Your wellbeing comes first
Gambling should stay fun, affordable and on your terms. We give every player at N1 Casino practical controls to keep it that way, and if it stops being fun, we help you hit pause.
How we look after you
Player protection comes standard
We monitor play patterns for early signs of harmful behaviour and reach out when we spot them. Every account gets reality-check reminders during sessions, and our support team trains specifically in responsible-gambling conversations. Our Maltese licence (MGA/B2C/394/2017) requires it, but honestly, we'd do it anyway.
Know the warning signs
Changes worth acting on
If any of these ring true, it's time to use one of the tools below or talk to someone. No judgement here; catching it early makes everything easier.
- Chasing losses with bigger or more frequent bets
- Hiding your play from family or friends
- Borrowing money or using bill money to gamble
- Gambling to escape stress, boredom or low mood
- Playing for longer than you planned, repeatedly
- Feeling restless or irritable when trying to cut back
- Lying about time or money spent on pokies or live games
Tools you can use
Set your own boundaries
All limits take effect immediately when you set them. You'll find every tool under 'Responsible Gaming' in your account settings, or our 24/7 live chat can apply them for you.
- Deposit limits: cap what you can deposit per day, week or month, from as little as AUD 20.
- Loss limits: a hard ceiling on net losses over your chosen period, so a bad run stops itself.
- Wagering limits: restrict total bets placed regardless of outcome.
- Session reminders: on-screen pop-ups every 30, 60 or 90 minutes showing time played and net result.
- Time-out: a short break of 24 hours to 30 days that locks you out then reopens automatically.
- Cooling-off period: a longer pause with account activity frozen until it ends.
- Self-exclusion: the strongest option; full account closure for a fixed term or permanently.
How self-exclusion works
Closing the door, on your terms
You choose the term: 24 hours, 7 days, 30 days, 6 months or permanent. Once active, self-exclusion cannot be reversed early; that's the point of it.
| Term | Account access | Balance and open bets | Reactivation |
|---|---|---|---|
| 24 hours / 7 days | Locked | Balance stays; open bets settle and winnings stay yours | Automatic at expiry |
| 30 days / 6 months | Locked | Balance refunded to your payment method on request | Automatic at expiry |
| Permanent | Closed | Balance refunded minus pending wagering checks | No reactivation; new accounts are blocked too |
Keeping minors out
18 plus, verified
Gambling at N1 Casino is strictly for players aged 18 and over. Our KYC process checks ID or passport before your first withdrawal, and we run re-checks when anything looks off. We can't verify every deposit instantly, so parents carry weight too. Net Nanny, CyberPatrol and similar parental-control software block gambling sites on shared devices. Never leave a session open on a family computer or tablet.

Frequently asked questions
How quickly do deposit limits take effect?
Instantly. Set them in account settings under Responsible Gaming, or ask our 24/7 live chat team to apply them for you.
Can I cancel a self-exclusion early?
No. Short terms reopen automatically at expiry, and permanent self-exclusion cannot be reversed. We also block attempts to open a new account during any term.
What happens to my balance if I self-exclude?
Your funds stay yours. For terms of 30 days or longer we refund the balance to your verified payment method on request, and any open bets settle normally.
Will anyone at the casino be told if I call a helpline?
No. Gambling Help Online (1800 858 858) is fully independent and confidential. Nothing is shared with us and your account is never affected.
Are your games fair if I set limits?
Yes. Limits change only how much and how often you can play; RTP and game outcomes are unaffected and remain certified under our MGA licence.
