Responsible Gaming

Weplay88 supports gambling as a form of entertainment, not as a way to make money or solve financial problems. Responsible gaming means understanding the risks, setting personal boundaries and making informed decisions. This page explains practical steps you can take to keep gambling within safe limits and what to do if gambling is becoming difficult to control.

Gamble for entertainment

Gambling involves risk, and outcomes are determined by chance. No strategy can guarantee a win, and previous results do not predict future results. You should only gamble with money you can afford to lose after your normal living costs, financial commitments and other priorities have been covered. Never treat gambling as a source of income, a financial plan or a way to recover money that has already been lost.

Gamble for entertainment Set limits and use account controls Recognise when gambling may be a problem Protect yourself and others

Before you start, decide how much time and money you are comfortable spending. Consider these decisions in advance, while you are calm and not focused on winning. Once you reach your chosen limit, stop gambling, even if you are ahead or believe a win may be close. Taking regular breaks can help you remain aware of how long you have been playing and how much you have spent.

Keep gambling separate from essential spending. Do not use rent, mortgage payments, bills, food money, savings, borrowed money or credit intended for another purpose. Avoid gambling when you are upset, stressed, tired, affected by alcohol or other substances, or trying to distract yourself from personal problems. These situations can make it harder to make balanced decisions.

Practical steps for safer play

Set a spending limit before each session and keep to it.
Set a time limit and take breaks away from gambling.
Keep a record of deposits, withdrawals, wins, losses and time spent playing.
Do not chase losses by increasing your stakes or playing for longer.
Do not borrow money, sell possessions or use credit to gamble.
Avoid gambling on behalf of another person or allowing another person to use your account.
Do not gamble when your judgement may be affected by alcohol, medication or other substances.
View winnings as a possible outcome, not as an expected return.
Log out after playing and protect your account access details.
Talk openly with someone you trust if gambling starts to feel uncomfortable.

Set limits and use account controls

Account controls can help you keep gambling within the boundaries you have chosen. Depending on the services and tools available to your account, you may be able to set or request limits relating to deposits, wagering, losses, time or access. A limit is most useful when it is chosen before gambling begins and is treated as a firm personal boundary.

Review any available responsible gaming settings in your account. If you are unsure how a setting works, check the relevant information on the website or contact Weplay88 through the available support channel. Do not wait until you have lost control before taking action. It is better to reduce your activity early than to rely on willpower after spending more time or money than planned.

Taking a break or stopping

If you want to take a temporary break, use any available time-out or account restriction option. If you believe you need to stop gambling, request account closure or self-exclusion through the available process. Self-exclusion is intended to prevent or restrict access for a chosen period or in accordance with the relevant process. Once a restriction has been requested, do not try to open another account or gamble through someone else’s account.

A break from gambling should include practical steps outside the website as well. Remove saved payment details where appropriate, avoid gambling-related reminders, ask a trusted person to support your decision and consider blocking access to gambling websites or applications. If you have outstanding financial or personal concerns, deal with them separately rather than returning to gambling in the hope of changing the outcome.

Choose whether you need a spending limit, a time-out, account closure or self-exclusion.
Submit the request using the available account or support process.
Stop gambling while the request is being processed.
Do not create another account or use another person’s account to bypass a restriction.
Seek independent support if you are finding it difficult to maintain the break.

Recognise when gambling may be a problem

Problem gambling can affect people in different ways. It may begin with spending a little more time or money than intended and can develop gradually. You do not need to wait for serious financial, relationship or emotional harm before seeking help. If gambling is causing concern, support is available and asking for help is a practical step.

Possible warning signs

You gamble for longer than planned or repeatedly exceed your spending limit.
You think about gambling frequently or feel restless when you try to stop.
You chase losses or increase your stakes to try to recover money.
You hide gambling activity, losses or transactions from family or friends.
You borrow money, use credit or sell belongings to fund gambling.
You miss work, study, family responsibilities or appointments because of gambling.
You feel guilty, anxious, depressed, irritable or unable to relax after gambling.
You return to gambling after deciding to stop or take a break.
You rely on a win to pay bills or resolve financial difficulties.
Gambling is affecting your relationships, health, sleep or general wellbeing.

If any of these signs feel familiar, stop and consider taking a break or requesting an account restriction. Speak with a trusted person and seek help from an independent gambling support service in Australia. A qualified counsellor or financial counsellor can help you understand what is happening and plan practical next steps. Support is confidential in many settings, and you can ask for information without committing to a particular treatment.

If gambling has contributed to debt, avoid taking out further credit to cover losses. Consider contacting a free or independent financial counselling service for guidance about your options. If you feel overwhelmed, unsafe or at risk of harming yourself or someone else, contact emergency services or an appropriate crisis support service in your area immediately.

Protect yourself and others

Gambling is intended for adults who meet the applicable legal age and other eligibility requirements in their Australian state or territory. Do not allow anyone who is under the legal age to access your account, view your payment methods or gamble. Keep your login details private, use appropriate device security and log out when you have finished. Parents and carers may also wish to use device-level controls and discuss online safety with young people.

You are responsible for making sure your gambling is lawful where you live and for providing accurate information when required. Weplay88 may apply account checks, restrictions or other safeguards where necessary under its procedures or applicable requirements. Do not try to avoid an age, identity, location or account restriction by providing false information or using another person’s details.

Supporting someone else

If you are worried about another person’s gambling, choose a calm time to talk. Focus on specific changes you have noticed, such as missed payments, secrecy or spending more than planned, rather than making accusations. Encourage the person to set limits, take a break and speak with an independent support service. You can also seek advice for yourself, even if the person who gambles is not ready to ask for help.

Do not lend money to cover gambling losses or share your account to help someone continue playing. Protect joint finances and important documents, and obtain independent financial or legal advice where needed. If a person is in immediate danger, contact emergency services in Australia. Responsible gaming is a shared concern, and early action can help reduce harm.

Questions or concerns

For questions about responsible gaming tools, account restrictions or the process for taking a break, use the support or contact options shown on the Weplay88 website. Weplay88 can provide information about the processes available on the platform, but independent support services may be better placed to provide counselling, financial advice or ongoing assistance. Review this page regularly and take action whenever your gambling no longer feels enjoyable, controlled or affordable.
