Responsible Gaming

Fortune Panda Casino is committed to promoting a safer and more informed approach to online gaming. Gambling should be treated as entertainment, not as a way to make money or solve financial problems. Before you play, consider your limits, understand the risks and make sure gambling is suitable for your personal circumstances.

Gamble responsibly

Responsible gaming means making informed choices, keeping control of your play and understanding that gambling outcomes are determined by chance. There is no guaranteed strategy for winning, and previous results do not predict future results. A win is never owed after a series of losses, and a losing session cannot be recovered by continuing to play.

In this review

Only gamble with money you can afford to lose after your essential costs have been paid. Your gaming budget should not affect rent, mortgage payments, bills, food, transport, education, savings or other important expenses. Never borrow money to gamble, use money intended for someone else or sell personal belongings to continue playing.

Set a spending limit before you begin and keep to it.
Set a time limit so that gaming does not take over your day or night.
Take regular breaks, particularly during longer sessions.
Avoid gambling when you are upset, stressed, tired or under the influence of alcohol or other substances.
Do not chase losses by increasing stakes or playing for longer.
Keep gambling separate from essential household and personal finances.
Treat all bets as entertainment spending rather than an investment.
Review your gaming activity regularly and act if your habits begin to change.

It can also help to tell someone you trust about your limits. A friend, partner or family member may notice changes in your behaviour and provide useful support. If gambling is causing concern, acting early is usually easier than waiting for the problem to become more serious.

Recognising signs of gambling harm

Gambling can become harmful when it affects your finances, relationships, work, study, health or general wellbeing. Risk can increase gradually, and some people may not recognise the change until problems have already developed. There is no single level of gambling that is safe for everyone, so it is important to pay attention to your own behaviour and its effects.

Possible warning signs include spending more time or money gambling than you intended, thinking about gambling throughout the day, hiding or minimising your activity, or feeling restless when you try to stop. You may also be at risk if you regularly gamble to escape problems, chase losses, need to increase your stakes to feel excitement, or return to gambling soon after deciding to stop.

You have difficulty sticking to a budget or session limit.
You use savings, credit or money for bills to gamble.
You feel anxious, guilty, ashamed or distressed after playing.
Your gambling causes arguments or secrecy with family, friends or colleagues.
You miss work, study, sleep or other responsibilities because of gambling.
You try to win back losses by making larger or more frequent bets.
You ask others for money because of gambling losses.
You have tried to cut down or stop but have not been able to do so.

If any of these signs apply to you, consider stopping play and seeking support. You do not need to wait for a crisis before asking for help. Speaking openly with someone you trust or contacting an appropriate gambling support service can be a practical first step.

Tools to help you stay in control

Depending on the features available to your account, you may be able to use responsible gaming controls to manage your activity. These tools are designed to support informed decisions, but they work best when you set them before playing and use them consistently. Please review the options available through your account or contact the relevant support team for general assistance with responsible gaming settings.

Deposit and spending limits

A deposit or spending limit can restrict the amount you add or use during a selected period. Choose an amount based on your personal budget, not on your preferred stakes or previous wins. A limit should be viewed as a maximum, not a target. If you are regularly reaching it, this may be a reason to reduce your activity or take a break.

Time and session reminders

Time reminders can help you notice how long you have been playing. Use them as a prompt to pause, check your spending and decide whether to stop. It is easy to lose track of time during online gaming, particularly late at night, so schedule breaks and avoid playing when you need to rest or meet other responsibilities.

Time-outs and self-exclusion

A time-out can provide a short break from gaming. Self-exclusion is a stronger measure that prevents access for a chosen period or until a review process is completed, where available. If you feel unable to control your gambling, consider using self-exclusion rather than relying on willpower alone. Do not open another account or use another person’s account to get around a restriction.

Account and payment safety

Keep your account information private and never allow another person to gamble through your account. Check your transaction history and account activity regularly. If you notice activity you do not recognise, stop using the account and seek assistance through the available support channel. Strong, unique passwords and appropriate device security can also help protect your account.

Support and safer play information

If gambling is affecting you or someone close to you, confidential support is available in Australia through gambling help services, health professionals and community organisations. These services can provide information, counselling, financial guidance and practical support. You can contact a suitable service even if you are unsure whether your gambling is a serious problem.

You may also wish to speak with your general practitioner, a qualified counsellor or a financial counsellor. If gambling has contributed to immediate financial, emotional or relationship difficulties, explain the situation honestly so that the right support can be considered. If you feel at risk of harming yourself or someone else, seek urgent help through local emergency services or a crisis support provider.

Stop gambling and close the game or sign out of your account.
Review your recent activity and identify the amount of time and money involved.
Apply an available limit, time-out or self-exclusion measure.
Tell a trusted person what is happening and ask them to support your plan.
Contact an appropriate Australian gambling support service or health professional.
Remove easy access to gambling funds and avoid borrowing to continue playing.
Create a practical plan for your next day, including rest, meals and other activities.
