The Vic Casino Responsible Gambling
Gambling should always be regarded as a form of entertainment rather than a way to make money. At The Vic Casino we encourage players to enjoy gaming responsibly, to set clear personal limits, and to play within their means.
This responsible gambling page explains the measures available to help you stay in control. It also outlines how to recognise problem gambling and where to obtain confidential support if gambling becomes harmful.
Our Commitment to Responsible Gambling
The Vic Casino is committed to providing a safe and transparent environment for players. We adopt a risk-aware approach to customer interactions and maintain policies designed to reduce harm and promote positive play. Our staff receive training to identify potential signs of problem gambling and to act appropriately when concerns arise.
We combine customer care with practical tools and account controls so that players can tailor their experience. We also monitor account activity to detect patterns that may indicate a need for intervention or further support.
Recognising Problem Gambling
Problem gambling can develop over time and may not be obvious at first. Early recognition increases the likelihood that a person can regain control and avoid serious consequences.
Common warning signs
- Spending more time or money gambling than intended
- Chasing losses or feeling compelled to recoup losses quickly
- Neglecting personal, family or work responsibilities because of gambling
- Borrowing money, selling possessions or using funds needed for essentials
- Feeling anxious, depressed or restless when not gambling
- Hiding gambling activity or being secretive about play
Self-Assessment and Limits
Understanding your own behaviour is an important step toward safer play. The Vic Casino provides self-assessment resources and encourages all players to use account limits that suit their circumstances.
- Deposit limits - set daily, weekly or monthly maximums for money added to your account
- Loss limits - limit the amount you are willing to lose over a specific period
- Reality checks - periodic pop-ups or notifications to remind you how long you have been playing
- Cooling-off periods - short breaks from play to reflect and reset when needed
- Self-exclusion - the option to suspend access to your account for an extended period
Responsible Gaming Tools
The Vic Casino offers a suite of tools designed to help players manage their play proactively. These tools are easy to activate and can be adjusted at any time to reflect changing needs.
- Account limits - immediate controls for deposits, losses and wager sizes
- Session time limits and automatic reality checks to help manage duration of play
- Self-exclusion and extended cooling-off options for players seeking a longer break
- Transaction history and activity statements that let you review play and spending
- Account closure and restrictions on promotional communications to reduce temptation
Support and Assistance
If gambling becomes difficult to control we recommend seeking professional help as soon as possible. Talking to a trained adviser can provide practical coping strategies and emotional support.
You can contact our customer care team at [email protected] for assistance with account controls or to discuss safe-play options.
For independent confidential support consider the following resources:
The National Gambling Helpline is also available on 0808 8020 133. This free, confidential service operates 24 hours a day for anyone affected by gambling.
These organisations are independent external support services and not partners or services operated by The Vic Casino. We encourage players and their families to use these resources whenever additional help is needed.
Underage Gambling
Only individuals aged +18 or older may use the website. The Vic Casino enforces age verification checks and will take measures to close accounts and return funds where lawful if an underage account is discovered.
Any attempt to register or play while under the minimum age is strictly prohibited and will result in account suspension and potential reporting in line with applicable procedures.
Parental Controls
Parents and guardians have an important role in preventing underage gambling. We recommend a combination of device-level controls, family safeguards and open discussion to reduce risk.
- Use parental control software on devices to restrict access to gambling sites and apps
- Apply content filters at router or network level to block gambling domains
- Discuss online risks with children and explain why gambling is for adults only
- Keep payment methods secure and avoid storing card details on shared devices
Tips for Staying in Control
Practical steps can make a significant difference in maintaining healthy play habits. The following advice is designed to be simple and actionable.
- Only gamble with money you can afford to lose - treat it as entertainment expenditure
- Set deposit and loss limits before you start playing and stick to them
- Use reality checks and session timers to avoid extended play
- Do not chase losses - accept outcomes and stop if you feel pressured to continue
- Avoid gambling when upset, tired or under the influence of alcohol or drugs
- Keep a record of time and money spent to make informed decisions about play
- Take regular breaks and consider cooling-off periods if behaviour changes
- Seek advice from friends, family or an independent adviser if you are concerned
