My Empire Casino Responsible Gaming Policy

At My Empire Casino, we believe that entertainment should never come at the cost of your wellbeing. Responsible gambling is not just a legal obligation — it is a core value woven into everything we do. Whether you are enjoying a casual session on the pokies or exploring our live dealer tables, My Empire Casino responsible gambling measures are in place to keep your experience safe, controlled, and enjoyable. This page outlines our full commitment to player protection, the safer gambling tools available to every account holder, and the Australian and international support organisations ready to assist anyone who needs help. We encourage every player to gamble responsibly, set personal boundaries, and reach out for gambling help whenever it is needed.

Our Commitment to Responsible Gaming

My Empire Casino is operated by a company registered in Curaçao and licensed by the Government of Curaçao. As part of our licensing obligations and our own ethical standards, we maintain a robust framework of responsible gaming practices. We are committed to providing a transparent, fair, and safe environment for all players. My Empire Casino safe gambling policies apply from the moment you create an account, ensuring that gambling control is always in your hands.

We recognise that for a small number of people, gambling can evolve from a leisure activity into something more harmful. Our goal is to give every player the knowledge, tools, and resources to play responsibly before any issues arise — and to provide a clear pathway to support if they do. My Empire Casino gambling control tools are built directly into your account dashboard and are available at any time, free of charge.

Understanding Problem Gambling

Problem gambling — sometimes called gambling addiction — can affect anyone, regardless of their age, background, or income. It is characterised by an inability to control gambling behaviour despite negative consequences. Understanding the early warning signs is essential for maintaining a healthy relationship with gambling.

Financial Warning Signs

• Spending more than you can afford to lose on a regular basis
• Borrowing money or selling possessions to fund gambling sessions
• Chasing losses by placing increasingly larger bets
• Neglecting bills, rent, or other financial responsibilities due to gambling
• Concealing gambling expenditure from family members or partners

Emotional Warning Signs

• Feeling anxious, irritable, or restless when unable to gamble
• Using gambling as a way to escape stress, depression, or personal problems
• Feeling guilt or shame after gambling sessions
• Repeatedly trying to cut back or stop gambling without success
• Preoccupation with gambling — constantly thinking about the next session

Social Warning Signs

• Withdrawing from friends, family, or hobbies to spend more time gambling
• Lying to loved ones about how much time or money is spent on gambling
• Neglecting work, study, or family responsibilities
• Relationships becoming strained or breaking down as a result of gambling behaviour

If you recognise any of these signs in yourself or someone you care about, we strongly encourage you to use the safer gambling tools available on My Empire Casino and to reach out to one of the support organisations listed at the bottom of this page.

Self-Assessment Questionnaire

Not sure whether your gambling habits are healthy? Ask yourself the following questions honestly. If you answer "yes" to two or more, it may be time to seek gambling help or apply some of the gambling control measures outlined below.

1. Do you find yourself gambling with money you cannot afford to lose?
2. Have you ever lied to someone close to you about how much you gamble?
3. Do you feel the need to gamble with larger amounts of money to get the same thrill?
4. Have you tried to cut down on gambling but found it difficult?
5. Do you gamble to escape worries, loneliness, or feelings of anxiety?
6. Have you ever borrowed money or sold something to fund gambling?
7. Do you feel irritable or restless when you try to stop or reduce gambling?
8. Has gambling ever caused problems with your relationships, work, or finances?
9. Do you feel compelled to return and win back money you have lost?
10. Have you ever considered or attempted any form of illegal act to fund gambling?

This self-assessment is for guidance only and does not constitute a clinical diagnosis. We recommend consulting a qualified counsellor or one of the organisations listed below if you have concerns about problem gambling or gambling addiction.

My Empire Casino Safer Gambling Tools

My Empire Casino provides a comprehensive suite of safer gambling tools that you can activate directly from your account at any time. These tools are designed to give you complete gambling control over your activity, spending, and playtime. All limits take effect immediately once set, and increases to any limit are subject to a 24-hour cooling-off period to prevent impulsive decisions.

Deposit Limits

Deposit limits allow you to cap the total amount of money you deposit into your My Empire Casino account over a defined period. You can set:

• Daily deposit limits — a maximum deposit amount per calendar day
• Weekly deposit limits — a cumulative cap over a rolling 7-day period
• Monthly deposit limits — a total ceiling for any 30-day period

Setting deposit limits is one of the simplest and most effective ways to maintain gambling control and ensure you never spend beyond your budget. To reduce a deposit limit, the change takes effect immediately. To increase it, you must wait 24 hours — this deliberate delay helps prevent heat-of-the-moment decisions.

Bet Limits

Bet limits allow you to set a maximum stake per individual wager. This ensures that a single impulsive bet cannot significantly impact your bankroll. My Empire Casino safe gambling guidelines recommend setting bet limits alongside deposit limits for maximum protection.

Loss Limits

Loss limits cap the total amount you can lose within a set timeframe — daily, weekly, or monthly. Once your loss limit is reached, you will not be able to place further wagers until the period resets. My Empire Casino recommends using loss limits in combination with deposit limits for a layered approach to responsible gambling.

Session Limits

Session limits restrict the total amount of time you can spend gambling in a single sitting. You can set session limits ranging from 30 minutes to several hours. When your session time is up, you will receive a notification and be automatically logged out. Session limits are a powerful tool for preventing the "time distortion" effect that can occur during extended gambling sessions.

Cooling-Off Period

If you feel you need a short break from gambling without committing to a full self-exclusion, a cooling-off period is the right option. My Empire Casino offers cooling-off periods of:

• 24 hours
• 48 hours
• 7 days
• 30 days

During a cooling-off period, your account is temporarily suspended. You cannot log in, deposit, or place bets. The cooling-off period cannot be cancelled once activated — it must run its full course. This ensures a genuine break from gambling activity.

Self-Exclusion

For players who need a longer or permanent break, My Empire Casino offers a full self-exclusion programme. Self-exclusion is a formal commitment to stop gambling for a defined period. Once activated, your account is completely locked and you will not receive any promotional communications from us. Self-exclusion options at My Empire Casino include:

• 6 months
• 1 year
• 5 years
• Permanent (indefinite) self-exclusion

We take self-exclusion seriously. If you request permanent self-exclusion, your account will be closed and cannot be reopened under any circumstances. To request self-exclusion, contact our support team via live chat or email at [email protected]. Our team processes all self-exclusion requests as a matter of priority.

Activity Monitoring and Account Alerts

My Empire Casino uses automated activity monitoring tools to identify patterns of behaviour that may indicate problem gambling. If our systems detect unusual activity — such as significantly increased bet sizes, extended sessions, or frequent large deposits — we may proactively reach out to offer support or suggest you review your safer gambling tools.

In addition, you can view a full history of your gambling activity — deposits, withdrawals, bets placed, and session durations — directly within your account. Reviewing your activity history regularly is a healthy habit and a cornerstone of responsible gaming. Transparency about your own behaviour is the first step towards staying in control.

The 8 Golden Rules of Safe Gambling

Following these eight principles will help you maintain a healthy and enjoyable relationship with online gambling at My Empire Casino:

1. Set a budget before you play — Decide how much you are willing to spend and stick to it. Use our deposit limits to enforce your budget automatically.
2. Treat gambling as entertainment, not income — Online casino games are designed for fun. Never rely on gambling winnings to pay bills or expenses.
3. Never chase losses — If you have reached your loss limit, stop. Chasing losses is one of the most common patterns of problem gambling.
4. Take regular breaks — Use our session limits to ensure you step away regularly. Set a timer if needed.
5. Do not gamble when emotional — Avoid gambling when you are stressed, upset, depressed, or under the influence of alcohol. Emotional states impair decision-making.
6. Balance gambling with other activities — Healthy hobbies, social connections, and physical activity are all important counterweights to gambling time.
7. Understand the games — Familiarise yourself with the rules and odds of any game before wagering real money. Knowledge reduces impulsive decision-making.
8. Ask for help early — If you notice any warning signs, act early. Contact Gambling Help Online on 1800 858 858 or reach out to our support team.

Protecting Minors

My Empire Casino operates a strict age verification policy. All players must be 18 years of age or older to register and play. We conduct mandatory KYC (Know Your Customer) checks before processing any withdrawal, which includes verification of age and identity. Any account found to belong to a minor will be immediately closed and any funds returned.

We are also committed to preventing underage individuals from accessing our platform through shared devices or family computers. If you share your home with children or teenagers, we strongly recommend taking the following precautions:

• Never share your My Empire Casino login credentials with anyone
• Always log out of your account after each session
• Keep passwords confidential and stored securely
• Enable device-level parental controls where available

Tips for Parents

Talking to your children about online gambling is an important part of digital literacy in Australia today. Encourage open conversations about the risks of gambling and make clear that it is an adults-only activity. Monitor internet usage and be alert to any unusual interest in gambling-related content. If you suspect a young person in your household may be accessing gambling sites, contact the platform's support team and install appropriate filtering software immediately.

Parental Control Software

The following parental control tools can help restrict access to gambling websites and other age-restricted content:

All three tools allow parents to block gambling category websites across browsers and apps, giving you peace of mind that your children cannot access My Empire Casino or any other online gambling platform.

Gambling Blocking Software

Beyond parental controls, there is a range of dedicated gambling blocking software designed specifically for adults who want to restrict their own access to gambling sites. These tools are particularly useful as a complement to self-exclusion and cooling-off period measures:

We recommend using blocking software alongside My Empire Casino account-level tools for a comprehensive approach to safe gambling. These external tools provide an additional layer of protection that operates independently of any individual casino platform.

Frequently Asked Questions About Responsible Gambling at My Empire Casino

What is responsible gambling and why does it matter?

Responsible gambling refers to a set of behaviours and practices that allow players to enjoy gambling as a safe form of entertainment without it negatively impacting their finances, relationships, or mental health. It matters because gambling can become problematic for some individuals, and having the right tools and knowledge in place helps prevent gambling addiction before it develops. My Empire Casino responsible gambling policies are designed to support every player in maintaining healthy habits.

How do I set deposit limits on My Empire Casino?

Log in to your account, go to the Responsible Gaming section in your account settings, and select Deposit Limits. You can choose daily, weekly, or monthly deposit limits and set the amount that works for your budget. Reductions take effect immediately; increases require a 24-hour waiting period. This built-in delay is an important feature of My Empire Casino gambling control — it prevents impulsive decisions to raise your limits in the heat of the moment.

What is the difference between a cooling-off period and self-exclusion?

A cooling-off period is a short, temporary break from gambling lasting between 24 hours and 30 days. It is ideal for players who need to step back briefly without a long-term commitment. Self-exclusion, on the other hand, is a formal, longer-term measure that locks your account for a minimum of 6 months and up to permanently. During both a cooling-off period and self-exclusion, you cannot log in, deposit, or place bets. Self-exclusion also stops all marketing communications from My Empire Casino.

Can I reverse self-exclusion early?

No. Once you activate self-exclusion, it cannot be reversed before the chosen period expires. This is intentional — it ensures the measure provides genuine protection rather than a superficial barrier. For permanent self-exclusion, the decision is irreversible. We take our commitment to player protection very seriously, and reversing protective measures prematurely would undermine their purpose.

What should I do if I think I have a gambling problem?

If you believe you may have a gambling addiction or signs of problem gambling, we encourage you to take the following steps immediately: activate a cooling-off period or self-exclusion on your My Empire Casino account; contact Gambling Help Online on 1800 858 858 (free, 24/7); install gambling blocking software such as Gamban or BetBlocker; and speak to a trusted friend, family member, or counsellor. Seeking gambling help early is the most effective way to prevent a problem from escalating.

Does My Empire Casino share my responsible gambling data with third parties?

No. All responsible gaming preferences, limit settings, and self-exclusion requests are handled in strict confidence in accordance with our Privacy Policy. Your data is used solely to manage your player protection settings and is not shared with third parties except where required by law or our licensing authority.

Are the safer gambling tools free to use?

Yes. All safer gambling tools available at My Empire Casino — including deposit limits, loss limits, session limits, bet limits, cooling-off period, and self-exclusion — are completely free of charge for all registered players. My Empire Casino is committed to ensuring that gambling control tools are always accessible, regardless of how much you deposit or how often you play.
