Responsible Gambling
Gambling should always be an enjoyable form of entertainment, not a way to make money or escape problems. This page provides guidance on responsible gambling practices and resources available to Australian players who may need support.
Know the Risks
Online gambling carries financial risk. The house always has a statistical edge across all games. Progressive jackpots and bonus offers do not eliminate this edge — they are entertainment products with wagering requirements and variance. Before playing at any online casino, including Abigcandy, you should:
- Set a firm budget that you can afford to lose completely
- Treat losses as the cost of entertainment, not as money to be recovered
- Never chase losses with larger bets
- Never gamble under the influence of alcohol or when emotionally distressed
- Never borrow money to gamble
Setting Personal Limits
Most regulated casinos, including Abigcandy, offer tools to help you manage your gambling behaviour. These typically include:
- Deposit limits – Set daily, weekly, or monthly caps on how much you can deposit
- Loss limits – Restrict the maximum amount you can lose in a given period
- Session time limits – Set a maximum duration for each gambling session
- Reality checks – Periodic reminders of how long you have been playing
- Self-exclusion – Voluntarily block yourself from accessing the casino for a set period
To access these tools, log in to your Abigcandy account and visit the responsible gambling section, or contact their support team via live chat or email.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
Problem gambling can affect anyone. If you recognise any of the following signs in yourself or someone you know, it may be time to seek help:
- Spending more money or time gambling than intended
- Feeling anxious, irritable, or restless when not gambling
- Gambling to escape problems, loneliness, or negative emotions
- Lying to friends, family, or employers about gambling activity
- Borrowing money or selling possessions to fund gambling
- Failed attempts to cut back or stop gambling
- Gambling affecting your work, relationships, or mental health
Support Resources in Australia
If you are concerned about your gambling or the gambling of someone you know, the following free services are available 24/7 in Australia:
- Gamblers Help – Free counselling, financial advice, and support for people affected by gambling. Call 1800 858 858 (free, 24/7).

Self-Exclusion
If you believe gambling has become a problem, self-exclusion is one of the most effective tools available. You can request a self-exclusion period directly with any casino. In Australia, you can also participate in national exclusion schemes. During an exclusion period, you will be unable to open new accounts or access your existing account at participating operators.
Age Verification
This website and the casino we review are strictly for adults aged 18 and over. If you are under 18, you must not access this site or attempt to register at any online casino. Parents and guardians should use internet filtering tools to prevent minors from accessing gambling content.
Recommended parental control tools include Net Nanny and Gamban (a gambling-specific blocking software).
