Core principles
Put your wellbeing first
Gambling can affect your finances and emotional wellbeing. You can seek help before a situation becomes a crisis.
Keep essential funds safe
Set aside money for housing, food, bills and savings before considering any gambling spend.
Speak with someone
Support is available if you want advice, a break or help for someone you care about.
Potential harms
Know what can go wrong
- Gambling is not a reliable way to earn income.
- Trying to win back losses may lead to spending more.
- Borrowing, hiding gambling or using essential funds are reasons to stop and reassess.
- Promotional credits and free spins may have conditions and do not remove financial risk.
In Australia, ACMA identifies online casino games and online slots as illegal online gambling services. See ACMA consumer guidance.
Spending boundaries
Protect your budget and essentials
Set boundaries in advance
For a lawful service, check which deposit and loss controls are available. A limit is a safeguard, not a spending goal.
- Put essential costs first and do not borrow to gamble.
- Find out when a requested limit change becomes active.
- Confirm whether a control applies to deposits, losses or both.
- If limits are hard to maintain, consider stopping and seeking independent support.
Time boundaries
Manage time and take breaks
- 01
Choose a stopping point
Decide when to finish before you start, and set a reminder outside the gambling service.
- 02
Make time away count
Close the service, silence gambling notifications and switch to another activity.
- 03
Check in with yourself
Notice whether gambling is affecting your sleep, work, relationships or thoughts.
- 04
Get help if stopping is difficult
If you often extend a session or struggle to stop, contact a support service.
Exclusion options
Self-exclusion and access barriers

| BetStop register | BetStop covers Australian licensed online and phone wagering providers, not every gambling service. |

Slots Gallery responsible gambling: guidance for Australian players
What safer gambling involves at Slots Gallery
Treat gambling as paid entertainment, not a way to earn money or recover losses. Slots Gallery responsible gambling means deciding what you can afford to lose and how much time you will spend, then sticking to those boundaries.
Slots Gallery requires players to be at least 18. The site lists Curaçao licence № 8048/JAZ2019-015 and operator Hollycorn N.V.; neither fact makes gambling risk-free or confirms suitability for every Australian player.
Slots Gallery lists over 5,000 games overall. A wide choice can make it harder to track time and spending, so consider any effects on your mood, finances, relationships and responsibilities.
- Set a spending boundary using money left after essential bills and commitments.
- Decide when to stop beforehand; do not chase losses or borrow to gamble.
- Avoid gambling when distressed, intoxicated or under pressure.
- Do not treat gambling as a way to earn income or fix financial problems.
Slots Gallery deposit limits and budgeting
Slots Gallery lists a €20 minimum deposit and a €20 general minimum withdrawal. These are transaction requirements, not recommended budgets; the supplied information does not state a responsible-gambling deposit-limit amount.
Set Slots Gallery deposit limits at an amount you can afford to lose. Check your account settings or contact support to ask about deposit, loss or session controls, how to activate them and when changes take effect. Wait for confirmation before treating a requested limit as active.
Withdrawal minimums depend on the payment method. The listed bank-transfer minimum is €300, while MiFinity and Bitcoin each have a €20 minimum. These are method-specific figures, not universal limits or a reason to deposit more.
Take breaks and notice warning signs
A planned break can help you step back before gambling takes more time or money than intended. Log out, ignore gambling notifications and choose an activity unrelated to casino games.
Warning signs can include repeatedly exceeding a budget, hiding gambling, neglecting responsibilities, feeling unable to stop or gambling to escape difficult feelings. If these patterns appear, pause and talk with someone you trust or a support service instead of gambling more.
Slots Gallery self-exclusion and account controls
Slots Gallery self exclusion is an option to ask about if you want to restrict access to your account. The supplied information does not specify exclusion periods, steps or conditions, so contact support to confirm the process and request written confirmation.
Slots Gallery provides 24/7 live chat, a contact form, email at [email protected] and an FAQ. Ask about self-exclusion, account closure, limit-setting tools and stopping marketing messages. If you need a firm barrier, do not rely on a break alone.
Support services for Australians
If gambling is causing harm, free and confidential help is available in Australia through Gambling Help Online at gamblinghelponline.org.au. The service can offer support and help you consider next steps; contact emergency services if there is immediate danger.
A trusted person may help you stick to a break or spending boundary, and a financial counsellor can assist with money pressures. It is worthwhile to seek support early, whether you are concerned about your own gambling or someone else’s.
