Responsible Gambling at Hb88 Casino
Responsible Gambling means keeping play enjoyable, informed and within limits that feel right for you. This page helps Australian players review their play, choose a safer-play tool, and take a clear next step when gambling no longer feels comfortable.
Choose the responsible gambling action that fits your situation
You do not need to wait for a serious problem to use a safer-play tool. A limit can help you plan ahead; a short break can create space; and exclusion is available when you want stronger protection.
Gambling Help Online provides free, confidential support across Australia. You can call the Gambling Helpline on 1800 858 858, available 24/7, or use its online support options.
Set personal limits
Choose a deposit, loss, wager or session limit that reflects your budget and available free time.
Set My LimitsTake a cooling-off break
Temporarily pause access when you want time away from gambling without making a long-term commitment.
Start a Cooling-Off PeriodRequest self-exclusion
Use self-exclusion when you want your account closed or blocked for a defined period and marketing stopped.
Request Self-ExclusionSet limits before you start
Limits work best when selected before a session begins. Use amounts you can comfortably afford to spend, never money needed for bills, rent, food, transport or savings goals.
A balanced safer-play plan
Use these categories as a prompt when creating your own boundaries.
Illustrative planning guide, not a spending recommendation.
| Tool | What it helps manage | Practical example | Useful reminder |
|---|---|---|---|
| Deposit limit | The amount added to your account over a set period. | Set a weekly amount that is separate from essential expenses. | Do not increase a limit during a session. |
| Loss limit | The amount you are prepared to lose during the chosen period. | Stop play when the limit is reached, even if you feel tempted to continue. | Gambling should never be used to recover losses. |
| Session limit | How long you spend gambling in one sitting. | Set an alarm before opening a game and leave when it sounds. | Take a proper screen break away from gambling content. |
| Wager limit | The amount you place on individual bets or game rounds. | Choose a level that keeps your total session budget intact. | Lower stakes can make it easier to stay aware of time and spend. |
How a break from play works
A break can be a useful choice when gambling is taking up more time, money or attention than you intended. Select a period that gives you enough distance to reset your routine and think about what support may help next.
Cooling-off and exclusion journey
A simple four-stage process designed to help you act without unnecessary friction.
Decide whether a short cooling-off period or a longer exclusion better matches your needs.
Review your account information so the request can be applied to the right profile.
Your request is processed and gambling access is limited according to the selected option.
Remove gambling triggers, talk with someone you trust and consider confidential support.
- Pause before you decide. Avoid making a decision while chasing losses, under pressure, tired, upset or affected by alcohol or drugs.
- Select the strongest tool you need. A cooling-off period suits a short pause. Self-exclusion is intended for a more substantial and protective break.
- Check related accounts and devices. Sign out, remove saved payment details where possible and unsubscribe from gambling marketing where available.
- Build support around your decision. Tell a trusted person, contact a gambling counsellor or seek financial counselling if gambling has affected your money.
A quick self-check
This check is not a diagnosis. It is a private prompt to notice patterns early and decide whether a limit, break or conversation would be helpful.
Four areas worth checking
Think about the past few weeks, not just one session.
- Time: Are sessions lasting longer than planned?Check
- Money: Are you gambling with essential funds?Check
- Feelings: Is gambling causing stress, guilt or conflict?Check
- Control: Is it difficult to stop after deciding to?Check
A “yes” to any question can be a useful reason to pause and use a safer-play tool. You do not have to handle concerns alone.
Which option gives the right level of protection?
Compare the available paths and choose the one that feels most supportive today. Selecting a stronger option is always okay.
Protect your account, money and wellbeing
Responsible Gambling is easier when your account and daily routine make it simple to pause. Use practical barriers rather than relying on willpower alone.
- Keep gambling funds separate. Do not use credit, borrowed money, shared household money or funds set aside for essentials.
- Turn off saved payment shortcuts. Creating a small pause before depositing can make it easier to reconsider a decision.
- Set a session alarm outside the gambling site. Use your phone or calendar so the reminder is independent of the game or account screen.
- Do not gamble to change your mood. If you are lonely, anxious, angry or distressed, choose another activity or contact support first.

Gambling should be treated as entertainment only. Never gamble with money you cannot afford to lose, and never chase losses.
