Responsible Gaming

Responsible gaming at the-ville.casino is founded on the principle of empowering guests to enjoy gambling entertainment safely and consciously. Our objective is to encourage recreational play, minimizing risk and supporting positive behaviors. If you require advice or assistance, theville's dedicated team is committed to providing guidance and support throughout your experience.

Risk Awareness

OBSERVE: Australian law and industry best practice require online gambling operators to clearly inform users about risk factors and signs of harmful gambling. EXPAND: In addition to regulatory basics, psychological cues and behavioral indicators must be outlined, accompanied by self-evaluation. REFLECT: This ensures that players are equipped to identify harmful patterns and take early action.

  • Common Signs of Gambling Harm:
    • Betting with increasing frequency or amounts
    • Thinking persistently about gambling outside play sessions
    • Borrowing money or selling possessions to gamble
    • Chasing losses or feeling unable to stop
    • Neglecting work, family, or social obligations due to gaming
    • Experiencing stress, anxiety, or irritability when not gambling
  • Self-Assessment Test:
    • Do you gamble to escape feelings of distress?
    • Are you unable to control the amount of time or money spent while gambling?
    • Have you lied to friends or family about your gambling activities?
    • Do you attempt to recover losses by increasing your wagers?
    • Have you neglected important responsibilities due to gambling?
    If you answered "yes" to any of the questions above, you may be at risk. Please seek support from the options provided below or contact the-ville.casino support team for confidential assistance.

Regional Compliance Note: All information aligns with the Queensland Office of Liquor and Gaming Regulation (OLGR) risk communication requirements.

    • Confirm changes. Limits take effect immediately and cannot be increased within the set period (reductions are permitted at any time).
  2. Setting Time Limits & Breaks:
    • In your profile, select Set Session Time Limit to specify the amount of time (in minutes or hours) you wish to play per session.
    • Enable Break Reminders to receive automatic warnings after your chosen duration.
    • To activate a short-term pause, use the Time-Out option, accessible in the Responsible Gaming section.
      • Choose a duration between 24 and 72 hours.
      • Confirm your selection; access to your player account will be temporarily restricted during this period.

    • Withdrawal of available balance is subject to regulatory verifications-requests for refunds during a self-exclusion period must be submitted to [email protected] and will be addressed per OLGR and AML obligations.
    • Once permanent exclusion is activated, reinstatement is not permitted within the designated period or for life if lifetime exclusion is chosen (aligned with Queensland regulations effective through 2025).
