Ask support about the process and which restriction suits your circumstances; support is stated to be available 24/7.
Before requesting exclusion, check how it affects any account balance and outstanding account matters. Follow the restriction and avoid using another person’s account. Consider combining the break with device or financial controls and support from someone you trust.
Where to find help
If gambling is causing distress or financial strain, consider seeking support promptly. Spinago lists Gamblers Anonymous, GamCare and Gambling Therapy, as well as responsible gaming databases. Check that a service is available and suitable in Australia.
A trusted person or health professional may help you plan and stay accountable. If you or someone else faces immediate danger, contact emergency services in your location. Reaching out early is a constructive step.
