Responsible Gambling
Gambling should always be a form of entertainment — never a way to make money or escape from problems. At ripperpokies.com, responsible gambling is a core commitment. This page explains how to stay in control and where to get help if gambling stops being fun.
Know the Signs of Problem Gambling
Problem gambling can affect anyone. Common warning signs include:
- Gambling with money you cannot afford to lose.
- Chasing losses — continuing to gamble to try to win back money you have lost.
- Lying to friends or family about how much time or money you spend gambling.
- Feeling irritable or anxious when you try to stop or cut back.
- Neglecting work, study, or family responsibilities because of gambling.
- Borrowing money or selling possessions to fund gambling.
- Gambling as a way to cope with stress, depression, or loneliness.
If any of these signs apply to you or someone you know, please seek help immediately. Gambling problems can escalate quickly, but with the right support, recovery is possible.
Tools to Stay in Control
Responsible operators offer a range of tools to help players manage their gambling. These can typically be found in your account settings on the Ripper Casino website:
- Deposit limits — set daily, weekly, or monthly caps on how much you deposit.
- Loss limits — restrict how much you can lose in a given period.
- Session time limits — set a maximum session duration with reminders.
- Reality checks — periodic pop-up reminders of how long you have been playing.
- Cool-off period — temporarily suspend your account for days, weeks, or months.
- Self-exclusion — permanently or indefinitely close your account and opt into exclusion lists.
Contact Ripper Casino's 24/7 live chat support to activate any of these tools immediately.
Self-Exclusion in Australia
Australia's national self-exclusion register, GamStop, allows you to self-exclude from multiple online gambling operators at once. You can also contact individual operators directly to request self-exclusion.
The Responsible Gambling Registry maintains a record of self-excluded individuals and works with Australian venues and operators to enforce exclusions.
