Responsible Gambling
At Victor96, we believe gambling should be a form of entertainment — a fun and social way to enjoy your favourite pokies, sports, and casino games. Our goal is to provide a safe, genuine, and transparent environment for Australian punters who want to have a crack responsibly. Gambling can be an enjoyable pastime when done in moderation, but we also recognise that for some, it can become harmful. That’s why we’re committed to supporting responsible gambling and offering tools and resources that help you stay in control.
We encourage all our players to treat gambling the same way they would any other form of entertainment. It should never be viewed as a way to earn income, solve financial problems, or escape stress. Below, you’ll find our approach to responsible play and the resources available to help you gamble safely, confidently, and within your means.
Our Commitment to Responsible Gambling
Victor96 operates under the guidance of Australian values — fairness, transparency, and care for our community. We follow the guidelines set by the Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA) and support the principles of the national responsible gambling framework. Every feature, promotion, and tool on our site is designed to make sure your experience stays healthy and positive.
We want every punter to feel empowered. Our commitment means:
- Transparent controls over deposits and betting activities.
- Accessible help for players at any stage of their gambling journey.
- Partnerships with national organisations dedicated to prevention and support.
- A strong stance against underage gambling and fraudulent activity.
You can always reach our customer support team for help — available during local Australian hours — whether you need technical assistance or personal guidance.
Staying in Control
Responsible gambling starts with awareness. The key is knowing how much time and money you can comfortably spend without it impacting other parts of your life.
To help you make informed decisions, Victor96 provides several self-management tools inside your player account.
Deposit Limits
Setting a deposit limit is one of the most effective ways to stay on top of your spending. You can choose a daily, weekly, or monthly deposit limit in Australian dollars (AUD). Once you reach your chosen cap, you won’t be able to top up your account until the next period begins.
These limits apply across all payment methods — PayID, POLi, BPAY, Neosurf, Visa/Mastercard, and crypto. Adjusting your limit to a lower amount takes effect immediately, while increasing it requires a 24-hour cooling-off period for added protection.
Deposit limits give you the power to track your financial habits just like any other budgeting tool. Think of this as setting healthy boundaries for your gaming — a ripper way to stay in control while still enjoying a punt.
Session Reminders
Time can fly when you’re spinning pokies or watching the footy odds shift. To prevent overplay, our session reminders notify you when you’ve been logged in for longer than your set duration. This feature helps you take mindful breaks — whether it’s stretching out, grabbing a snack, or just enjoying the arvo away from screens.
Cooling-Off Periods
Sometimes, even responsible punters need a reset. You can activate a cooling-off period at any time, pausing access to your account for a set number of days or weeks. During this time, you won’t be able to deposit, bet, or claim bonuses — giving you space to reflect and rebalance without temptation.
Cooling-off periods are great for moments when you simply need a breather. Once the time is up, your account reopens automatically, but you’ll also receive resources suggesting ways to maintain healthy play habits.
Self-Exclusion Options
If gambling starts to feel overwhelming, we offer self-exclusion tools that allow you to take a longer, more serious break. Self-exclusion can range from three months to permanent exclusion, depending on what suits your situation best.
During your self-exclusion, you will not be able to log in, make deposits, or receive promotional communications such as bonus offers or free spins on pokies. Our support team is here to help with the process — confidentially and respectfully. We encourage players who choose self-exclusion to also seek professional help if needed.
To request self-exclusion, head to your account settings or contact customer support. If you’ve decided it’s time to stop gambling completely, we fully support that choice and can guide you toward additional resources across Australia.
How to Recognise Gambling Harm
It’s not always easy to notice when gambling becomes risky. Some common signs include:
- Chasing losses or betting more than you can afford.
- Borrowing money to keep punting.
- Feeling stressed, anxious, or guilty after playing.
- Neglecting work, study, or family responsibilities.
- Using gambling as an escape from problems or emotions.
- Hiding the truth about your gambling habits from friends or loved ones.
If any of these sound familiar, taking action early is key. Small behavioural changes can quickly escalate if left unchecked. Remember — asking for help isn’t a sign of weakness; it’s a step toward regaining stability and peace of mind.

Protecting Minors and Vulnerable Players
Victor96 strictly prohibits access by anyone under the age of 18. We use advanced verification technologies to ensure compliance with Australian law and prevent minors from engaging with any part of our site — including pokies, sports betting, or promotional offers.
Parents and guardians play a crucial role in protecting young people from exposure to gambling. We recommend installing parental control software such as NetNanny, Qustodio, or Cybersitter, which can block gambling-related websites and monitor online activity.
For vulnerable players, we take additional precautions, including transaction monitoring and manual review of accounts that show signs of distress or irregular behaviour. Our team intervenes only when necessary, always prioritising privacy and ethical standards.
Keeping Play Positive
Gambling should always be enjoyable — not something that causes stress or harm. Here are a few practical tips for keeping your play in a healthy balance:
- Treat your deposits as entertainment spending, just like buying tickets to the footy or a night at the pub.
- Never chase losses; once the game’s over, it’s done.
- Set both time and money limits — stick to them even on winning streaks.
- Don’t gamble if you’re tired, upset, or under the influence.
- Keep gambling separate from your core finances; never use rent or bill money.
- Consider social support — play only with mates who understand your limits.
- Take regular breaks. Have an arvo away from screens and gaming.
- Celebrate wins modestly and don’t rely on bonuses or promotions as guaranteed income.
A healthy attitude to gambling means knowing when to stop and feeling comfortable walking away. Victor96 rewards smart, safe play — not higher spending.
