Spinit Responsible Gaming

Gambling as Entertainment

Spinit is built to be played for entertainment, not as a way to generate income or recover previous losses. Setting a budget before a session begins, and treating that amount as the cost of entertainment rather than money expected to return, is the single most effective habit a player can adopt. Chasing losses by increasing stakes or extending a session beyond the planned budget is one of the clearest early signs that play has moved away from entertainment.

Signs of Problem Gambling Behaviour

Spending more time or money on Spinit than originally intended, feeling irritable or anxious when not playing, borrowing money to fund deposits, or hiding the extent of play from family members are all recognised signs that gambling behaviour may be becoming a problem. Neglecting work, study, or relationships in favour of playing, and continuing to gamble despite a clear negative impact on daily life, are further warning signs that warrant a pause and, where needed, outside support.

Age Verification

Registration at Spinit is restricted to individuals aged 18 or over across every state and territory of Australia, with no variation by region. Identity documents submitted during KYC verification, including an Australian driver’s licence, passport, or Medicare card, are checked to confirm a player’s date of birth before full account access is granted. Parents and guardians sharing a household device with a minor are encouraged to use device level parental control software, since these tools operate independently of any check performed at the account level.

Self-Limitation Tools

Spinit provides a set of account controls that let a player shape their own play without needing to contact support first. Deposit limits, loss limits, and wager limits can each be set on a daily, weekly, or monthly basis directly from account settings. Session time reminders prompt a player at a chosen interval, and a cooling-off period temporarily blocks access to the account for a set number of days. Self-exclusion suspends the account for a longer period chosen by the player. Tightening any of these limits takes effect immediately, while loosening a limit or shortening a self-exclusion period only takes effect after a cooling-off interval has passed, preventing an impulsive reversal during a difficult moment.

Where to Get Help

Players in Australia who want support beyond the tools available in account settings have access to independent national services. Gambling Help Online offers free, confidential support around the clock, including by phone on 1800 858 858. BetStop, the National Self-Exclusion Register, is an Australian Government initiative that lets a person exclude themselves from licensed Australian gambling services; it operates alongside, not in place of, the self-exclusion tool available directly in Spinit account settings. Lifeline provides 24 hour crisis support on 13 11 14 for anyone in personal crisis, including where gambling is a contributing factor. Gamblers Anonymous Australia runs peer support groups for individuals who want to talk to others with similar experiences. Reaching out to any of these services is free and confidential, and taking that step is a sign of taking control, not a failure.
