Responsible Gambling at West28 Casino
At West28 Casino, 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. Our Responsible Gambling policy is designed to help you stay in control and enjoy your experience responsibly.
Our Commitment to Responsible Gambling
West28 Casino operates under a strict responsible gambling framework in compliance with Australian gambling regulations and the guidelines set by the National Gambling Helpline. We actively promote responsible play and provide tools to help our players manage their gambling habits effectively.
Know the Signs of Problem Gambling
Problem gambling can affect anyone. It's important to recognise the warning signs early:
- Spending more money or time gambling than you intended
- Chasing losses in an attempt to win back money
- Neglecting work, family, or personal responsibilities due to gambling
- Borrowing money or selling possessions to fund gambling
- Feeling anxious, irritable, or restless when not gambling
- Lying to friends or family about your gambling habits
- Using gambling as a way to cope with stress, depression, or anxiety
If you recognise any of these signs in yourself or someone you know, we strongly encourage you to seek help immediately.
Responsible Gambling Tools at West28
We provide a range of tools to help you stay in control of your gambling activity. You can access these tools at any time through your account settings or by contacting our support team.
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.
Session Time Limits
Set a maximum session duration to control how long you play in a single sitting. You will receive a notification when your session limit is approaching.
Loss Limits
Define the maximum amount you are willing to lose over a set period. Once your loss limit is reached, you will be unable to continue playing until the period resets.
Reality Checks
Enable regular pop-up reminders that show you how long you have been playing and how much you have spent during your current session.
Self-Exclusion
If you feel you need a break from gambling, you can self-exclude from West28 Casino for a period of your choosing — from 1 month up to 5 years, or permanently. During self-exclusion, your account will be suspended and you will not receive any promotional materials from us.
To activate self-exclusion, please contact our support team directly:

- Live Chat: Available 24/7 on our website
- Phone: 1800 WEST28 (1800 937 828) — available Monday to Friday, 9:00 AM – 6:00 PM AEST
Account Cooling-Off Period
You can request a short cooling-off period of 24 hours, 48 hours, or 7 days if you feel you need a temporary break without committing to a full self-exclusion.
National Self-Exclusion Register — 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, confidential, and can be done online or by calling 1800 238 786. Self-exclusion periods range from 3 months to a lifetime ban.
