Limit and exclusion help
Before the First Bet
Take Charge of Time and Spend
If a tool is unclear, this list shows what each one does and when to use it.
Cap It Before Play
If spending creeps up on a good night, set a deposit limit first; it caps what can reach your balance before play begins.
Set a Stop Figure
When a losing run starts to shape your evening, a loss limit caps total losses at a figure you set while calm, before play.
Lost Track Again?
If hours slip past without notice, a session time reminder nudges you at intervals you pick, so a quick spin does not swallow the whole evening.
A Short Pause
When you want distance but not a full stop, a cooling-off period pauses your account for a stretch you choose, then lets you return.
Close the Door Properly
When play stops feeling like a pastime, self-exclusion blocks your account from play; BetStop, the Australian national register, is separate and lasts at least three months.
Deciding to Cap
When the Evening Needs a Ceiling
Read this when you would rather fix a spend ceiling before the first spin, not after.
Your Profile Page
Sign in, open your profile settings from the menu and check that the email shown is yours, since limit confirmations reach it.
One Tab, Every Control
Find the responsible gambling tab in settings, where every control sits together; if it is missing, live chat points the way.
Picking Your Priority
Decide what you are protecting: money you pay in, money you can lose or hours at play, then pick the matching limit.
Is It Active?
Save the setting, then reopen the page to see the figure listed as active; a screenshot keeps a record if anything looks different.
When It Turns
Signs That Play Has Turned Into Pressure
Spotting these signals early keeps a small cost from growing into a large one. You do not need to have a problem to set a limit or take a pause; both are simple choices you make before your next session, in your own account.
Signs Worth Taking Seriously
If any of these feel familiar, the calm next step is a limit or a short break.
- Playing longer than you planned, again
- Spending money meant for bills
- Chasing a loss with another deposit
- Keeping play hidden from family
- Feeling restless on days you don't play
- Borrowing to keep your balance topped up
- Telling yourself it will stop tomorrow

Longer Protection
Deciding How Long You Want Away
Hours Off, Then Back?
Think of this as a breath: a short block of hours or days you start yourself in your account settings. While it runs the account stays shut, and you can go back to play once the period ends.
Shut for Months, Not Hours
Choosing this closes your access for a long stretch, longer than any pause, and it cannot be undone early. Start it in your account settings and expect the account to stay locked until the period you picked has passed.
BetStop: Months, Not Days
BetStop is run by the Australian Government through ACMA and starts at three months, up to a lifetime. You apply yourself online in about five minutes, may name a support person, and cannot shorten it early. betstop.gov.au
Calm answers
What changes once a limit or exclusion is in place?
Can I close my Slothunter account for good?
+
Yes. Ask the support team at [email protected] to close the account permanently, and they will handle it for you. Confirmation reaches you by email once the closure is recorded.
Why does the casino ask for proof that I am 18?
+
Players must be 18+ to hold an account, and identity checks confirm that before payouts move. Send the proof of identity you are asked for and the account stays open.
Does an exclusion here also keep me out of other betting sites?
+
No. A self-exclusion set inside your Slothunter account covers this casino, while BetStop is the national register run by the Australian Government and reaches licensed wagering providers across the country. Joining BetStop closes off those providers too.
Can someone help me if it is my partner who plays too much?
+
Yes. The National Gambling Helpline on 1800 858 858 advises relatives as well as players, around the clock, and its counsellors can point you to local services. Gamblers Anonymous Australia also runs peer meetings for families.
What happens if I want a bigger limit later?
+
Return to the same limits area of your account and set the new figure there, since you cannot simply start over. Any change you make is confirmed to you in writing.
Is there any way to shorten a self-exclusion once it starts?
+
No. The pause runs for the whole period you chose and nobody here can cut it short. Use the cooling-off option instead when you want only a short break.
