Responsible Gambling Policy
At Online BlackJack Australia, we promote a safe and responsible gambling environment. While blackjack is a fun and entertaining game, it’s important to ensure that play remains within healthy boundaries. This policy outlines our commitment to player wellbeing and the resources available to help those in need.
Why Responsible Gaming Is Important
Gambling should always be a form of entertainment — not a financial solution or coping mechanism. Most players enjoy blackjack responsibly, but some may develop behaviours that put their wellbeing at risk. Our aim is to encourage informed, balanced decisions so that gambling stays enjoyable and stress-free.
Signs of Gambling Problems
Recognising early warning signs of problem gambling is critical. You or someone you know may be at risk if you notice:
-
Spending more time or money gambling than planned
-
Difficulty stopping or reducing gambling
-
Using gambling as an escape from stress or problems
-
Chasing losses to recover money
-
Hiding gambling habits from family or friends
-
Neglecting responsibilities at work or home due to gambling
If these signs sound familiar, it may be time to take action.
Safe Gambling Recommendations
To help maintain control while gambling online, follow these practical tips:
-
Set a clear budget before playing and stick to it
-
Take regular breaks during gaming sessions
-
Avoid gambling when feeling emotional or under stress
-
Never gamble under the influence of alcohol or drugs
-
Don’t try to win back losses — this often leads to bigger problems
-
Monitor how much time and money you spend each session
Responsible gambling starts with self-awareness and healthy limits.
Self-Exclusion and Limits
If you feel that gambling is affecting your wellbeing, you can take steps to reduce risk, such as:
-
Setting deposit limits to cap how much you can spend
-
Setting time limits for how long you can play
-
Activating self-exclusion, which blocks access to the site for a chosen period
These tools are designed to support players in taking control of their gambling behaviour and provide space to reset when needed.
Aid Organisations and Support
Help is available for those struggling with gambling-related issues. Australia offers confidential support through national and state-based services, including:
-
Gambling counselling services
-
24/7 telephone support
-
Online chat assistance
-

Protection of Minors
We are committed to ensuring that gambling is only accessible to adults aged 18 and over. To help protect minors:
-
Age verification is required for all users
-
Accounts for individuals under 18 are strictly prohibited
-
We recommend the use of parental control software to block gambling content
Parents and guardians play a key role in monitoring and managing online access to ensure a safe environment for young people.
