Responsible Gaming at Cobber Casino
Responsible gaming is a core operational principle applied across the platform. All gaming activity is structured to remain secure, controlled, and entertainment-focused. This Responsible Gaming Policy is designed to support early awareness of potential risks and to promote preventative measures in line with regulatory standards applied within Cobber Casino AU.
Core Principles of Responsible Gaming
Gaming activity is intended to remain transparent, balanced, and fully controlled by the player. Informed decisions regarding playtime, spending levels, and participation frequency are encouraged to ensure a stable and responsible gaming environment.
Recognising Gambling Addiction
While gaming is primarily a leisure activity, certain behavioural patterns may indicate developing risk. Early identification of such indicators is essential for prevention and intervention.
Common warning signs may include:
- Gradual increase in wager amounts
- Attempts to recover losses through continued play
- Emotional changes linked to gaming outcomes
- Neglect of professional, educational, or personal obligations
Professional support should be sought immediately if these signs are observed.
Staying in Control While Playing
Deposit Limits
Players may set daily, weekly, or monthly deposit limits to manage expenditure and maintain financial control.
Session Limits
Session duration limits can be configured to automatically pause gameplay once the defined time threshold is reached.
Self-Exclusion
Account restriction options are available for players requiring a break from gaming activity.
- Temporary exclusion: Account access is suspended for a selected period
- Permanent exclusion: Account access is blocked indefinitely, with potential review after six months subject to identity verification
Gambling Addiction Self-Assessment
Self-assessment tools are available to help evaluate gaming behaviour through short questionnaires. Results may indicate safe play, elevated risk, or problematic patterns.
If risk indicators are identified, setting limits or consulting qualified support professionals is recommended.
Support for Problem Gambling
Support resources are promoted to encourage responsible decision-making. Recommended actions include:
- Closing active gaming accounts
- Consulting licensed addiction specialists
- Discussing concerns with trusted individuals
Seeking assistance is considered a responsible and proactive measure.
Maintaining Balance Between Entertainment and Responsibility
Gaming activity should never interfere with essential living expenses or daily responsibilities. Spending allocated for necessities such as housing, food, or utilities should not be used for gambling.
Understanding probabilities and inherent risk factors is essential for maintaining a balanced perspective on gaming.
Protection of Minors
Access to the platform is strictly limited to individuals aged 18 or above, or those meeting the legal gambling age in their jurisdiction. Identity verification procedures are applied to prevent underage participation.

Account Security Guidelines
To support account safety:
- Do not share login credentials or PINs
- Use strong, unique passwords and update them regularly
- Review login activity after each session
- Use secure network connections only
- Avoid sharing payment information with unverified parties
