Our Commitment to Safer Play
At LevelUp Casino, gambling is meant to be a form of entertainment, not a financial strategy or a way to cope with stress. We take our responsibility seriously and have built a range of practical measures to help Australian players stay in control of their gaming habits. This page outlines the tools available to you, the warning signs worth knowing, and the organisations you can turn to if things become difficult.
We comply fully with Australian consumer protection standards and follow the guidelines set out under the Interactive Gambling Act 2001 (Cth) and relevant state-level legislation. Every player who registers with LevelUp Casino has access to the responsible gambling features described below, free of charge and without restriction.
Know Before You Play
Understanding how gambling works is the first step toward keeping it enjoyable. A few things worth keeping in mind before you start any session:
- All casino games are governed by random number generators. Outcomes are independent of previous results, and no strategy guarantees a win.
- The house edge means that over a large number of bets, the casino will statistically retain a portion of all money wagered. Entertainment comes from the experience of play, not from expected profit.
- Chasing losses, that is, increasing bets in an attempt to recover money already lost, is one of the most common patterns that leads to problem gambling.
- Gambling while affected by alcohol, drugs, or strong emotions tends to lead to decisions players later regret.
- Only ever gamble with money you can afford to lose. Never use funds set aside for rent, bills, food, or other essential expenses.
Player Protection Tools at LevelUp Casino
Deposit Limits
You can set a daily, weekly, or monthly cap on how much you deposit into your LevelUp Casino account. Once a limit is in place, it takes effect immediately and cannot be increased without a cooling-off period. To request or adjust a deposit limit, contact our support team at connect@levelup-cassino-austalia.com or call us on +61 3 9654 1255.
Loss Limits
A loss limit caps the amount you can lose within a set timeframe. If you reach your chosen threshold, you will be unable to continue wagering until the period resets. This tool is particularly useful for players who find it difficult to walk away after a run of bad luck.
Session Time Limits
You can set a maximum length for each gaming session. When your chosen time is up, you will receive a notification and, depending on your settings, be automatically logged out. Taking regular breaks helps you make clearer decisions and keeps gambling in perspective.
Reality Checks
LevelUp Casino can send you periodic on-screen reminders showing how long you have been playing and how much you have wagered during that session. These prompts are designed to give you an honest snapshot of your activity without interrupting gameplay unnecessarily.
Self-Exclusion
If you feel you need to step away from gambling for a period, self-exclusion lets you block access to your LevelUp Casino account for a minimum period of your choosing. During the exclusion window, you will not be able to deposit funds, place bets, or receive any promotional communications from us.
To activate self-exclusion, please contact us directly:
- Email: connect@levelup-cassino-austalia.com
- Phone: +61 3 9654 1255
- In person: Level 12, 120 Collins Street, Melbourne VIC 3000, Australia (Monday to Saturday, 9AM to 6PM)
Self-exclusion requests are processed promptly. Once activated, the exclusion cannot be lifted early.
Account Closure
If you decide you no longer want to hold an account with LevelUp Casino, you can request permanent closure at any time. We will ensure your balance is returned and that you are removed from all marketing lists.
National Self-Exclusion: BetStop
Australia operates a national self-exclusion register called BetStop, administered by the Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA). Registering with BetStop means you will be excluded from all licensed interactive wagering services operating in Australia, not just LevelUp Casino. It is a free service available to all Australians.
You can register at www.betstop.gov.au or by calling 1800 238 786.
LevelUp Casino checks new registrations against the BetStop register and does not knowingly allow excluded individuals to open or use accounts.
Recognising Problem Gambling
Problem gambling rarely announces itself clearly. It tends to develop gradually, and the people most affected are often the last to notice. The following patterns can be early or established warning signs:
- Spending more time or money gambling than you originally intended
- Feeling irritable or anxious when you are not gambling
- Gambling to escape boredom, loneliness, anxiety, or depression
- Hiding gambling activity from family members or close friends
- Borrowing money or selling possessions to fund gambling
- Missing work, social obligations, or family events because of gambling
- Repeated failed attempts to cut back or stop
- Continuing to gamble after significant financial, personal, or relationship harm
If several of these descriptions feel familiar, speaking to someone who understands gambling-related harm can make a real difference. The services listed below are confidential and genuinely helpful.

Protecting Younger People
LevelUp Casino does not permit anyone under the age of 18 to create an account or participate in any form of gambling on our platform. Age verification is carried out during the registration process, and additional checks may be requested at any point.
We encourage parents and guardians to use content filtering tools to prevent minors from accessing gambling websites. Software such as Gamban or parental controls built into major browsers and operating systems can help restrict access at a device level.
If you suspect that a minor has accessed a gambling site, please contact us immediately at connect@levelup-cassino-austalia.com.
Keeping Your Account Secure
Shared account access is a concern in households where one person has a gambling problem. To protect everyone involved:
- Never share your LevelUp Casino login credentials with another person.
- Log out of your account after each session, especially on shared or public devices.
- Enable two-factor authentication where available.
- If you believe your account has been accessed without your permission, contact us immediately.
Advertising and Marketing
LevelUp Casino does not direct gambling advertising at people who have self-excluded or requested to be removed from marketing communications. If you continue to receive promotional material after opting out, please notify us and we will resolve the issue without delay.
We do not use advertising that targets children or that presents gambling as a solution to financial difficulty.
