Responsible Gaming

Responsible gaming at Spinanga on the spinanga-aussie.com website is based on the principle that gambling must remain a form of entertainment, not a way to solve financial or personal problems. Our goal is to help you make informed, conscious decisions about when, how, and how much you play, and to ensure that you clearly understand the risks associated with online gambling. Spinanga provides tools, information, and access to independent support services so that you can manage your activity safely. If you feel that gambling is starting to affect your wellbeing, our support team is available to discuss options such as limits, breaks, and self-exclusion, and to direct you to professional help.

Risk Awareness

Gambling carries an inherent financial and psychological risk, and a small proportion of players may develop harmful or addictive behaviour. Being aware of early warning signs can help you act before issues escalate.

Signs of Potential Gambling Harm

• Increased frequency and stakes: You are betting more often, increasing wager sizes, or chasing losses to "win back" money.
• Preoccupation with gambling: You think about the casino or your bets when you should be focusing on work, studies, family, or rest.
• Loss of control: You find it hard to stop playing once you start, even after setting a time or money limit.
• Financial pressure: You borrow money, use funds needed for bills or essentials, or hide gambling expenses.
• Emotional changes: You feel anxiety, irritability, guilt, or depression linked to wins, losses, or the urge to play.
• Impact on relationships: You argue with family or friends about your gambling or conceal how much you are playing.
• Neglect of responsibilities: You miss work, studies, or social commitments because of gambling.

Self-Assessment Check

Consider the following statements. Answer "yes" or "no" to each:

• Do you often gamble longer than you planned?
• Have you tried to cut down or stop gambling, but found it difficult?
• Do you gamble with money intended for rent, bills, food, or other essentials?
• Do you feel restless or irritable when you cannot gamble?
• Do you hide your gambling activity or the amount you spend from people close to you?
• Have your gambling debts or losses caused serious worries or conflicts at home?
• Do you believe that a big win will solve your financial problems?

If you answered "yes" to several of these questions, we strongly recommend that you consider using our responsible gaming tools, contact our support at [email protected], and seek help from the specialist organisations listed below.

Limits & Tools

Spinanga provides technical tools on spinanga-aussie.com to help you manage your activity. We strongly recommend setting limits before you begin playing.

Deposit Limits (Daily, Weekly, Monthly)

1. Access your account: Log in to your player account on https://spinanga-aussie.com and open the "Profile" or "My Account" section.
2. Find responsible gaming settings: Navigate to the "Responsible Gaming" or "Limits" area in your account menu.
3. Select deposit limits: Choose "Deposit Limits" and specify:
   • a daily limit (e.g. AUD 50 per day),
   • a weekly limit (e.g. AUD 200 per week),
   • a monthly limit (e.g. AUD 600 per month).
4. Enter the amounts: Type the maximum amounts you are prepared to deposit within each period. Choose conservative amounts that you can afford to lose without affecting essential expenses.
5. Confirm the changes: Save and confirm your limits. You may be asked to re-enter your password or a one-time code.

Lowering limits usually takes effect immediately, while increases may be subject to a cooling-off period, during which you will be required to reconfirm your decision. This is to reduce impulsive changes in your behaviour.

Time Limits and Session Management

• Session timer: In the "Responsible Gaming" section, you can set a maximum session duration (for example, 30, 60, or 120 minutes). When the selected period ends, a notification will appear and you may be automatically logged out or prompted to take a break.
• Reality checks: You may enable on-screen reminders at fixed intervals (such as every 30 minutes) summarising how long you have been playing and your net result for that session.

Short Breaks ("Time-Out")

If you feel that you need a brief pause, but are not ready to self-exclude for a long period, you can request a time-out:

1. Log in to your account and go to "My Account" > "Responsible Gaming" > "Time-Out" or similar.
2. Select the desired duration, such as:
   • 24 hours,
   • 48 hours,
   • 72 hours (3 days).
3. Confirm your choice. Once activated:
   • You will not be able to place bets or make deposits during the time-out.
   • You may be logged out, and automatic logins or app-based access (if any) may be disabled.

Time-out is intended as an early intervention step. If short breaks are not sufficient, please consider longer self-exclusion as described below and contact a specialist support service.

Self-Exclusion

Self-exclusion is a more stringent measure for players who recognise that they are at risk of, or already experiencing, gambling-related harm. It involves blocking your access to your account for a defined period or permanently.

How to Request Self-Exclusion

1. Access the self-exclusion section: After logging in to spinanga-aussie.com, go to "My Account" and select "Responsible Gaming" > "Self-Exclusion". If you cannot access your account, you may request self-exclusion by contacting us at [email protected].
2. Choose the exclusion period: Available options may include:
   • 6 months minimum temporary exclusion,
   • longer fixed terms (e.g. 1 year, 2 years, 5 years),
   • lifetime (permanent) exclusion.
3. Confirm your decision: Carefully read the description of consequences and tick the required checkboxes. You may be asked to confirm that you understand the self-exclusion cannot be lifted before the end of the chosen period.
4. Final confirmation and verification: Submit your request. Our support team may contact you by e-mail using your registered address to confirm identity and avoid unauthorised requests.

Consequences of Self-Exclusion

• You will be unable to log in to your account on spinanga-aussie.com for the duration of the self-exclusion.
• You will not be permitted to make deposits or place any bets.
• Under standard practice, promotional communications and marketing e-mails from Spinanga relating to gambling should be suspended for the exclusion period, as far as technically possible.
• Your remaining balance will be handled in accordance with the applicable terms and conditions and anti-money laundering requirements. In some cases, withdrawals of existing balances may be processed after necessary checks. No new wagers can be placed using those funds.
• Self-exclusion is intended to be binding. Requests to shorten or cancel an active self-exclusion may be rejected or be subject to a mandatory cooling-off period after its expiry.

If you hold multiple accounts under different e-mail addresses, you must inform our support team so that we can take reasonable steps to apply self-exclusion consistently. However, full coverage cannot be guaranteed across all offshore operators, which is why we also recommend using external blocking tools and national exclusion schemes where available.

Help for Family

Gambling-related harm often affects partners, children, relatives, and friends. If you are concerned about someone who uses spinanga-aussie.com or other gambling services, it is important to seek support for yourself as well as for them.

How to Talk to Someone About Their Gambling

• Choose the right moment: Speak when both of you are calm, and the person is not currently gambling or under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
• Use non-judgmental language: Focus on behaviour and consequences ("I'm worried about the bills" or "I feel anxious when...") rather than accusations or labels.
• Listen actively: Allow the person to share how they feel. Acknowledge their emotions, including shame or fear, without minimising them.
• Set clear boundaries: Explain what you can and cannot do, for example, not lending money or covering debts, while still offering emotional support.
• Encourage professional help: Suggest contacting a helpline, counsellor, or GP and offer to help them make the call or attend an appointment.

Support Resources for Families

• Gambling Help Online (Australia) - Provides specific information, self-help tools, and live chat for affected others: www.gamblinghelponline.org.au.
• Gam-Anon - International fellowship offering group meetings and online resources: www.gam-anon.org.
• Online family forums and chats:
  • Gambling Therapy family & friends forums: www.gamblingtherapy.org.
  • Other mental health support communities may have sections dedicated to financial or addiction-related stress.

Recommended Next Steps

• Contact a helpline: Call 1800 858 858 (Australia) or a local support line to discuss your situation anonymously.
• Consult a health professional: A GP, psychologist, or psychotherapist can help assess the severity of the problem and recommend evidence-based treatment options.
• Seek financial counselling: Free financial counselling services in Australia can assist with budgeting, debt negotiation, and planning.
• Plan for safety: If gambling behaviour leads to domestic conflict or family violence, contact emergency services (000 in Australia) or a specialist support line immediately.

While Spinanga cannot intervene directly in personal relationships, we are committed to cooperating with players and, where appropriate, with relevant authorities to minimise harm linked to gambling on spinanga-aussie.com.

Operator's Commitment

Spinanga, operated for this site by Liernin Enterprises Ltd and its associated entities, acknowledges its responsibility to promote safer gambling practices, even as an offshore operator accepting Australian players in a grey-market context. Our internal procedures are designed to identify and reduce reasonably foreseeable risks associated with gambling on spinanga-aussie.com.

Internal Risk-Check Procedures

• Behavioural monitoring: We may analyse account activity patterns, including deposit frequency, bet size variations, session length, and repeated attempts to deposit after declines, in order to detect behaviour that could suggest a heightened risk of harm.
• Automated alerts: Our systems may generate warnings where significant changes in play are observed, such as sudden, large increases in spending or prolonged continuous play without breaks.
• On-site messaging: Where appropriate, we may display tailored messages reminding players of the availability of limits, self-exclusion tools, and external help resources.
• Manual review: Certain cases may be escalated to a designated responsible gaming team member for further assessment, subject to applicable privacy and data protection requirements.

Contact from Support Based on Risk Patterns

In some circumstances, and subject to our privacy policy and applicable laws, our support or responsible gaming staff may initiate contact using the e-mail address registered on your spinanga-aussie.com account when:

• Significant or unusual spikes in deposits, losses, or session length are detected.
• You have repeatedly reversed withdrawal requests or attempted to circumvent existing limits.
• Your previous communications or behaviour indicate concern about loss of control.

Any contact of this nature is intended to:

• Inform you about available responsible gaming tools (limits, time-outs, self-exclusion).
• Encourage you to review your gambling behaviour realistically.
• Provide information about independent counselling and helplines.

Spinanga reserves the right, at its discretion, to apply restrictions to your account (including temporary suspension, mandatory limits, or permanent closure) if we have reasonable grounds to believe that continued activity may result in serious harm or breach applicable regulations, or where required for anti-money laundering or fraud prevention purposes.
