Responsible Gambling
At Casino Surge, we are committed to providing a safe, fair, and enjoyable gaming environment for all our Australian players. We believe that gambling should always be a form of entertainment — never a way to make money or escape personal problems. This page outlines our responsible gambling policies, the tools available to help you stay in control, and where to find support if you need it.
Our Commitment to Responsible Gambling
Casino Surge operates under a strict responsible gambling framework in accordance with Australian consumer protection standards and the guidelines set by the Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA). We take our duty of care seriously and continuously work to promote healthy gambling habits among our players.
Our responsible gambling program is regularly reviewed and updated. This page was last updated in June 2026.
Know the Signs of Problem Gambling
Problem gambling can affect anyone, regardless of age, background, or income. It is important to recognise the warning signs early. You may have a gambling problem if you:
- Spend more money or time gambling than you can afford
- Find it difficult to stop or cut back on gambling
- Gamble to escape stress, anxiety, or depression
- Lie to family or friends about how much you gamble
- Borrow money or sell possessions to fund gambling
- Feel restless or irritable when trying to reduce gambling
- Chase losses in an attempt to win back money
- Neglect work, family, or personal responsibilities due to gambling
If any of these signs apply to you, we strongly encourage you to use the tools available on our platform and seek professional support.
Responsible Gambling Tools at Casino Surge
We provide a range of tools to help you manage your gambling activity. You can access all of these features by logging into your account and visiting the Responsible Gambling section in your account settings.
Deposit Limits
Set daily, weekly, or monthly deposit limits to control how much money you add to your account. Once a limit is set, it takes effect immediately. Increasing a limit requires a 7-day cooling-off period before it comes into force.
Loss Limits
Set a maximum amount you are willing to lose over a defined period. This helps you stay within your budget and prevents chasing losses.
Session Time Limits
Set a maximum duration for each gaming session. Once your time limit is reached, you will be automatically logged out of your account.
Reality Checks
Enable regular on-screen reminders that show how long you have been playing and how much you have spent during your current session.
Cool-Off Period
Take a short break from gambling by activating a cool-off period of 24 hours, 48 hours, or up to 30 days. During this time, you will not be able to log in or place bets.
Self-Exclusion
If you feel you need a longer break, you can self-exclude from Casino Surge for a minimum period of 6 months or permanently. During self-exclusion, your account will be suspended and you will not receive any promotional communications from us.
To activate self-exclusion, please contact our support team directly:
- Email: [email protected]
- Live Chat: Available 24/7 via our website
National Self-Exclusion — BetStop
Australia's National Self-Exclusion Register, BetStop, allows you to self-exclude from all licensed Australian online wagering services at once. Registration is free and can be done online.

Protecting Minors
Casino Surge strictly prohibits gambling by anyone under the age of 18. We verify the age and identity of all players during the registration process. If we have reason to believe that a minor has accessed our platform, the account will be immediately suspended and investigated.
We also recommend that parents and guardians use parental control software to prevent minors from accessing gambling websites. The following tools can help:
