Tools you control

When Play Starts Costing Too Much

What each control does, so you can reach for the right one the first time.

  1. 1

    Caps in, before play

    This tool caps how much you can add to the account, set before a session rather than after a loss. Switch it on when top-ups start feeling automatic.

  2. 2

    Knowing your worst case

    A loss limit fixes the amount you are prepared to see gone in a set window. Choose it when a figure you can name feels safer than one you discover later.

  3. 3

    Set a session length

    Session time limits close the play area once the clock you chose runs out. Put one on when evenings blur and you cannot say how long you have been sitting.

  4. 4

    A pause, not a goodbye

    A cooling-off period rests the account for an agreed stretch without closing it for good. Take one when you want distance but are not ready to step away entirely.

  5. 5

    When a pause is not enough

    Self-exclusion shuts the account to play and deposits for the whole stretch you pick. Use it when a pause has already failed you more than once.

Setting a Limit in Your Account

The short path from the settings screen to a limit that already applies to your next deposit.

  1. 1

    Getting into settings

    Log in with your email address and password, then open the settings area from your profile. Check you are in the right account before changing anything.

  2. 2

    Where do the controls live?

    Look for the responsible gambling section inside settings, sometimes under a shield or plus icon. Everything below sits in that one place.

  3. 3

    Choosing the tool

    Decide whether money or time needs the cap: deposit limits, loss limits, session time limits, a cooling-off period or self-exclusion. Each one is set separately.

  4. 4

    Before the next session

    Pick the figure and the window it covers, keeping both realistic for what you can afford. Anything you cannot comfortably lose is too high.

  5. 5

    Save it, then check it

    Confirm the setting and re-read the summary it shows you. If the figure reads wrong, adjust it straight away rather than during play.

Early Warnings

Signs Worth Taking Seriously

Megapari Casino would rather you set a limit too early than notice the problem later.

None of this needs a diagnosis to deserve attention. Catching the shift while it is still small makes the next step easy: a limit set before you play, or a pause of a few hours, rather than a repair after a loss.
Signs To Watch For
Read through these and see whether any of them sound like your own week.
  • Spending more than you planned, again
  • Chasing losses with a bigger deposit
  • Hiding your play from people close to you
  • Borrowing money to keep going
  • Feeling restless on days you do not play
  • Playing longer than the session you set
  • Deposits you would not mention to anyone
Protection around the house

Is someone at home playing on your account?

One verified player per account
Nobody under 18 can hold an account, so identity documents are checked at sign-up and again before the first withdrawal is paid. Registering with someone else's details closes the account.
Turn on device filtering for children
Gambling sites can be filtered out of a shared phone or home computer through the parental controls already built into the device. That keeps the app out of a child's reach without needing anything extra.
Support for partners and parents
A calm conversation about money and time lands better than an accusation, and the National Gambling Helpline advices relatives as well as players. Its counsellors are free and answer at any hour.
Choosing Your Break

A Short Pause Or A Long Stop

A Break You Choose
A cooling-off period shuts your play for a set stretch while your account stays open. It suits a short break, and the length you choose runs to its end, so pick it before you start rather than in the middle of a session.
How Long Do You Need?
Self-exclusion in your account closes games and bets for a long, fixed period. You start it from the account itself, and it cannot be undone early, so treat the length as final before confirming it and plan what fills the time.
One List, Many Providers
BetStop is the Australian Government's national self-exclusion register, run by ACMA, with a minimum of 3 months and up to lifetime. Apply online in about five minutes and name a support person if you want one beside you. betstop.gov.au
Your short answers

What Changes, What Stays Shut

If I change my mind, can my self-exclusion be undone sooner?
+
No. Once a self-exclusion is in place, it holds for the whole period you chose, and the account stays closed until that period runs out. Nothing in the account lets you cut it short, so pick a stretch of time you can genuinely live with.
What does a cooling-off period actually do to my account?
+
It puts your account on hold for the length you select, so deposits and play are shut off while the pause lasts. Marketing messages stop too. When the period ends, your account opens again and you can play as before, without asking anyone.
Can I set a deposit limit from my phone instead of a computer?
+
Yes. The mobile version carries the same account section, with the same limits and switches, so nothing is missing on a smaller screen. Open the responsible gambling area in your account on the phone and set the figure there.
Why do you want my documents before I can play?
+
Every player must be 18 or over, and checking identity and address is how that is confirmed. The same check keeps one account to one person, as the terms require. It is a single step in your account, not a routine you repeat.
My brother plays far too much. Who can I ring for advice?
+
The National Gambling Helpline on 1800 858 858 takes calls from relatives as well as players, at any hour. You can also reach them by online chat or email if talking is hard. Both routes are free and nothing you say goes back to him.
