Your five tools

Choose your limits before you play

Fatpirate Casino puts every control inside the account, set by you, before a session rather than after a bad one.

Before the first session

Deposit limits cap how much you move into the account over a set period. Switch them on before your first session at a level your budget carries comfortably.

When a bad run stretches

Loss limits stop the session when net losses reach the figure you chose. Turn them on if a losing run has ever pushed you past what you planned.

A nudge mid-session

Session time reminders note how long you have been playing. A quiet nudge before a long evening keeps the clock visible instead of hidden.

When a break is the answer

Self-exclusion locks your account for a period you choose, so play stops entirely. Use it when limits keep being overridden and a full break feels needed.

Mid-play time check

Reality checks interrupt play to show elapsed time and what you have spent. Short intervals suit anyone who loses track once a game gets going.

Starting your limit

Set your limit before you spin

Most players worry that a limit takes days to arrange or a call to support to change.

Where do limits live?

Sign in and open the settings area of your account. Check that your details and your chosen payment method are the ones you want the limit to govern.

Pick the right limit

Pick the limit you need: deposit, loss or session time. Each one works on a different part of play, so read the description before choosing.

Day, week or month?

Enter the amount or the time, then choose whether the period runs for a day, a week or a month. A weekly figure usually suits regular play better.

One last read-back

Confirm the setting and check that the screen shows the new figure. Read it back once, because the limit is easier to keep when it matches your plan.

Someone to call

Call one of these before you decide anything

Use this block when the numbers feel heavy and you want a person, not a settings screen.

National Gambling Helpline

A free, confidential line for players and for relatives, answered every hour of every day, with online chat and email counselling, self-help tools and a directory of local services. 1800 858 858 gamblinghelponline.org.au

Gamblers Anonymous Australia

Peer support meetings run by people who gamble themselves, open to players and to families across Australia, a place to sit with others who understand the pull. gaaustralia.org.au

National Debt Helpline

Free financial counselling for gambling debt, open Monday to Friday between 9:30 and 16:30, for anyone working out what is owed and how to deal with it. ndh.org.au

Pick the break that matches how you feel

Can I just take a few days off? A time-out holds the account for a few hours or a few days and starts from the settings inside your account. Nothing needs explaining to anyone, and play resumes on its own once the period ends.

How do I shut the door properly? Self-exclusion closes your access for a long period and cannot be lifted early, so the decision holds even on a hard evening. It is set in the account, and support is available alongside it if you want it.

From one month to a lifetime of no bets. BetStop is the Australian register run by the Australian Government, banning you from licensed online and phone wagering providers and their marketing. Registration runs from a minimum of three months up to a lifetime and is done online at betstop.gov.au. betstop.gov.au

You noticed the play is no longer small

Checked at sign-up, checked again at payout. Registration asks for your date of birth, and 18+ is the line here. Identity documents are also requested before the first withdrawal, so a mismatched date is caught early rather than later.

What can stop the site from loading? On a shared family laptop or phone, blocking software quietly removes gambling sites from the browser. Decide together which devices carry it, then keep the setting on rather than lifting it in a good week.

Words before the argument. A relative can raise the subject without blame, saying what they have seen rather than what they think of it. The National Gambling Helpline 1800 858 858 advises families too, around the clock, at no cost.

When the fun thins out and the chasing starts

These signals show up early, while a limit or a pause still does most of the work. Setting one before the next session keeps the decision yours rather than the balance's.

Look for these in your own week rather than in a score or a test.

Spending more than you planned to
Chasing a loss with another deposit
Hiding the amounts from people close to you
Borrowing money to keep playing
Restless or flat when you cannot play
Playing longer than you meant to
Promising to stop and returning anyway

Your safety net

Check the details before you decide

Most people ask whether a pause really holds, and who to ring when a relative is struggling.

Can the gambling helpline advise me about my brother's betting?+

Yes. The National Gambling Helpline takes calls from worried relatives as well as from players, at any hour on any day, and its counsellors can point you to local services. Free online chat and email are there too if speaking aloud feels hard.

Can I cancel a self-exclusion before the period ends?+

No. A self-exclusion runs for the full period you chose when you set it in your account, and it cannot be lifted early. Waiting it out is the point of the tool, so plan the period when you start.

Can I set deposit limits from my phone?+

Yes. Your account's mobile view holds the same limit settings as the desktop page, with nothing removed on a smaller screen. Choose the figure before play begins rather than after a losing session.

How do I shut my account down for good?+

Email is the route: send a closure request to the support address listed on this page and the team will take it from there. Consider a self-exclusion first if a fixed break would do instead.

Why do I have to prove I am 18 before playing?+

Only adults may hold an account here, so age is checked at sign-up and again before a payout leaves. Sending proof of identity keeps the account open and the withdrawal moving.

Does a self-exclusion here block me at other casinos?+

No. It covers your Fatpirate Casino account only; to stop play across licensed Australian wagering providers you would need BetStop, the national register run by the Australian Government. Registering there has its own rules, including a minimum of 3 months.
