Responsible Gambling
Gambling should always be an enjoyable form of entertainment. If gambling stops being fun or starts causing problems in your life, it is important to seek help immediately. This page provides resources and guidance for responsible gambling in Australia.

- Balance gambling with other activities and hobbies

Self-Exclusion Tools
Most reputable online casinos, including LevelUp Casino, offer self-exclusion tools that allow you to temporarily or permanently restrict your access to the platform. Contact their support team via live chat to activate self-exclusion.
In Australia, you can also use the National Self-Exclusion Register to exclude yourself from multiple gambling venues simultaneously.
