Responsible Gaming

Vave Casino is committed to promoting gambling as entertainment and encouraging players in Australia to make informed, balanced decisions. Gambling should be enjoyable, affordable and undertaken only with money and time you can comfortably spare.

Vave Casino operates under a Curaçao Gaming Authority licence, reference OGL/2024/1676/0905, issued to Chestoption Sociedad De Responsabilidad Limitada under parent group Latcas B.V.

Gamble for entertainment

Gambling involves risk, and there is no guaranteed way to win. Games are based on chance or other outcomes that cannot be predicted with certainty. Previous results do not influence future results, and a losing run does not mean that a win is due. Treat every wager as entertainment rather than as a way to make money, solve financial problems or recover losses.

Before you play, decide how much money and time you are prepared to spend. Consider this amount a leisure expense, similar to money spent on other forms of entertainment. Only use funds that are available after essential costs such as housing, food, utilities, debts and other regular commitments have been covered. Never gamble with borrowed money, money needed for living expenses or funds set aside for important purposes.

Set a personal budget before starting a gaming session.
Set a time limit and take regular breaks.
Keep track of deposits, wagers and results rather than relying on memory.
Avoid gambling when you feel upset, stressed, tired or affected by alcohol or other substances.
Do not chase losses by increasing wager sizes or continuing for longer than planned.
Remember that gambling outcomes are independent and cannot be controlled through systems, patterns or rituals.
Balance online gaming with work, study, family, social activities and rest.

A budget is most useful when it is decided in advance and followed consistently. If you reach your spending or time limit, stop playing. Do not treat an available balance, promotional credit or a potential win as income. Take time to review your activity regularly so that your gambling remains within the limits you have chosen.

Tools and practical ways to stay in control

Account controls can help you manage your gambling. Depending on the features available for your account and the requirements that apply to the service, you may be able to request controls relating to deposits, spending, session time or access. Limits are intended to support your personal plan, but they work best when combined with honest self-monitoring and a clear budget.

Set limits before you play

Choose limits that reflect what you can afford to lose and the amount of time you want to spend. A lower limit may be appropriate if you are uncertain about your budget. Once a limit is set, avoid asking for it to be increased during a gaming session or after a loss. Any available limit settings, waiting periods or changes to account access may be subject to applicable rules and platform processes.

Use breaks and time-outs

A short break can help you reassess how you feel and whether you still want to continue. If you notice that you are playing longer or spending more than intended, consider taking a longer time-out. During a break, move away from the service, review your budget and do something unrelated to gambling.

Consider self-exclusion

Self-exclusion is a stronger restriction for people who want to stop gambling for a defined period or indefinitely. If you request self-exclusion, access to relevant services may be restricted in accordance with the applicable process. Self-exclusion should be taken seriously. Do not attempt to create another account or use another person’s account to get around a restriction, and do not provide your account to someone else.

Decide whether you need a spending limit, a time-out or full self-exclusion.
Contact the available support or account team through the service’s official channels.
Provide the information needed to apply the requested restriction.
Follow the restriction and remove access to gambling apps, websites or payment methods where practical.
Seek additional support if controlling gambling remains difficult.

Account tools cannot remove all gambling-related risks. You remain responsible for monitoring your behaviour, protecting your login details and ensuring that other people cannot use your account. If you share a device, use appropriate privacy and security settings and log out after each session.

Recognising when gambling may be a problem

Problem gambling can affect anyone, regardless of age, income, experience or background. It may develop gradually, and a person may not recognise the impact until gambling affects finances, relationships, work, study, health or daily routines. Early action can reduce harm.

Consider taking a break and seeking support if any of the following statements apply to you:

You gamble for longer or spend more than you planned.
You feel restless, irritable or anxious when you try to stop.
You keep gambling to win back money you have lost.
You hide, minimise or misrepresent your gambling activity.
You borrow money, sell possessions or miss payments to continue gambling.
You use gambling to escape stress, loneliness, sadness or other difficult feelings.
Gambling affects your sleep, work, study, relationships or responsibilities.
You have tried to cut down or stop but have not been able to do so.
You feel guilty, ashamed or distressed about your gambling.
Other people have expressed concern about how you gamble.

One sign may be enough to justify a pause. You do not need to wait for a serious financial loss or crisis before asking for help. Speak openly with someone you trust, stop gambling and consider using account restrictions. A support service or qualified professional can help you understand what is happening and identify practical next steps.

If gambling is connected with thoughts of self-harm, immediate danger, family violence or another urgent safety concern, stop gambling and seek immediate assistance from emergency services or an appropriate crisis support service in your area. Your safety comes first.

Support, age requirements and our approach

If you are concerned about your gambling, support is available through gambling-harm services, counselling organisations, health professionals and community support providers in Australia. You can also speak with a trusted family member, friend or colleague. Independent support may help you create a plan, manage triggers, address financial concerns and rebuild routines without judgement.

People who are under the legal gambling age must not use gambling services. Do not allow a child or another unauthorised person to access your account, payment method or device for gambling. Parents and carers may wish to use device controls, payment protections and privacy settings to reduce the risk of underage access.

Vave Casino may apply account checks, restrictions or other measures where required by law, platform rules or responsible gambling procedures. We may also respond to requests for limits, time-outs or self-exclusion through the processes available at the time. These measures are not a substitute for professional support, and they cannot guarantee that harm will never occur.

Our responsible gambling information is general in nature and does not provide medical, psychological, legal or financial advice. Requirements, available tools and access arrangements may vary according to your location and the rules that apply to the service. Please review the relevant account information and terms before using any feature.

If you are unsure whether gambling remains appropriate for you, the safest choice is to stop and seek advice before continuing. Responsible gambling means staying within your limits, recognising risk early and taking action when gambling is no longer enjoyable or affordable.
