Clubhouse Casino Responsible Gambling Policy
At Clubhouse Casino, we believe that gambling should always be an enjoyable form of entertainment — never a source of stress, financial hardship or personal harm. Our Clubhouse Casino responsible gambling framework is built on transparency, player empowerment and a genuine commitment to safe gambling for every Australian player. This page outlines our approach to responsible gaming, the practical tools at your disposal and the support organisations available if you or someone you know needs help.
Our Commitment to Responsible Gaming
Clubhouse Casino operates under a licence issued by the Government of Curaçao and takes its obligations around player protection extremely seriously. We have implemented a comprehensive suite of safer gambling tools that allow you to maintain gambling control at every stage of your playing experience. From the moment you register, you have access to limit-setting features, self-assessment resources and direct links to Australian help services — all designed to help you gamble responsibly.
Our responsible gambling team monitors unusual patterns of play and proactively reaches out to players who may be showing early warning signs of problematic behaviour. We are committed to ensuring that Clubhouse Casino safe gambling is not just a policy statement, but a lived practice embedded in every aspect of our platform.
Understanding Problem Gambling
Problem gambling is a serious condition that can affect anyone, regardless of age, background or income level. Unlike recreational gambling, where players set clear limits and walk away comfortably, gambling addiction involves a persistent urge to gamble despite mounting negative consequences. Recognising the warning signs early is the most effective way to seek help before harm escalates.
Financial Warning Signs
- Spending more than you can afford to lose on gambling activities
- Borrowing money, selling possessions or neglecting bills to fund gambling
- Chasing losses by placing increasingly larger bets
- Hiding gambling transactions from family members or employers
- Experiencing significant debt directly related to gambling behaviour
Emotional and Behavioural Warning Signs
- Feeling anxious, irritable or restless when attempting to cut back on gambling
- Using gambling as a means to escape personal problems or emotional distress
- Lying to friends, family or support workers about how much or how often you gamble
- Neglecting work, study, family or social responsibilities because of time spent gambling
- Repeatedly attempting to stop gambling without long-term success
Social Warning Signs
- Withdrawing from friends and family due to shame or secrecy around gambling habits
- Relationship breakdowns directly linked to gambling behaviour
- Loss of interest in hobbies and activities unrelated to gambling
- Conflict with loved ones over money or time spent gambling online
Self-Assessment Questionnaire
If you are unsure whether your gambling habits are becoming problematic, ask yourself the following questions honestly. If you answer "yes" to two or more, we strongly recommend reaching out to one of the support services listed at the bottom of this page.
- Have you ever gambled with money you needed for essential living expenses?
- Do you gamble to escape worry, boredom or personal difficulties?
- Have you tried to win back money that you have lost gambling?
- Have you lied to anyone about how much you spend gambling?
- Do you feel restless or irritable when you try to stop gambling?
- Has gambling ever caused conflict in your personal relationships?
- Have you borrowed money specifically to fund your gambling?
- Do you feel that you need to gamble with larger amounts to get the same level of excitement?
At Clubhouse Casino, we encourage every player to take this self-assessment periodically and to make use of our responsible gaming tools proactively — before gambling becomes a problem gambling issue.
Clubhouse Casino Responsible Gambling Tools
Clubhouse Casino provides a comprehensive range of safer gambling tools that you can activate directly from your account dashboard. These tools are available around the clock, are applied immediately upon request and are designed to keep you in full gambling control at all times.
Deposit Limits
Setting deposit limits is one of the most effective ways to manage your gambling budget. Clubhouse Casino deposit limits can be set on a daily, weekly or monthly basis. Once a limit is in place, you cannot deposit beyond that threshold until the limit period resets. If you wish to increase a deposit limit, a mandatory 7-day cooling-off period applies — ensuring that decisions to increase spending are made thoughtfully rather than impulsively.
| Limit Type | Period Options | Activation | Reduction Takes Effect | Increase Takes Effect |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Deposit Limit | Daily / Weekly / Monthly | Immediately | Immediately | After 7 days |
| Bet Limit | Daily / Weekly / Monthly | Immediately | Immediately | After 7 days |
| Loss Limit | Daily / Weekly / Monthly | Immediately | Immediately | After 7 days |
| Session Limit | Per session (minutes/hours) | Immediately | Immediately | After 24 hours |
Loss Limits
Loss limits cap the total amount you are permitted to lose within a chosen time period. If you reach your loss limit, your account is automatically restricted from further real-money play until the limit period expires. This feature is particularly useful for players who find it difficult to stop once they are on a losing streak — it removes the temptation entirely.
Session Limits
Session limits allow you to control how much time you spend at Clubhouse Casino in a single sitting. You can set a maximum session duration ranging from 30 minutes to several hours. When your session limit is reached, you will receive a notification and be logged out of your account automatically. This feature is ideal for players who want to maintain a healthy balance between gambling and other daily activities.
Cooling-Off Period
If you feel that you need a short break from gambling without committing to a full self-exclusion, the cooling-off period at Clubhouse Casino is the right tool. You can request a temporary break of 24 hours, 48 hours, 7 days or 30 days. During this cooling-off period, your account will be suspended for real-money play. This temporary pause gives you space to reassess your gambling habits without permanently closing your account.
Self-Exclusion
For players who determine that they need a longer break or a permanent separation from gambling, Clubhouse Casino offers a robust self-exclusion programme. Self-exclusion options are available for the following durations:
- 6 months
- 1 year
- 5 years
- Permanent exclusion
Once self-exclusion is activated, your account is immediately suspended. You will not be permitted to create a new account during the exclusion period, and our marketing team will cease all promotional communications. We take every self-exclusion request seriously and process them without delay. To request self-exclusion, contact our support team via live chat or email at [email protected].
Activity Monitoring and Player Protection
Clubhouse Casino employs advanced activity monitoring systems to identify patterns of play that may indicate a developing issue with gambling addiction. These systems analyse metrics such as session duration, frequency of deposits, changes in wagering patterns and problem gambling risk indicators. Where our systems flag a concern, a member of our player protection team will make direct contact with the player to offer support and information about available resources.
All Clubhouse Casino staff who interact with players are trained to recognise signs of problem gambling and to respond sensitively and professionally. Our commitment to responsible gaming is backed by ongoing staff education and adherence to internationally recognised responsible gambling standards.
The 8 Golden Rules of Safe Gambling
Whether you are a casual player or a regular visitor to Clubhouse Casino, following these eight golden rules will help you maintain a safe gambling experience:
- Set a budget before you play — Decide in advance how much you are willing to spend and stick to it using our deposit limits feature.
- Treat gambling as entertainment — Think of money spent on gambling as the cost of entertainment, not as an investment or a way to make money.
- Never chase your losses — Accept that losses are part of the game and resist the urge to increase your bets to recover them.
- Set time limits for your sessions — Use our session limits to ensure gambling does not encroach on other aspects of your life.
- Gamble only with money you can afford to lose — Never gamble with money earmarked for rent, food, utilities or other essential expenses.
- Take regular breaks — Step away from the screen regularly to maintain perspective and avoid impulsive decisions.
- Do not gamble under the influence — Alcohol, drugs or extreme emotional states can impair judgement and lead to poor decision-making.
- Seek help early — If you notice any warning signs, reach out to Clubhouse Casino's gambling help support team or a professional organisation before the situation escalates.
Protection of Minors
Clubhouse Casino operates a strict zero-tolerance policy regarding underage gambling. All players are required to verify their identity before making their first withdrawal, and our KYC (Know Your Customer) process includes age verification checks to ensure that only adults aged 18 and over are permitted to gamble on our platform.

Gambling Blocking Software for Adults
