Responsible gambling at Luckycrew
View offersGambling is entertainment, not income
We run Luckycrew for adults in Australia, and the legal gambling age here is 18+. Gambling should be a paid form of entertainment, much like a night at the cinema. It is never a way to earn a living or fix a money problem. Every spin and every hand carries a risk of losing the stake.
Treat any money you play with as money already spent. If you would miss it from rent, bills or groceries, it does not belong in a bet. Decide your budget before you start, and stop when it is gone. Chasing a loss almost always makes it bigger.
Tools that keep play in check
Set a budget first
Write down the most you are happy to lose before you open a game. Keep that amount separate from everyday spending. Never top it up in the middle of a session because a run has gone badly.
Watch the clock
Long sessions blur your judgement. Set an alarm on your phone, take a break every half hour and walk away when it rings. A short pause often changes how you feel about the next bet.
Never play to recover
A loss is a cost of play, not a debt the casino owes you. Raising stakes to win it back is the pattern that causes the most harm. Stop, rest and come back another day if at all.
Deposit limits and other controls
Deposit limits cap how much you can add to your account over a day, a week or a month. They work best when you set them while calm, before a session begins. A limit you choose in advance protects you from the version of yourself who wants just one more go.
Beyond limits, many players find a cooling-off break useful. A break closes your account to play for a set time, so you cannot log in on impulse. Longer self-exclusion removes access for months or years. If you want any of these steps, ask our support team and we will point you the right way.
Check your own history from time to time. Look at how much you deposited, how long you played and how you felt afterwards. If the numbers surprise you, that is a signal to slow down. Honest records are the quickest way to spot a habit forming.
Warning signs to take seriously
You play for longer than planned
Sessions keep running past the time you set, and you find it hard to stop even when you want to. That loss of control is an early sign worth acting on straight away.
You hide or lie about play
Keeping your gambling secret from family or friends, or downplaying how much you spend, often means it is already causing stress. Talking openly is a strong first step.
Money gets tight
You borrow, skip bills or sell things to fund play. At that point, stop gambling and seek free, confidential help before the situation grows.
Where to get help in Australia
You do not have to handle this alone. Free, confidential support is available across Australia, any hour of the day, from the national gambling help service and from state-based counselling lines. Searching for gambling help in your state will lead you to trained counsellors who listen without judgement.
Family and friends are also affected by someone else's gambling. Support exists for them too, including advice on protecting shared finances. Reaching out early is a sign of strength, and it is far easier than waiting for a crisis.
If you want to talk to us, our support team can explain the controls on your account. Our faq page answers common questions about how the site works, and our terms page sets out the rules that apply to every player.
Responsible gambling questions
How do I set a spending limit?
Decide a fixed amount before each session and keep to it. If you want a limit applied to your account, ask our support team, and we will explain the options open to you.
Can I take a break from playing?
Yes. A break or self-exclusion stops you from playing for a chosen time. Contact our support team to request one, and avoid logging in out of habit while it is active.
What are the signs of a gambling problem?
Common signs include playing longer than planned, chasing losses, hiding your play and struggling with bills. If any of these sound familiar, stop and seek free confidential help.
Who can I talk to for free help?
National and state gambling help services in Australia offer free, confidential counselling. You can also speak with family or a trusted friend about how you feel.
