Five tools

Which Tools Can I Switch On?

Five tools come with the account, and each one answers a different worry before it grows.

What can I pay in each week?

This tool caps what you can put in over a day, a week or a month. Switch it on before your first bet, not after a session that went too far.

Chosen before, not after

Loss limits stop further deposits once your net losses reach the figure you chose. Choose it in a quiet moment, so a losing run cannot talk you into topping up.

Notice the hours passing

Gentle notices mark how long you have been playing, so you can step away on your own terms. Switch them on if sessions tend to stretch longer than you planned.

Closed, not just paused

This closes your account to play and to marketing for a period you choose. Use it when a pause is not enough and you want the door shut rather than merely marked.

How much have I spent so far?

Pop-up summaries show what you have spent and how much time has gone by. Switch them on if numbers slip out of view once a session gets going.

Setting your first cap

From No Cap to a Cap You Chose

After reading this you will have a limit switched on and visible in your account.

Settings area

Sign in to your Doggy Casino account and open the settings area, then find the section headed for limits and control tools.

While you choose a tool

Pick the tool that fits your worry: money coming in, money lost, or hours spent. Each is set separately, so you can use more than one.

Gaining control of your week

Enter your figure in Australian dollars, or choose the reminder interval, and pick whether the cap runs for a day, a week or a month.

Does it show in my account?

Save the change, then return to the limits page to confirm your figure appears there as you set it.

Three Free Services

Free, Confidential, and Answering Right Now

Worrying about who will find out stops most people from calling, and none of these services pass on your details.

When Play Stops Feeling Like Entertainment

Catching these signs early keeps a habit small enough to steer with a deposit limit or a short pause, and neither step has to be permanent. Gambling is entertainment that costs money, never a way to earn it.

If a few of these feel familiar, the next step is a limit rather than a bigger bet.

Playing to win back what you lost
Spending money set aside for bills
Keeping your play from people close to you
Losing track of how long you have played
Feeling restless on days you do not play
Borrowing to keep playing
Playing longer than you meant to

A household watch, not a lecture

Check age before play. Before anyone plays, our registration asks for a date of birth, and players under 18 cannot pass it. Photo ID, proof of address and a card image come before your first withdrawal.

Filter the shared device. Filtering tools bought for the family device can hide gambling sites from every user of it. Switch the filter on before a shared phone or laptop goes into a child's hands.

Who can relatives call? Say what you have noticed about their spending without turning it into a character judgement. The National Gambling Helpline takes calls from worried relatives as well as from players.

A Pause Today, a Stop for Months

Set a Break for Today. It switches off your play for hours or days while you want a gap, and access returns by itself when the period ends. Set it in your account settings whenever you feel play is getting ahead of you.

A Long Close on Access. It closes access to your account for a long stretch, and you cannot shorten it once it starts. Start it from your account settings when a pause no longer feels like enough.

BetStop Registration. It covers licensed wagering providers across Australia and blocks you from betting, opening accounts or receiving marketing. Run by the Australian Government through the ACMA, it lasts at least 3 months, up to lifetime, applied for online in about 5 minutes. betstop.gov.au

Your safeguards

Read this before you lock anything in

The question people ask most: whether one block covers every casino they use.

Does self-exclusion here also stop me at other casinos?+

No. An exclusion set in your Doggy Casino account covers this account only. BetStop is the national register, run by the Australian Government through ACMA, and a listing there applies across licensed online and phone wagering providers.

Can I set a deposit limit from my phone?+

Yes. The mobile version of the site has the same account section as the desktop, so your deposit and loss limits sit in the same place. Nothing about a limit depends on which device you open it from.

What does a short pause actually change in my account?+

A pause stops play for the stretch you choose without closing anything down. Once that stretch ends, your account opens again as normal and your balance stays where you left it.

Where do I go if I want to change a limit later?+

Back to the same place you set it, inside your account. The section keeps your current figures visible, so you can see what is running before you adjust it. Consider any change before you next play, not after a session.

If I exclude myself, can the block be lifted sooner?+

No. A self-exclusion runs for the whole period you picked and is not shortened partway through. That is the point of it: you are deciding now for the version of you who might want back in.

Someone in my family plays too much, who do I ring?+

The National Gambling Helpline on 1800 858 858 takes calls from relatives as well as players, at any hour of any day. Its counsellors can point you to local services, and Gamblers Anonymous Australia runs peer support meetings across the country.
