Pure Casino Responsible Gaming
Pure Casino is committed to promoting a safe, balanced and informed approach to online gambling in Australia. Gambling should always be viewed as entertainment, not as a way to make money, solve financial problems or recover losses.
Responsible gambling means understanding the risks, setting personal boundaries and taking action when gambling no longer feels enjoyable or manageable. The guidance below explains how Pure Casino supports informed play and where players can obtain independent assistance.
Our Responsible Gambling Promise
Pure Casino aims to provide a transparent gaming environment where players can make informed decisions about their activity. We encourage every customer to consider gambling as one form of leisure and to spend only what they can comfortably afford to lose.
No outcome is guaranteed, and past results do not predict future results. Winning should never be treated as a source of regular income. Players are responsible for monitoring their behaviour, keeping their account information secure and using the available controls whenever they feel their gambling requires closer management.
Our responsible gambling approach includes clear information, account management features and access to support resources. We also expect players to be honest about their age, identity and ability to gamble safely.
Warning Signs of Harm
Problem gambling can develop gradually and may affect anyone. It is not defined only by the amount of money spent. Time, emotions, relationships and daily responsibilities can also be affected.
Possible warning signs include chasing losses, gambling with money intended for essentials, borrowing to continue playing, hiding gambling from family or friends, feeling restless when trying to stop, or repeatedly exceeding personal limits. A person may also notice reduced interest in work, study, sleep, social activities or other hobbies.
If gambling causes stress, guilt, arguments or financial difficulty, this may be a reason to pause and seek assistance. Recognising a concern early can make it easier to regain control. Players do not need to wait for a serious problem before using responsible gambling tools or speaking with someone they trust.
Check in and Set Boundaries
Before playing, consider how much time and money you are comfortable dedicating to entertainment. Limits work best when they are chosen in advance and treated as firm boundaries rather than targets to exceed.
- Deposit limits: Set a maximum amount that can be deposited over a selected period, and choose a level that fits your personal budget.
- Loss limits: Decide the amount you can afford to lose and stop when that amount has been reached, regardless of whether you are hoping to recover earlier losses.
- Reality checks: Use reminders to review how long you have been playing and how much activity has taken place during a session.
- Cooling-off periods: Take a temporary break from gambling when you need distance, a clearer perspective or time to reassess your habits.
- Self-exclusion: Request a longer-term restriction from using the account if you believe you need to stop gambling for an extended period.
Limits should reflect your real circumstances, including income, regular expenses, debts and other commitments. Increasing a limit in response to frustration or losses can undermine its purpose. If you are uncertain what limit is appropriate, choosing a lower amount or taking a break may be the safer option.
Controls Available Online
Pure Casino provides responsible gambling features through the website to help players manage their activity. Availability and processing may depend on the account function and the request being made, but the main tools include:
- Deposit controls that allow players to manage how much money is added to an account over a chosen period.
- Loss management options to help customers establish a maximum acceptable loss.
- Reality check reminders that prompt players to review their session duration and activity.
- Cooling-off requests for a temporary interruption of access or gambling activity.
- Self-exclusion requests for players who need a stronger and longer-lasting restriction.
- Account activity information to support review of deposits, withdrawals, play and time spent on the website.
These features are designed to support personal decisions and are not a substitute for professional advice. Players should use them before gambling becomes difficult to manage. If a requested restriction does not appear to reflect correctly, contact Pure Casino promptly and avoid continuing to play until the issue has been clarified.
Finding Help and Guidance
If gambling is becoming difficult to control, seek professional help rather than attempting to manage the situation alone. Speaking with a qualified counsellor, healthcare professional or trusted person can provide practical support and a confidential opportunity to discuss what is happening.
For account-related responsible gambling assistance, contact Pure Casino at [email protected]. Our support team can help explain available account restrictions and guide you through the relevant process. Contacting Pure Casino does not replace independent counselling or specialist treatment.
The following organisations are independent external support services. They are not partners of Pure Casino and are not operated by Pure Casino:
- Gambling Help Online provides information, counselling and support for people affected by gambling.
- Australian Government - Gambling Support Services provides information about available gambling support options.
- The National Gambling Helpline on 1800 858 858 is a free and confidential support service for people affected by gambling.
Support may also be valuable for family members, friends and others affected by someone else's gambling. If there is an immediate risk to personal safety, contact the appropriate emergency or health service in your location.
Protecting Underage Users
Only individuals aged 18 or older may use the Pure Casino website. Underage gambling is not permitted. We may request information or documentation to verify age and identity, and an account may be restricted or closed where eligibility cannot be confirmed.
Parents and guardians should discuss the risks of online gambling with young people and take reasonable steps to prevent access to gambling accounts, payment methods and gambling websites. Anyone who is under 18 must not create an account, deposit funds or participate in any game.
Use Parental Safeguards
Parents and guardians can use device, browser and network controls to reduce the likelihood of young people accessing gambling content. These measures can be helpful, but no technical control is perfect and they should be combined with supervision and open communication.
- Keep account passwords, payment details and verification information private.
- Use parental control settings on phones, tablets, computers and home networks.
- Consider age-filtering or website-blocking software where appropriate.
- Do not allow children to use an adult's gambling account or payment instrument.
- Review devices and installed applications regularly, particularly when a child shares access to them.
- Explain that gambling is restricted to adults and is not a game designed for children.
Adults should also avoid leaving an account signed in on a shared device. Strong, unique passwords and secure access settings provide an additional layer of protection.
Practical Ways to Stay in Control
- Set a budget before you start and treat the amount as entertainment spending.
- Set a time limit and take regular breaks away from the screen.
- Never gamble with money needed for rent, bills, food, education or other essential commitments.
- Do not borrow money, use credit irresponsibly or sell possessions to fund gambling.
- Never chase losses by increasing stakes or playing for longer than planned.
- Avoid gambling when you are distressed, tired, angry, intoxicated or under pressure.
- Keep gambling separate from financial planning and do not rely on winnings to meet regular expenses.
- Review your account activity regularly so that deposits, losses and time spent do not become easy to overlook.
- Balance gambling with work, family, exercise, social activities and other interests.
- Tell someone you trust about your limits if keeping them becomes difficult.
- Use a cooling-off period or self-exclusion as soon as you believe a stronger break is needed.
Taking a break is a positive responsible gambling choice, not a failure. A decision to stop can protect your finances, relationships and wellbeing before more serious harm occurs.
Keeping This Policy Current
Pure Casino may review and update this responsible gambling policy to reflect changes to website features, operational practices, guidance or applicable requirements. Any updated version will be made available on the website and will apply from the date it is published, unless a different effective date is stated.
Players should review this page periodically so they remain familiar with the available controls and support options. Continued use of the website after an update may indicate that the revised information has been read, but players should contact Pure Casino if any part of the policy or a responsible gambling feature is unclear.
Responsible gambling is an ongoing process. Pure Casino encourages every player to make informed choices, use available safeguards early and seek independent help whenever gambling stops being enjoyable or begins to affect everyday life.
