Thebes Casino Responsible Gaming
At Thebes Casino, gambling is intended to be a form of entertainment. It should never be treated as a reliable way to make money, recover losses, or solve financial difficulties.
This Responsible Gaming page explains practical steps and safeguards designed to help players in Australia make informed choices, set boundaries, and access support if gambling stops feeling enjoyable or becomes hard to control.
Our Commitment to Responsible Gambling
Thebes Casino supports responsible gambling by promoting informed play, offering account-based tools to help you manage time and spending, and providing clear information about where to seek independent help. We aim to reduce the risk of gambling-related harm by encouraging realistic expectations, mindful decision-making, and early action when gambling patterns change.
Responsible gambling is a shared responsibility. While we provide tools and information, each player is responsible for choosing whether to gamble and for staying within limits they can comfortably afford. If you feel gambling is no longer fun or is affecting your wellbeing, taking a break and seeking help is a positive step.
Recognising Problem Gambling
Gambling becomes a concern when it stops being a leisure activity and starts causing stress, conflict, or financial strain. Signs can appear gradually and may be difficult to notice at first, especially when gambling is used to cope with emotions or pressure.
Common indicators that gambling may be becoming problematic include:
- Spending more time or money than you planned, or feeling unable to stop.
- Chasing losses by increasing stakes or making repeated deposits.
- Borrowing money, using credit, or selling items to fund gambling.
- Hiding gambling activity or becoming defensive when asked about it.
- Neglecting work, study, family, or social commitments due to gambling.
- Feeling anxious, irritable, or low when trying to cut back.
- Gambling to escape stress, loneliness, or negative emotions.
Not every sign will apply to every person. However, if any of these patterns sound familiar, it may be helpful to pause and review your gambling habits.
Self-Assessment and Limits
Self-assessment is a practical way to check whether gambling is remaining within healthy boundaries. Consider how often you gamble, how you feel before and after a session, and whether gambling is affecting your finances or relationships. Honest reflection can help you act early, before problems escalate.
Setting limits is one of the most effective ways to stay in control. Thebes Casino encourages players to set boundaries that match their personal circumstances and comfort level, and to treat limits as non-negotiable commitments rather than targets.
- Deposit limits: set a cap on how much you can deposit over a chosen period.
- Loss limits: set a maximum amount you are prepared to lose within a defined time frame.
- Reality checks: receive periodic reminders about session duration and activity.
- Cooling-off periods: take a short break from gambling to reset and reassess.
- Self-exclusion: block access for a longer period when you need stronger protection.
If you decide to set or change limits, choose amounts and timeframes you can realistically maintain. Where available, increases to limits may be subject to safeguards intended to reduce impulsive decisions.
Responsible Gaming Tools
Thebes Casino provides responsible gambling features to help you manage your play. Availability can depend on your account settings and the way you access the website, but the aim is the same: to support informed, controlled gambling.
- Account limits that allow you to restrict deposits and other spending-related activity.
- Session and time-management options, including reminders that help track how long you have been playing.
- Cooling-off functionality that restricts access for a chosen short period.
- Self-exclusion options that restrict access for an extended period.
- Access to your account history so you can review deposits, withdrawals, and gameplay activity.
- Login and password controls to help keep your account secure and reduce unauthorised access.
Responsible gaming tools work best when combined with personal boundaries, such as playing only with discretionary funds and scheduling gambling time in advance.
Support and Assistance
If gambling becomes difficult to control, seeking professional support can be an important and effective step. Help is available whether you are experiencing harm yourself or are concerned about someone else. Speaking with a qualified counsellor can help you understand triggers, rebuild healthy routines, and manage finances and relationships impacted by gambling.

You can also contact the National Gambling Helpline (1800 858 858), a free and confidential support service for people affected by gambling.
Underage Gambling
Protecting minors is a core part of responsible gambling. Only individuals aged 18+ or older may use the Thebes Casino website, create an account, or participate in any gambling activity.
We encourage parents, guardians, and other responsible adults to take reasonable steps to prevent underage access to gambling services. If you believe a minor may have accessed gambling services using your device or payment method, take immediate action by restricting device access and reviewing security controls.
Parental Controls
Parental controls and device-level safeguards can reduce the risk of underage gambling and help households manage online activity. Thebes Casino recommends using a combination of access controls, privacy settings, and shared-device protections.
Practical measures include:
- Use separate user profiles on shared computers, tablets, and phones.
- Enable device passcodes and avoid saving passwords in browsers.
- Apply operating system parental controls to limit access to gambling-related content.
- Install website filtering tools where appropriate for your household.
- Keep payment methods secure and review bank and card statements regularly.
These steps are most effective when paired with open, age-appropriate conversations about online risks and the legal age requirement for gambling.
Tips for Staying in Control
Responsible gambling is easier when you plan ahead and keep play within clear boundaries. The following tips can help you maintain control while using Thebes Casino:
- Set a budget before you start and only gamble with money you can afford to lose.
- Decide on a time limit for each session and stop when that time ends.
- Avoid chasing losses; treat losses as the cost of entertainment, not a problem to fix.
- Take regular breaks and use reality checks or reminders to stay aware of time spent.
- Do not gamble when upset, stressed, tired, or under the influence of alcohol or other substances.
- Balance gambling with other activities and keep social, work, and family commitments first.
- Keep track of deposits and play history so you understand your actual spending over time.
- If you find yourself repeatedly exceeding limits, consider a cooling-off period or self-exclusion.
Staying in control is not about willpower alone. Using tools and asking for help early can prevent gambling from becoming harmful.
