Responsible Gambling
At aud99, we believe gambling should always be an enjoyable and responsible form of entertainment. We are committed to offering a safe environment where every player can feel in control of their gameplay. Gambling is designed to be fun, not stressful — and our goal is to ensure you always play for the right reasons and within your means.
Our Responsible Gambling policy is central to everything we do. We take seriously the trust you put in us and are dedicated to promoting fair, transparent, and responsible gaming practices across all our platforms. Whether you play occasionally for fun or enjoy regular gaming sessions, we want you to stay informed, stay safe, and stay in control.
Understanding Responsible Gambling
Responsible gambling means keeping your gaming activities within healthy limits. It’s about understanding that gambling carries risks and that those risks can be managed through informed choices, personal awareness, and practical tools.
Here at aud99, we empower players with education, resources, and safeguards to create a sustainable and enjoyable gaming experience. Our approach includes:
- Encouraging moderation and self-control.
- Protecting minors and vulnerable individuals from accessing gambling services.
- Providing fair and transparent information on games, odds, and payout percentages.
- Offering self-exclusion and limit-setting tools for all players.
- Collaborating with recognized support organizations across Australia.
Gambling as a Form of Entertainment
We believe gambling should always be seen as a form of entertainment — never as a way to make money or solve financial difficulties. The outcome of every game is based on chance, and there is no guaranteed strategy for success.
To maintain a healthy perspective:
- Treat gambling as you would any other leisure activity.
- Set aside only an entertainment budget you can comfortably afford.
- Never chase losses.
- Don’t let gambling replace time with family, friends, or your daily responsibilities.
Remember — just like a night out or a hobby, gambling costs money. You wouldn’t expect a profit from attending a concert or going to the movies, so it’s best to have the same mindset when you play at aud99.
Recognizing Problem Gambling
Although most people can enjoy gambling responsibly, for some, it may become a problem that impacts their wellbeing, relationships, or finances. Problem gambling can develop gradually, and it’s not always easy to recognize the early warning signs.
If you’re starting to wonder whether gambling is negatively affecting your life, take a moment to reflect on the following questions:
- Do you gamble longer than you planned or more money than you intended?
- Do you feel anxious, stressed, or guilty when you lose money?
- Have you tried to cut back, but found it difficult?
- Do you find yourself thinking about gambling even when doing other activities?
- Has gambling caused any financial difficulties or strained relationships?
- Do you hide or lie about how much you gamble?
If you answered “yes” to one or more of these questions, you may be at risk of developing gambling-related harm. There is help available — and the sooner you seek it, the better your chances of regaining control.
How aud99 Helps You Stay in Control
We know that maintaining control is easier when you have the right tools at your fingertips. That’s why aud99 provides a range of practical options designed to help you manage your activity safely and responsibly.
Deposit Limits
You can set daily, weekly, or monthly deposit limits to control how much you can spend over a set period. Once the limit is reached, no additional deposits can be made until the timeframe resets.
Time Limits and Session Reminders
It’s easy to lose track of time while playing online. You can use session reminders or time limits to receive alerts about how long you’ve been playing. These help you maintain playtime awareness and balance gambling with other aspects of your life.
Loss Limits
To avoid chasing losses, you can choose to set loss limits, automatically capping how much you can lose over a chosen period.
Self-Exclusion
If you need a break, aud99 provides temporary or permanent self-exclusion options. Self-exclusion disables your account for a specified timeframe and prevents access to our gambling services. This step can help you regain control and seek additional support if needed.
Reality Checks
Our reality-check notifications periodically remind you of your gaming duration and financial activity. These gentle nudges are designed to keep your awareness sharp and your play in perspective.
To activate or adjust these settings, visit the Responsible Gambling section in your account preferences, or reach out to our Customer Support Team, available 24/7.
Protecting Minors and Vulnerable Players
aud99 maintains a strict policy against underage gambling. We only allow players who are 18 years or older to register or place bets on our platform. Verification checks are regularly conducted to ensure compliance with Australian gambling laws.
To protect minors and vulnerable individuals, we recommend that players:
- Do not allow children to access your devices or accounts.
- Install internet filtering software such as Net Nanny, Cyber Patrol, or Qustodio.
- Avoid saving passwords or payment details on shared devices.
- Speak openly with family members about the importance of responsible play.
If you suspect that a minor has access to a gambling account, please contact our Support Team immediately.

Tips for Responsible Play
If you wish to keep gambling safe and fun, try practicing the following habits:
- Set a fixed budget before you start playing.
- Use the deposit and loss limits available in your account.
- Take regular breaks; don't play when tired, stressed, or under the influence of alcohol.
- Avoid gambling when feeling upset or lonely.
- Keep track of your gameplay and spending.
- Balance gambling with other hobbies, work, and social time.
A simple example: imagine you set aside $100 as entertainment for the week. If you lose that amount, treat it as the cost of your entertainment and move on — just like you would with a movie ticket or a night out.

- Cyber Patrol – Protects against age-inappropriate content.
- Qustodio – Provides detailed parental controls for desktop and mobile.
Implementing these tools ensures that gambling stays where it belongs — among responsible adults who choose to play safely.
Self-Assessment Checklist
If you’re unsure about your relationship with gambling, use this brief self-assessment as a starting point:
- Do you gamble more than you can afford to lose?
- Do you often feel the need to win back money after a loss?
- Has gambling caused you to miss work or important commitments?
- Do you borrow money to continue playing?
- Do you feel restless or irritable if you can’t gamble?
If one or more of these statements resonate, you may benefit from taking a short break or reaching out to Gambling Help Online at 1800 858 858.
