Responsible Gaming
West28 Casino operates under two Curaçao licences issued by the Gaming Control Board (GC) and the Curaçao Gaming Authority (CGA), providing regulated oversight for player protection and fair gaming.
Gamble for entertainment
Gambling involves risk, and there is no guaranteed way to win. Every bet has an uncertain outcome, and past results do not predict future results. A game that has not produced a win for some time is not necessarily more likely to win on the next turn. In the same way, a previous win does not mean that another win is due. Random outcomes cannot be controlled by patterns, strategies or personal beliefs.
Before you play, decide how much time and money you are comfortable spending. Treat that amount as an entertainment expense, similar to the cost of another leisure activity. Only use money that you can afford to lose after essential costs, savings and financial commitments have been covered. Never use money intended for rent, mortgage payments, bills, food, education or other necessities.
- Set a gambling budget before you start and do not exceed it.
- Set a time limit and take regular breaks from play.
- Keep gambling separate from everyday spending wherever possible.
- Do not chase losses by increasing your bets or playing for longer.
- Do not gamble when you are upset, tired, stressed or under the influence of alcohol or other substances.
- Remember that gambling is not a reliable way to earn income or resolve financial difficulties.
- Avoid borrowing money, using credit for gambling or asking others to fund your play.
- Balance gambling with work, family, social activities and other interests.
It can be useful to keep a record of your deposits, withdrawals, time spent playing and overall results. Reviewing this information may help you see whether your gambling is remaining within the limits you set. If you notice that your actual behaviour does not match your plan, stop playing and consider using additional account controls or seeking support.
Tools to help you stay in control
Responsible gambling tools are designed to help you manage your activity. Depending on the features available on your account, you may be able to set limits on deposits, wagers, losses or the length of a playing session. A limit should be chosen before you play and should reflect an amount you can genuinely afford. Setting a limit does not guarantee that gambling will remain risk-free, but it can provide a useful boundary.
Deposit and spending limits
Consider setting a maximum amount that can be deposited or spent over a selected period. Choose a period and amount carefully, taking your income, household commitments and other expenses into account. Do not increase a limit simply because you have reached it. If a limit is too easy to reach, it may be a sign that your gambling budget needs to be reviewed.
Time-outs and breaks
A short break can help you step away from gambling and review how you are feeling. During a time-out, do not try to recover losses through another account or gambling service. Use the break to focus on sleep, exercise, relationships, work or another activity away from gambling. If you need more time away, consider a longer break or account closure.
Self-exclusion
If you feel unable to control your gambling, self-exclusion may be appropriate. Self-exclusion is a request to prevent or restrict access to your account for a chosen period or until further notice, subject to the options and processes available. Once you request self-exclusion, do not attempt to create another account or gamble through another person’s account. If you ask for help with self-exclusion, provide enough information for the request to be reviewed and followed.
Account controls are most effective when combined with practical steps. Remove saved payment methods where possible, avoid keeping gambling applications readily accessible and tell someone you trust that you are taking a break. These steps can reduce impulsive decisions and give you additional support.
Recognising signs of gambling harm
Gambling harm can develop gradually, and people may not notice the change at first. It can affect finances, mental health, physical wellbeing, relationships, employment and study. You do not need to wait until a serious problem has developed before asking for assistance. Early support can make it easier to regain control.
Possible warning signs include:
- Spending more time or money gambling than you intended.
- Repeatedly trying to win back money that has been lost.
- Feeling restless, irritable or anxious when you cannot gamble.
- Thinking about gambling throughout the day or planning life around it.
- Hiding gambling activity, deposits, losses or account statements from others.
- Borrowing money, selling possessions or missing bills to continue gambling.
- Using gambling to escape stress, sadness, loneliness or other difficult feelings.
- Neglecting work, study, health, family or social responsibilities.
- Arguing with people close to you because of gambling.
- Continuing to gamble despite financial, emotional or relationship problems.
- Feeling guilt, shame or hopelessness after gambling, then returning to play.
- Opening or using other accounts to avoid limits or restrictions.
If any of these signs feel familiar, stop gambling and speak with someone you trust. You can also seek confidential advice from an Australian gambling support service, a qualified counsellor, a health professional or a financial counsellor. Support is available for people who gamble and for family members or friends affected by someone else’s gambling.
If gambling is causing immediate distress or you feel at risk of harming yourself or someone else, seek urgent assistance through appropriate emergency or crisis services in Australia. Your safety is more important than any gambling account, balance or loss.
Protecting yourself and others
West28 Casino expects account holders to provide accurate information and to use their own account. Do not share login details, payment information or access with another person. Keep passwords secure and contact support through the available account or website channels if you believe that someone else has accessed your account. Protecting your account can also help prevent unplanned play and unauthorised transactions.
Gambling should be available only to people who meet the applicable legal age and eligibility requirements. Young people can be particularly vulnerable to gambling harm, so do not allow children or other ineligible people to use your account, device or payment method. Use appropriate device, browser and payment controls if other people in your household may access your technology.
Be cautious of messages or offers that encourage you to gamble more than planned, promise guaranteed winnings or ask for sensitive information. No promotion, feature or reward removes the risks of gambling. Read applicable terms before taking part, and never feel pressured to deposit or continue playing. You can choose not to participate in any offer and can take a break whenever you wish.
If you are concerned about another person’s gambling, approach the conversation calmly and without blame. Explain what you have noticed, listen to their concerns and encourage them to seek professional support. Avoid lending money to cover gambling losses or helping them conceal gambling activity. A support service can provide guidance for affected family members and friends, even if the person who gambles does not want help.
Getting help
If you would like help managing your gambling, use the responsible gaming options available through your account or contact West28 Casino through the support channels shown on the website. You may ask about available limits, time-outs, self-exclusion and account closure. For independent assistance in Australia, consider contacting Gambling Help Online or another recognised gambling support service. These services can offer information, counselling and referral options without requiring you to continue gambling.
Taking a break is a positive step, not a failure. Whether you need to reduce your play, set stronger limits, close your account or speak with a professional, seeking support early can help protect your finances, relationships and wellbeing.
