The essentials first, the details after

The Sunday you decide

Tools you set before play, not after a loss

By the end you will know which control matches your situation and where it lives.

A ceiling you choose

This caps how much you can add to the account, so a spend is decided ahead of time rather than during play. Switch it on whenever you want a fixed ceiling on the money you put in.

Time reminder

A reminder appears at intervals you choose, so a long session stops being invisible. Turn it on if hours slip past without you noticing the clock.

The night you step back

A cooling-off period takes a break from the account for a set stretch. Reach for it when you want distance for a while but expect to come back.

When stopping needs to be firm

Self-exclusion closes access to your account for a longer, chosen term. Choose it when a pause is not enough and you want no way back in.

Check the clock yourself

Reality checks show how long you have been playing and what you have spent so far. Set them if knowing the figures as you go keeps you steady.

How a cap gets set

Set a limit and know it sticks

Plain steps, no jargon, the same calm route our support team walks you through.

Your own details first

Log in with your email address and open the profile menu. Check your details are current, since reminders and limits follow that account.

Responsible gambling section

Inside the profile, open the responsible gambling or limits section. Everything you set there stays on the account rather than in a chat.

Pick the cap that fits

Choose deposit limits as your starting control. Decide the figure before a session begins, and pick an amount you can part with calmly.

Is the limit showing?

Save the change, then reopen the limits section and confirm the new figure is listed. If it is missing, our live chat will check it.

Choose how long your break lasts

Hours back in your own hands. A time-out freezes your play for a few hours or days, and you switch it on yourself from your account settings. Betting stops the moment it starts, and nothing is lost from your balance while it runs.

A door that stays shut. Self-exclusion closes your access for a long period, and it cannot be undone early. Raise it from your account settings and the casino keeps you out until the full term ends, with no way back in before then.

Put your name on BetStop. BetStop is the Australian Government register run by ACMA, and a listing lasts at least 3 months, up to lifetime. You apply at betstop.gov.au in about 5 minutes, and a support person can be nominated to help you through it. betstop.gov.au

The moment play turns into pressure

Caught in the first weeks, a habit is still easy to reshape. Setting a ceiling before you play, or taking a pause, is the simplest first step, and it works best while the choice still feels like yours.

Read these slowly and see which ones you recognise from the last few weeks.

Playing past the time you planned
Chasing a loss with a bigger deposit
Hiding your play from someone close
Borrowing money to keep playing
Thinking about the next session at work
Feeling flat when you are not playing
Promising to stop, then playing again

At that moment

Read these before you set anything

The worry that a safety tool will lock you out for good, or leak to other sites you use.

Why does the casino ask for proof of age before I can play?+

Access to Mafia Casino is limited to people aged 18 or over. Age is checked at verification, so a person under that age cannot hold an account or place a bet. This protects young people first and keeps every account legally valid.

What does a short pause do to my account and when can I play again?+

A cooling-off period locks the account for the stretch you pick, so you can log in and read your history but not deposit or play. When the window ends, access returns by itself, with nothing to request. Check your account section for the lengths offered here before you confirm.

Does self-exclusion at this casino stop me betting elsewhere as well?+

No, it applies to your Mafia Casino account only. The stronger option for Australia is BetStop, the national self-exclusion register run by the Australian Government through ACMA, which covers licensed online and phone wagering providers. Registering there means those providers must refuse your bets, close your accounts and stop all marketing.

Can I ask for a self-exclusion to be lifted sooner than I chose?+

No, it runs for the whole period you selected and cannot be shortened by the casino. The firm break exists so a decision made in a hard moment is not undone in an easier one. If you register with BetStop, early cancellation is possible only after at least 3 months and needs a statutory declaration that you have seen a counsellor or GP.

Is the deposit limit page the same in the mobile version of my account?+

Yes, the phone layout carries the same account controls as the desktop version. You open your profile, pick a cap and see it confirmed on screen before it holds. Nothing on a smaller screen is missing or watered down.

What can I do if a family member is playing too much?+

Ring the National Gambling Helpline on 1800 858 858, which answers 24 hours a day, every day, and supports relatives as well as players. Free chat and email counselling, self-help tools and a directory of local services sit behind that number. Gamblers Anonymous Australia also runs peer meetings for families across the country.
