Clubhouse Casino Responsible Gaming Policy
Navigation
At Clubhouse Casino, gambling is meant to be an enjoyable form of entertainment — not a source of financial stress or personal hardship. Clubhouse Casino responsible gambling is not just a regulatory checkbox; it is a genuine commitment woven into every layer of the platform. This page outlines the tools, resources, and guidance that Clubhouse Casino makes available to all Australian players who want to play responsibly and maintain a healthy relationship with online gaming. Whether you are looking to set deposit limits, take a cooling-off period, or find professional gambling help, everything you need is detailed here. Please read this policy carefully and share it with anyone in your household who plays at the casino.
Clubhouse Casino's Commitment to Responsible Gaming
Clubhouse Casino operates under a licence issued by the Government of Curaçao and takes its player-protection obligations seriously. Clubhouse Casino responsible gaming practices are built on four pillars: transparency, accessibility, prevention, and support. The casino invests in staff training, independently audited Random Number Generators (RNG), and a suite of safer gambling tools that give players genuine gambling control over how, when, and how much they gamble.
Every player who registers an account automatically receives access to the full range of Clubhouse Casino safer gambling tools described in this document. These tools are available around the clock, free of charge, and can be activated directly from the account dashboard or by contacting support at [email protected] or via the 24/7 live chat.
Understanding Problem Gambling
Problem gambling develops gradually and can affect anyone, regardless of income, background, or experience. Recognising the warning signs early is the most effective way to prevent a manageable habit from becoming a serious gambling addiction. Clubhouse Casino encourages all players to reflect honestly on their gambling behaviour on a regular basis.
Financial Warning Signs
- Spending more money on gambling than you can comfortably afford to lose.
- Chasing losses by placing larger or more frequent bets.
- Borrowing money, selling possessions, or taking out loans to fund gambling sessions.
- Neglecting bills, rent, or other financial obligations to keep gambling.
- Hiding bank statements or credit card bills from family members.
Emotional Warning Signs
- Feeling anxious, irritable, or restless when unable to gamble.
- Using gambling as a way to escape stress, depression, or loneliness.
- Experiencing mood swings that are directly tied to wins and losses.
- Feeling guilt or shame after gambling sessions yet continuing to play.
- Inability to stop thinking about gambling, even during work or family time.
Social Warning Signs
- Lying to friends or family about how much time or money you spend gambling.
- Withdrawing from social activities or hobbies in favour of gambling.
- Neglecting work, study, or family responsibilities because of gambling.
- Relationship conflicts arising from gambling-related financial problems.
- Relying on others to cover debts caused by gambling losses.
If you recognise two or more of these signs in yourself or someone close to you, we strongly encourage you to use the Clubhouse Casino self-assessment tool below and to reach out to one of the professional support services listed later on this page. Identifying problem gambling early makes recovery significantly more achievable.
Self-Assessment Questionnaire
The following questions are adapted from internationally recognised screening tools used by mental health professionals. Answer each question honestly. This questionnaire is completely private and your responses are not stored by Clubhouse Casino.
- Have you ever gambled with money you needed for essential expenses such as rent, food, or bills?
- Have you ever tried to win back money you had previously lost while gambling?
- Have you ever lied to a family member, partner, or employer about your gambling?
- Have you ever felt the urge to gamble with larger amounts of money to get the same level of excitement?
- Have you ever borrowed money or sold belongings to finance gambling?
- Do you think about gambling when you are at work, at home, or trying to sleep?
- Have you ever tried to stop or reduce your gambling and found it difficult?
- Have you ever gambled to escape personal problems, anxiety, or depression?
- Has gambling ever caused serious problems in your relationships or career?
- Have you ever felt guilt, regret, or shame after a gambling session?
How to interpret your answers: If you answered "yes" to three or more of the above questions, your gambling behaviour may be causing harm. We encourage you to activate safe gambling limits on your account immediately and contact one of the Australian support services listed below. If you answered "yes" to five or more questions, please consider requesting a self-exclusion or contacting a counsellor as soon as possible.
Clubhouse Casino Safer Gambling Tools
Clubhouse Casino provides a comprehensive set of safer gambling tools designed to give players meaningful gambling control. These tools can be found in the "Responsible Gaming" section of your account settings. All limits take effect immediately upon activation; increases to limits are subject to a mandatory 24-hour cooling period to prevent impulsive decisions.
Deposit Limits
Deposit limits allow you to cap the total amount of real money you can transfer into your Clubhouse Casino account over a defined period. You can set deposit limits on a daily, weekly, or monthly basis. Once your chosen limit is reached, the platform will decline any further deposits until the time period resets. This is one of the most effective player protection measures available because it prevents overspending before it happens rather than after.
| Limit Type | Available Periods | Activation | Reduction Takes Effect | Increase Takes Effect |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Daily Deposit Limit | 24 hours | Immediate | Immediate | After 24 hours |
| Weekly Deposit Limit | 7 days | Immediate | Immediate | After 24 hours |
| Monthly Deposit Limit | 30 days | Immediate | Immediate | After 24 hours |
Loss Limits
Loss limits place a ceiling on how much you can lose across real-money games during a set period. Unlike deposit limits, which restrict incoming funds, loss limits track your net losses in gameplay. Once the threshold is reached, you will no longer be able to place real-money bets until the period expires. Clubhouse Casino loss limits can be configured daily, weekly, or monthly, and reductions take effect straight away while increases require the standard 24-hour waiting period.
Session Limits
Session limits let you decide in advance how long each individual gambling session may last. Once the timer expires, you will be automatically logged out of your Clubhouse Casino account. Before the session ends, you will receive a notification warning so you can complete your current activity. Session limits are particularly useful for players who lose track of time while gaming, making them a vital component of responsible gaming practice. Available session durations range from as little as 30 minutes to several hours.
Bet Limits
In addition to deposit limits and loss limits, Clubhouse Casino allows players to set a maximum stake per individual bet or spin. This prevents any single wager from exceeding an amount you are comfortable with, adding an extra layer of gambling control at the game level.
Cooling-Off Period
A cooling-off period is a temporary break from gambling that you can request at any time. During a cooling-off period, your Clubhouse Casino account will be suspended and you will be unable to log in, deposit, or place bets. Clubhouse Casino offers the following cooling-off period durations:
- 24 hours — ideal if you feel the urge to chase losses after a bad session.
- 48 hours — a short reset to help regain perspective.
- 7 days — recommended if you notice recurring problematic patterns.
- 30 days — a meaningful break that allows time to seek support if needed.
The cooling-off period begins immediately upon request and cannot be shortened. This is by design: the value of a cooling-off period comes from its enforceability. Requests to cancel an active break are automatically declined during the cooling-off window.
Self-Exclusion
Self-exclusion is the most decisive player protection tool available at Clubhouse Casino. When you request a self-exclusion, your account is closed and you are prevented from creating a new account for the duration of the exclusion period. Clubhouse Casino self-exclusion is available in the following durations:
| Self-Exclusion Period | Account Status | Can Be Reversed? |
|---|---|---|
| 6 months | Closed | No — only after the period expires |
| 1 year | Closed | No — only after the period expires |
| 5 years | Closed | No — only after the period expires |
| Permanent | Permanently closed | No — irreversible |
To request self-exclusion, navigate to the "Responsible Gaming" section of your account or contact our support team directly at [email protected]. The exclusion will be processed within 24 hours of your request, and any remaining balance will be returned to you. We strongly recommend also registering with national blocking schemes such as Gamban so that the exclusion extends to other operators as well.
Activity Monitoring and Alerts
Clubhouse Casino uses automated systems to monitor player behaviour and flag accounts that display patterns associated with problem gambling. These include sudden increases in deposit frequency, extended session durations, rapid shifts between games, and repeated loss-chasing behaviour. When such patterns are detected, Clubhouse Casino may:
- Send an in-platform notification suggesting the player review their limits.
- Display a pop-up reminder about available safer gambling tools.
- Have a trained member of the support team reach out proactively by email or live chat.
- Temporarily restrict access to certain features pending a wellbeing check-in.
Players can also opt in to voluntary reality-check notifications, which display a summary of session duration and net results at regular intervals. This feature supports responsible gambling by making it easy to stay informed and in control at all times.
The 8 Golden Rules of Safe Gambling at Clubhouse Casino
Following these eight principles will help you maintain a positive and sustainable relationship with online gaming. Clubhouse Casino recommends that all players bookmark this list and revisit it regularly.
- Gamble for entertainment, never for income. Treat casino gaming as a leisure activity with an entertainment budget, not a strategy for making money.
- Set a budget before you play. Decide how much you can comfortably afford to lose before you log in, and activate deposit limits to enforce that budget automatically.
- Never chase your losses. Chasing losses is one of the most common triggers of gambling addiction. If you have reached your limit, stop — the games will still be there tomorrow.
- Take regular breaks. Use session limits or set personal alarms to remind yourself to step away from the screen. Short breaks restore perspective and prevent fatigue-driven poor decisions.
- Do not gamble under the influence. Alcohol and other substances impair judgement and reduce the effectiveness of self-control strategies. Gamble responsibly by keeping your mind clear.
- Keep gambling separate from emotions. Never gamble as a way to escape stress, anxiety, grief, or depression. Seek professional support if these feelings are affecting your daily life.
- Balance gambling with other activities. A healthy lifestyle includes a variety of hobbies and social connections. If gambling is crowding out other interests, it may be time to use a cooling-off period.
- Ask for help early. There is no shame in seeking gambling help. Early intervention is far more effective than waiting until a situation becomes a crisis. Clubhouse Casino and the organisations listed below are ready to assist.
Protection of Minors
Clubhouse Casino has a zero-tolerance policy towards underage gambling. The casino is strictly for adults aged 18 and over. During the registration process, players must confirm their age, and KYC (Know Your Customer) verification is mandatory before any withdrawal is processed. If Clubhouse Casino has reasonable grounds to suspect that a registered user is under 18, the account will be suspended immediately pending age verification.
Tips for Parents and Guardians
If you use Clubhouse Casino on a shared device, it is essential to take steps to prevent children from accessing your account. We recommend the following:
- Always log out of your account when you have finished playing — never leave a session open on a shared computer, tablet, or phone.
- Never share your login credentials with anyone, including older teenagers.
- Use a strong, unique password that your child would not be able to guess.
- Enable two-factor authentication on your account for an additional security layer.
- Consider using a dedicated device for gambling that is stored securely and inaccessible to children.
- Talk openly with your children about gambling: explain that it is an adult activity, that outcomes are determined by chance, and that it is never a reliable way to earn money.
Parental Control Software
In addition to the above precautions, Clubhouse Casino recommends installing parental control software on devices used in the home. The following tools are well-regarded and suitable for Australian families:
| Software | Platforms | Key Features | Website |
|---|---|---|---|
| Net Nanny | Windows, Mac, Android, iOS | Website filtering, screen time management, app blocking, usage reports | netnanny.com |
| Qustodio | Windows, Mac, Android, iOS, Kindle, Chromebook | Content filtering, time limits, location tracking, social media monitoring | qustodio.com |
| Norton Family | Windows, Android, iOS | Web supervision, time supervision, search monitoring, school time feature | norton.com/family |
Gambling Blocking Software
For players who want to restrict their own access to online gambling sites across all devices and browsers — not just Clubhouse Casino — dedicated blocking software provides a powerful, technology-backed solution. These tools complement the self-exclusion and cooling-off period options available directly through Clubhouse Casino.
| Software | Cost | Platforms | How It Works |
|---|---|---|---|
| Gamban | Paid subscription | Windows, Mac, Android, iOS, Kindle | Blocks access to thousands of gambling websites and apps at the device level; very difficult to circumvent. |
| BetBlocker | Free | Windows, Mac, Android, iOS | Blocks gambling websites for a self-selected period from 24 hours to 5 years; supported by UK and international charities. |
| Betfilter | Paid subscription | Windows, Mac, Android, iOS | Blocks gambling websites and apps; includes activity reports and the option to nominate a trusted contact. |
Using blocking software in combination with a Clubhouse Casino self-exclusion is the most comprehensive approach for players who feel they need a complete break from online gambling. We strongly encourage any player experiencing signs of gambling addiction to explore these tools in conjunction with professional counselling.

Frequently Asked Questions — Responsible Gambling at Clubhouse Casino
How do I set deposit limits on my Clubhouse Casino account?
Log in to your account, go to "Account Settings" and select "Responsible Gaming." From there, choose "Deposit Limits," select a daily, weekly, or monthly period, enter your desired amount, and confirm. The limit takes effect immediately. If you want to reduce a limit, the reduction is instant; if you want to increase it, a 24-hour waiting period applies as an additional player protection measure.
What is the difference between a cooling-off period and self-exclusion?
A cooling-off period is a short-term, temporary break — ranging from 24 hours to 30 days — during which your account is suspended. After the period ends, your account is automatically reinstated. Self-exclusion, on the other hand, permanently closes your account for a minimum of six months (and up to permanently). It is the appropriate choice for players who recognise that they need a significant break from gambling to address a gambling addiction or related concerns.
Can I gamble again after a self-exclusion period ends?
If you chose a fixed-duration self-exclusion (6 months, 1 year, or 5 years), you may request to reopen your account once the exclusion period has expired. Clubhouse Casino will conduct a short wellbeing check before reactivating any previously excluded account. If you selected permanent self-exclusion, that decision is irreversible and the account cannot be reopened.
What should I do if I think a family member has a gambling problem?
Start by having a calm, non-judgmental conversation with them about your concerns. Share information about gambling help services such as Gambling Help Online (1800 858 858) or Gamblers Anonymous Australia. Relationships Australia (1300 364 277) also provides counselling for families affected by problem gambling. If the family member has an account at Clubhouse Casino, you may also contact our support team to report a concern; we take all welfare reports seriously as part of our responsible gambling commitment.
Does Clubhouse Casino share my responsible gambling data with third parties?
No. All information related to your use of Clubhouse Casino responsible gambling tools — including limits set, exclusion requests, and any support interactions — is treated as strictly confidential in accordance with our Privacy Policy. This data is used only for the purpose of player protection and is never sold or shared with marketing partners.
Are the safer gambling tools available on the Clubhouse Casino mobile app?
Yes. The full range of Clubhouse Casino safer gambling tools is accessible via both the Android APK and the iOS PWA (Progressive Web App). Simply log in to your account on your mobile device and navigate to the "Responsible Gaming" section of your account settings to manage your deposit limits, session limits, loss limits, and cooling-off period preferences.
How does Clubhouse Casino verify that players are over 18?
During registration, all players must confirm they are aged 18 or over. Before processing a first withdrawal, Clubhouse Casino requires mandatory KYC (Know Your Customer) verification, which includes submitting a government-issued photo ID and proof of address. Any account where there is a suspicion of underage gambling is immediately suspended pending verification. This is a core part of Clubhouse Casino responsible gambling practice and the protection of minors policy.
Our Ongoing Commitment to Safe Gambling
Clubhouse Casino believes that a sustainable online gaming environment benefits everyone — players, operators, and the broader community. Our responsible gambling framework is reviewed and updated regularly to reflect best practices in player protection and the latest research on problem gambling prevention. We partner with independent auditors to verify the fairness of our games and use 256-bit SSL/TLS encryption to protect all player data.
We also recognise that tools and rules alone are not enough. That is why Clubhouse Casino fosters a culture of care across our entire support team. Every agent who assists players with responsible gaming requests is trained to listen, respond empathetically, and ensure the player receives the right support — whether that means activating a cooling-off period, arranging a self-exclusion, or simply providing information about external gambling help services.
If you choose to play responsibly at Clubhouse Casino, you are making a choice that the entire team actively supports. Our commitment to Clubhouse Casino responsible gaming is not a policy that lives on a page — it is reflected in every decision we make as an operator. Gamble responsibly, know your limits, and remember that help is always available whenever you need it.
