Responsible Gambling

Gambling should be fun. When it stops being fun — when it starts to cost you money you can't afford, time you don't have, or relationships that matter — it has become a problem. The information below is for any Australian player who wants to keep their play safe, or who is starting to suspect it isn't.

Are You 18+?

King Johnnie Casino is strictly for adults aged 18 or over. Anyone under 18 caught using the platform will have their account closed and any winnings forfeited. Parents — if you share a device with a minor, please use parental control tools such as Google Family Link, Apple Screen Time, or specialised gambling-site blockers like Gamban or BetBlocker.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

If any of these feel familiar, it's worth pausing:

Spending more time or money on gambling than you intended
Chasing losses with bigger deposits or higher stakes
Borrowing money to gamble, or using money meant for bills, rent or groceries
Lying to family or friends about how much or how often you play
Feeling restless, anxious or irritable when you try to cut back
Gambling to escape stress, low mood or other problems
Letting gambling interfere with work, study, sleep or relationships

Tools You Can Use Right Now

Inside your account settings, you have full control over your play:

Deposit limits — daily, weekly or monthly caps that you can lower instantly. Increases take effect after a 24-hour cooling-off period.
Loss limits — set a maximum amount you're willing to lose in a given period.
Session time limits — automatic logout after a set window of play.
Reality checks — pop-up reminders that interrupt long sessions to show how long you've been playing and your net result.
Cool-off period — temporary lockout from 24 hours up to 30 days. Cannot be lifted early.
Self-exclusion — permanent or long-term account closure. Cannot be reversed within the chosen period.

All tools activate immediately. Live chat can action any of them on your behalf if you'd rather not navigate the settings yourself.
