Australia Responsible Play Stats

Maximum informative text

Introduction

Responsible gambling is one of the key indicators of maturity and regulation of the gambling market. Australia has traditionally paid increased attention to the introduction of self-control tools, and in 2025 there has been an increase in their use by players. Responsible play statistics assess how effectively Australian users use deposit limits, time limits and self-exclusion mechanisms.

Using limits

Deposit limits:
  • In 2025, about 41% of players set limits on account replenishment. This is 6% more than in 2024.
  • Loss limits:
    • ~ 29% of users limit the amount of possible losses per day or week.
    • Time limits:
      • 22% of Australians apply restrictions on the duration of the session (an increase of 3% per year).

      The main trend is the growing popularity of hybrid limits, where the deposit ceiling and time ceiling are simultaneously fixed.

      Self-exception

      Short-term self-exclusion (1-6 months):
      • In 2025, ~ 8% of players used.
      • Long-term (year or more):
        • ~ 3% of active users, which corresponds to the level of 2024.
        • At operator level:
          • Self-exclusion is more often activated through individual casinos rather than centralized systems.

          Time control and notifications

          More than 35% of players activated game time notifications.
          The average reminder threshold is 60 minutes, after which some players take a break or end the session.
          There is an increase in interest in statistical reports within the personal account: about 18% of players use these tools.

          2025 Trends

          1. Integration of AI tools - casinos use algorithms to identify signs of problematic behavior.
          2. Rising regulatory demands - Australia has tightened rules on mandatory risk communication to players.
          3. Popularization of "soft restrictions" - players often choose notifications instead of hard locks.
          4. Responsible play in a live casino is a separate area where restrictions on the duration of participation are introduced.

          Conclusion

          2025 statistics show that Australian players are increasingly using responsible play tools. The main focus has shifted towards deposit limits and time control, which reduces the risk of problem gambling. Despite the increase in the number of users using these tools, the potential for development remains: especially in the field of centralized self-exclusion and deep behavioral analytics.
