Share your concerns
Support can help with advice, a pause or concerns about someone close to you.
Risks to consider
Recognise gambling risks
- Gambling is not a dependable source of income.
- Chasing losses may lead to further spending.

Australian players should check the laws applying to online gambling services. Read official guidance ↗.

Set boundaries in advance

Spinfever responsible gambling guidance for Australian players
What safer gambling means
Treat gambling as paid entertainment, not a way to make money or solve financial problems. Outcomes are uncertain, losses can happen quickly and no win is guaranteed. Consider whether gambling suits your circumstances before playing.
Spinfever’s welcome offer is 100% up to AUD 1,000 + 1 Gold Spin. Read the current conditions carefully, as bonus terms may affect how funds are used or withdrawn. The published information does not state a minimum deposit, wagering requirement or validity period for this offer.
Spinfever lists hundreds of providers and thousands of pokies. More choice does not remove gambling risk, and frequent play or chasing losses can make control harder. Gambling should not take priority over essentials, relationships, work or study.
Set Spinfever deposit limits before playing
Create a spending plan before gambling starts. Choose an amount you can afford to lose, keep it separate from rent, bills, food and savings, and stop when it is reached. Never borrow or use credit to continue.
Spinfever deposit limits and other account controls are not detailed in the published information available here. Check the cashier, account settings and current terms to see what is available, and confirm a control is active before depositing.
Set both time and money boundaries in advance, and record them. Avoid gambling when upset, tired, intoxicated or under financial pressure, when decisions may be less considered.
Take breaks and notice changes
Regular breaks help you review whether you are following your plan. Set a reminder away from the game and leave when the planned session ends. Do not extend play to recover losses.
Watch for spending more than intended, hiding activity, neglecting responsibilities, feeling anxious about stopping or trying to win back money. If these signs appear, pause and seek qualified support.
Spinfever self exclusion and account controls
Self-exclusion can create a firm barrier when a short break is not enough. Spinfever self exclusion arrangements, including the request process, duration and reversal rules, are not specified in the published information. Check the current terms and account controls before relying on them.
If you self-exclude, ask someone you trust to support the decision and reduce access to gambling funds or reminders. Australian support services can suggest further ways to manage access and financial pressure.
Where Australian players can find help
Confidential support is available through services in each Australian state and territory. They can help assess gambling’s impact, plan a break and discuss financial or emotional support. Family and friends can seek help too.
If you cannot stop, have lost control of spending or may harm yourself, seek urgent assistance from an appropriate health or crisis service. For immediate danger, contact emergency services.
