Responsible Gaming

Responsible gaming at grandrushes.com is founded on the principle that gambling should be enjoyed as a form of entertainment, pursued consciously and within one's financial means. Our goal is to ensure players are aware of the risks that may arise with gambling and to support them in making informed choices. We uphold the highest standards of player care and are committed to providing tailored assistance to anyone who requires support, in line with Australian legal and industry best practices.

Risk Awareness

OBSERVE: The Australian legal and regulatory framework obliges operators to provide clear information regarding the risks of gambling, signs of problematic behavior, and avenues for early identification. EXPAND: Many individuals may not recognize the early warning signs of gambling harm, which is critical for prevention and responsible engagement. REFLECT: This section outlines both explicit and implicit indicators of gambling risk and offers a self-assessment tool, addressing both legal obligations and user well-being.

Signs of Potential Gambling Harm

  • Increasing frequency of deposits and bets - betting more often or with higher amounts than planned can signal loss of control.
  • Preoccupation with gambling activities - thinking about grandrushes.com or other gambling venues when not playing.
  • Neglecting work, family, or social activities to continue gambling.
  • Chasing losses - attempting to recover previous losses by betting more.
  • Gambling despite negative consequences - financial, emotional, or relational problems attributed to gambling.
  • Borrowing money or selling possessions to gamble.

Self-Assessment Test

To evaluate your gambling behavior, honestly consider the following questions:

  1. Do I find myself spending more time or money on grandrushes.com than I intend?
  2. Have I tried to reduce or stop gambling but found it difficult?
  3. Do I feel irritable or anxious when not gambling?
  4. Have friends, family, or colleagues expressed concern about my gambling?
  5. Am I neglecting important responsibilities or relationships due to gambling?
  6. Do I chase losses in an attempt to get even?
  7. Am I using borrowed money or selling items to fund gambling?

If you answered "yes" to any of these questions, we strongly encourage you to utilise the resources and tools provided on this page and to seek assistance from our support team or external expert services.

Regional Compliance Note: This section fulfills AU regulatory requirements for harm minimisation and player awareness. Updated for 2025 standards.

Limits & Tools

OBSERVE: AU regulation mandates licensed operators to offer effective tools enabling players to control their gambling expenditures and durations. EXPAND: grandrushes.com has designed intuitive tools for limit setting on deposits and session time, as well as temporary break features. REFLECT: Detailed guidance is provided to ensure players can exercise these controls independently, satisfying both regulatory and user needs.

Deposit Limits

  1. Log in to your personal account at grandrushes.com.
  2. Navigate to the "Responsible Gaming" or "Account Limits" section found within your profile settings.
  3. Select deposit limits for daily, weekly, and monthly periods. Example: Daily limit - AUD 100, Weekly limit - AUD 500, Monthly limit - AUD 2,000.
  4. Enter your chosen limit for each time frame.
  5. Confirm your selections. Changes take immediate effect; lowering limits is instant, raising limits may require 24-72 hours and a reassessment of your decision.

Time Limits & Session Control

  • Set session time limits within your profile. A timer will track your play and automatically notify you when the limit is reached.
  • To enable a break (Time-Out): Navigate to the "Time-Out" or "Take a Break" feature. Select a duration of 24, 48, or 72 hours. During this period, you cannot access your account, make deposits, or place bets.

All limit-setting tools are provided in compliance with Australian player protection laws and cannot be overridden by support staff unless mandated by law.

Regional Compliance Note: Section aligned with AU industry codes for 2025, including the National Consumer Protection Framework requirements.

Self-Exclusion

OBSERVE: Self-exclusion is a cornerstone of responsible gambling regulation in Australia, empowering individuals to block their access to gambling services for the purpose of harm minimisation.

REFLECT: The following instructions provide step-by-step directions consistent with legal standards and best practice guidance.

How to Activate Self-Exclusion
