Responsible gaming at Slotlords Casino
Pokies and table games are here for entertainment, nothing more. We built Slotlords Casino so you stay in control of every session, and this page sets out exactly how that works, from the limits you can set yourself to the free Australian helplines you can ring at any hour.
Our commitment to your wellbeing
What we do proactively
We take player wellbeing seriously, and that commitment shows up in the product itself rather than in fine print. Every Slotlords Casino account includes a full set of control tools available from the moment you register, before you ever make a first deposit of 50 AUD or claim the welcome bonus.
Our systems monitor play patterns in the background. When we see behaviour that looks like someone struggling, such as repeated deposit top-ups after losses or sharply increased session lengths, our trained support team reaches out through a private message with information about limits and a direct offer of help. We never lecture, and we never share your activity with third parties.
Reality checks
Reality check reminders pop up on your screen every 30, 60 or 120 minutes, whichever interval you pick in your account settings. The message tells you how long you have been playing, your net result for the session and a one-tap button to end the session. You can turn the reminders on or adjust the frequency at any time under Profile, then Responsible Gaming.
Warning signs worth watching
Patterns that matter
- Chasing losses: topping up your deposit straight after a losing session to win the money back
- Hiding your play: closing the screen when family walk in, or lying about time spent on pokies
- Borrowing to gamble: using credit cards, payday loans or money borrowed from friends to keep playing
- Mood changes: irritability or restlessness when you are not playing, or gambling to escape stress and low mood
- Escalating bets: needing larger wagers to feel the same level of excitement as before
- Broken boundaries: repeatedly exceeding limits you set for yourself, or gambling past the time you planned to stop
- Neglecting priorities: missing work, study, sleep or family commitments because of gaming sessions
- Withdrawal symptoms: difficulty concentrating or sleeping because you are thinking about the next session
One honest question
If any of the above rang true, it costs nothing to pause. A 24-hour timeout is two clicks away in your account, and no one will ask you why you used it.
Tools you can set today
Control tools in your account
- Deposit limits: cap how much you can deposit per day, week or month, and the cap applies to all payment methods including crypto
- Loss limits: set the maximum amount you are prepared to lose in a set period, and play stops when the limit is reached
- Wagering limits: restrict the total value of bets you can place in a day or week, regardless of outcomes
- Session timeouts: take a short break of 24 hours, 7 days or 30 days with a single click, no questions asked
- Reality checks: on-screen reminders at your chosen interval showing session time and net result
- Cooling-off periods: a medium-term pause of one to six months that blocks deposits and play while it lasts
- Self-exclusion: a formal closure of your account for a fixed or permanent period, described in full below
Limits work best early
Set limits before they feel necessary. Players who configure deposit caps in their first week tell us the same thing: the limit stopped a bad night before it started, and it took under a minute to set up.
How self exclusion works
Durations and what happens
| Duration | Deposits | Balance | Open bets |
|---|---|---|---|
| 24 hours | Blocked | Remains in account | Standing bets settled normally |
| 7 days | Blocked | Remains in account | Standing bets settled normally |
| 30 days | Blocked | Remains in account | Standing bets settled normally |
| 6 months | Blocked | Withdrawable on request | Standing bets settled normally |
| Permanent | Blocked | Withdrawable on request | Standing bets settled normally |
Balance, bets and reactivation
Your balance stays yours. For short exclusions it simply waits in your account; for exclusions of six months or permanent exclusions, contact [email protected] and we will arrange a withdrawal of the remaining balance through any of our standard withdrawal methods. Open bets already placed settle normally and winnings are credited to your account.
When a fixed exclusion period ends, your account reopens automatically. Before your first deposit back, we send a message with links to our responsible gaming tools and to Gambling Help Online, so you can decide your limits with a clear head. Permanent exclusions never reactivate. If you request one, we close the account for good and remove you from all promotional communication.
Keeping minors away from pokies
Our age policy
You must be at least 18 years old to hold a Slotlords Casino account. We verify age during registration through identity checks, and our KYC process requires a government-issued ID, proof of address and payment method verification before your first withdrawal, with processing inside 24 hours. Any account found to belong to a person under 18 is closed immediately and forfeited balances are refunded via the original deposit method where possible.
Tools for parents
If children share or can access your devices, lock your account with a PIN in profile settings and log out after every session. Parental control software adds a second layer:
Cyber Patrol, Net Nanny and Qustodio all block gambling sites across every browser on the device, work on Windows, macOS, Android and iOS, and let you set separate rules per child profile. Free options such as the parental controls built into Windows Family Safety and Apple Screen Time also support restricted website lists.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I set a deposit limit on my Slotlords Casino account?
Go to Profile, then Responsible Gaming, and choose a daily, weekly or monthly deposit cap. The limit applies immediately and covers every payment method including crypto. Our 24/7 live chat team can set or adjust limits for you.
Can I cancel a self-exclusion before it ends?
No. Self-exclusion cannot be lifted early for any reason, which is the point of the tool. Fixed periods end automatically, and permanent exclusions never reopen. If you excluded yourself permanently and need your balance, email [email protected] and we will arrange a withdrawal.
What happens to my money if I self-exclude?
Your balance remains yours. For 24-hour to 30-day exclusions it waits in your account. For six-month or permanent exclusions, contact support and we will process a withdrawal to Visa, bank transfer, e-wallet or crypto.
Is there a minimum age to play at Slotlords Casino?
Yes, 18. We verify age at registration and run full KYC checks, including government ID, before your first withdrawal. Accounts held by anyone under 18 are closed immediately.
Does it cost anything to use responsible gaming tools?
No. Every limit, reminder, timeout and self-exclusion option is free, and so is a call to Gambling Help Online on 1800 858 858.
