Responsible Gambling at Drakaris Casino – Built for Players Who Know Their Game
.webp)
Gambling works best when you decide how it fits into your life — not the other way around. At Drakaris Casino, we've built our responsible gambling tools into the account itself, not buried them in a help menu you'd never find unless something had already gone wrong.
Every limit, every pause option, every self-exclusion setting is accessible directly from your account dashboard. No support ticket required. No waiting period to activate a protection you've decided you need right now. The controls are yours, and they work the moment you use them.
This page explains what those tools are, how they work, and where to go if you want to talk to someone outside the casino.
Knowing When to Pay Attention
Most players never need to use a self-exclusion tool. But most players who eventually do wish they'd paid attention to earlier signals. These aren't signs of weakness — they're patterns worth recognising before they compound.
Signs that your relationship with gambling might need a reset:
- Regularly spending more than you planned before opening the app
- Increasing your bet sizes to chase losses from a previous session
- Using gambling as a way to manage stress, anxiety, or low moods
- Borrowing money or redirecting essential funds toward deposits
- Hiding the time or money you've spent from people close to you
- Missing work, family commitments, or personal obligations because of play
If several of these sound familiar, the tools below are a good starting point. And the support organisations listed further down this page are staffed by people who understand exactly what you're going through — confidentially, and without judgment.
Responsible Gambling Tools on Your Drakaris Account
Every tool below is live on your account right now. You don't need to contact support to activate them.
| Tool | How It Works |
|---|---|
| Deposit Limits | Set a maximum deposit amount per day, week, or month |
| Session Time Limits | Cap how long a single gaming session can run |
| Reality Checks | Automated reminders showing session duration and spend |
| Temporary Break | Suspend account access for a defined period you choose |
| Self-Exclusion | Block account access for an extended or permanent period |
One important rule applies to all limit changes: reductions take effect immediately. If you lower your deposit limit from AUD 500 to AUD 100 per week, that limit is active now. Increases, on the other hand, require a cooling-off period before they take effect — this is intentional, and it's there to protect you from impulsive decisions made in the heat of a session.
Setting Limits Before You Start
The most effective responsible gambling tool is one you set before you need it. Decide your limits when you're in a calm, considered headspace — not mid-session when the next spin feels like it's going to turn things around.
From your account settings you can configure:
- Daily, weekly, and monthly deposit caps — the maximum amount you can move into your account in a given period
- Session time limits — a hard stop on how long a single session can run
- Reality check intervals — pop-up reminders at intervals you choose, showing how long you've been playing and what you've wagered
These settings sync across all devices. A limit set on your desktop applies when you open the mobile browser an hour later. There's no loophole.
Taking a Break — Temporary and Extended Options
Not every situation calls for permanent account closure. We offer graduated options so the response fits the situation.
Temporary Break
A short-term pause on your account — you choose the length. During a temporary break:
- You cannot log in or place bets
- Promotional communications are paused
- Your account, balance, and settings are preserved for when you return
This is the right option if you want to step away for a week, a fortnight, or a month without closing everything down permanently.
Self-Exclusion
For situations where a longer break is needed, self-exclusion blocks account access for an extended period. During self-exclusion:
- Login is disabled
- All marketing and promotional messages stop immediately
- Any active bonuses are suspended for the duration
Permanent self-exclusion cannot be reversed. If you're considering this option, take the time to be certain. It's the right call for some players and the wrong one for others — only you know which applies.
To activate any of these options, go directly to your account settings. No email required, no form to submit.
Protecting Young People
Drakaris Casino is strictly for players aged 18 and over. Age is confirmed at registration and verified during the KYC process before any withdrawal is processed.
If you share a device with children or teenagers in your household:
- Keep your Drakaris login credentials private — don't save passwords on shared devices
- Use your device's built-in parental controls to restrict access to gambling sites
- Log out completely at the end of every session on shared hardware
Free third-party filtering tools are available that block access to gambling websites across all browsers on a device. If you have young people in your home, these are worth considering as an additional layer.
All Devices, Same Controls
Your responsible gambling settings apply everywhere. Whether you're on your phone, tablet, or desktop, the same limits and protections are active. A deposit limit set on mobile applies on desktop. A session timer activated in the browser applies the next time you open the app.
One account, one set of rules, no workarounds.

Frequently Asked Questions
Where do I find the responsible gambling tools on my Drakaris account?
They're in your account settings — accessible from the main menu once you're logged in. Deposit limits, session timers, reality checks, and break options are all in the same section. No support contact needed to activate them.
Does lowering my deposit limit take effect immediately?
Yes. Any reduction to an existing limit applies instantly. Increases require a waiting period before they become active — this delay is built in to prevent impulse decisions from overriding a limit you set deliberately.
Can I use responsible gambling tools on my phone?
Yes. All tools and settings are fully functional on mobile through your browser. Limits set on any device apply across your entire account regardless of which device you use next.
What happens to my active bonuses if I self-exclude?
Active bonuses are suspended for the duration of your self-exclusion period. Permanent self-exclusion results in the forfeiture of bonus funds. Real-money balances are handled according to our standard withdrawal process — contact support before activating permanent exclusion if you have funds to withdraw first.
Is Gambling Help Online really free and confidential?
Yes. Gambling Help Online is a government-funded service available to all Australians at no cost. Calls to 1800 858 858 are free from landlines and most mobiles, and the service does not share your information with third parties including gambling operators.
Can I reopen my account after a temporary break?
Yes. A temporary break is exactly that — temporary. Your account, balance, and preferences are preserved and accessible again when the period ends. Self-exclusion is a separate, more serious commitment, and permanent self-exclusion cannot be reversed.
