Responsible Gaming
At Royal Lotto Australia, we believe gaming should be fun, exciting, and above all โ safe. We're committed to providing a responsible gaming environment where players can enjoy themselves without it becoming a problem.
๐ฏ Our Commitment
Look, we're not just saying this because we have to โ we genuinely care about our players' wellbeing. Gaming addiction is real, and we've seen firsthand how it can affect people and their families. That's why we've invested heavily in tools and resources to keep gaming enjoyable and safe.
Every staff member is trained in responsible gaming practices. Our systems are designed to spot concerning patterns, and we proactively reach out to players who might need support. Because honestly? Your wellbeing matters more than any profit.
๐ก๏ธ Player Protection Tools
Spending Limits
Set daily, weekly, or monthly limits on how much you can deposit or spend. Once you hit your limit, that's it โ the system won't let you spend more until the next period. You can lower limits immediately, but increases have a 24-hour cooling off period.
Time Limits
Control how much time you spend gaming. Set session time limits and receive reminders when you've been playing for extended periods. Because honestly, there's more to life than lottery tickets!
Self-Exclusion
Need a break? You can exclude yourself from your account for 24 hours, 7 days, 30 days, or permanently. During exclusion, you won't be able to access your account or receive any promotional materials from us.
Reality Checks
Our system automatically shows you how long you've been playing and how much you've spent during your session. These pop-ups happen at regular intervals to help you stay aware of your activity.
โ ๏ธ Warning Signs
