Responsible Gaming

Surge Casino is committed to supporting a safe, balanced and informed approach to gambling. Gambling should be an enjoyable form of entertainment, not a way to make money or solve financial problems. Set limits before you play, understand the risks and take a break whenever gambling stops being fun.

Surge Casino operates under licence ALSI-202504047-FI2 issued by the Government of the Autonomous Island of Anjouan, Union of Comoros.

Gambling should remain entertainment

Gambling involves risk, and there is no guaranteed way to win. Outcomes are determined by chance or by the rules of the relevant game, so previous results do not predict future results. A winning streak cannot be relied on, and losses cannot be recovered by continuing to play. Only gamble with money you can afford to lose after essential living costs and other financial commitments have been met.

Before starting a session, consider how much time and money you are comfortable spending. Treat that amount as an entertainment expense rather than an investment. Never borrow money, use money intended for bills or household needs, or sell possessions to fund gambling. Avoid gambling when you are upset, tired, under the influence of alcohol or other substances, or trying to escape personal or financial difficulties.

Responsible gambling also means making informed choices. Read the rules of a game before playing, check the value of any wager and understand that house edges, fees or other conditions may apply. Promotional material should not be treated as a reason to gamble more than planned. If you choose not to accept an offer, you should be able to continue making your own decisions about when and how you play.

Practical habits for safer play

Decide your spending and time limits before you begin.
Keep gambling funds separate from money needed for rent, food, bills and other essentials.
Use available deposit, wagering, loss or session controls where offered.
Take regular breaks and avoid playing for longer than planned.
Keep a personal record of deposits, wagers and losses so your gambling remains visible.
Do not chase losses or increase stakes to try to recover money.
Do not gamble on behalf of another person or allow another person to use your account.
Talk with someone you trust if gambling begins to affect your mood, relationships or finances.

Set limits and take control

Limits can help you stay within the boundaries you set for yourself. Depending on the features available on the platform, you may be able to manage deposits, wagers, losses, session duration or account access. Select limits that reflect your budget and personal circumstances, and review them regularly. A limit is most useful when it is set before gambling begins and treated as a firm boundary.

If you find it difficult to follow your limits, stop gambling and seek assistance. Do not respond to a limit by opening another account, using another person’s account or finding ways around an account restriction. Account controls are intended to support safer gambling and should not be bypassed.

Taking a break

A temporary break can be useful if you want time away from gambling. During a break, remove gambling applications or shortcuts where possible, avoid gambling-related content and ask a trusted person to support your decision. If you need a longer-term solution, you may consider account closure or self-exclusion where those options are available.

Self-exclusion is a voluntary decision to prevent or restrict access to gambling for a chosen period or until further notice, subject to the applicable process and conditions. It is an important step when you believe you cannot control your gambling. Once you request self-exclusion or account closure, do not attempt to create or use another account to continue playing.

Decide whether you need a short break, a longer break or permanent exclusion.
Use the responsible gambling or account support options available on the website.
Follow any verification or confirmation steps required for the request.
Stop using the account once the restriction has been requested or applied.
Seek independent support to understand the reasons for gambling and plan next steps.

Recognising gambling harm

Gambling harm can affect anyone, regardless of age, income or previous experience. It may develop gradually, and people do not always recognise the signs themselves. Concern is not limited to the amount of money lost. Gambling can also affect time, concentration, sleep, emotional wellbeing, family life, work and other responsibilities.

Possible warning signs

Spending more time or money gambling than you intended.
Thinking about gambling frequently or finding it difficult to focus on other activities.
Chasing losses or believing a win is needed to put things right.
Increasing the amount or frequency of wagers to achieve the same excitement.
Hiding gambling activity, deposits, losses or account statements from others.
Borrowing money, missing payments or using credit to gamble.
Feeling anxious, irritable, guilty or low because of gambling.
Arguing with family, friends or colleagues about gambling.
Neglecting work, study, health, relationships or everyday responsibilities.
Trying to stop or cut back but being unable to do so.

One or more of these signs may indicate that gambling is becoming harmful. You do not need to wait for a crisis before asking for help. Stop playing, use the available account controls and speak with a qualified support service or health professional. Support can also help family members, friends and other people affected by someone else’s gambling.

If gambling is causing immediate financial, emotional or personal danger, prioritise your safety and contact appropriate emergency or crisis support in Australia. For non-urgent help, consider an Australian gambling support service, a counsellor, a financial counsellor or a medical professional. These services can provide confidential guidance, practical planning and referral to further assistance.

Our approach to player protection

Surge Casino aims to promote responsible gambling through clear information, account controls and support processes. We may provide tools or guidance designed to help players manage their activity, identify concerns and take a break. The availability and operation of particular features may depend on the account, service and applicable requirements.

Players are responsible for providing accurate information, keeping account credentials secure and using their account only for themselves. You must meet the applicable age and eligibility requirements before using gambling services. Do not allow children or other unauthorised people to access an account or gambling device. Consider using device controls, passwords and payment security features to reduce unwanted access.

We may review account activity and take steps where activity raises responsible gambling, identity, safety or compliance concerns. These steps may include requesting information, applying restrictions, pausing activity or closing an account, subject to applicable terms and requirements. Responsible gambling tools do not remove the underlying risk of gambling, and no tool can guarantee that harm will not occur.

Where to get help

If you are concerned about your gambling, use the responsible gambling support options available through your account or contact an appropriate support service in Australia. You can also speak with your doctor, a qualified counsellor or a financial counsellor. If you are supporting someone else, set clear boundaries around money and account access, avoid paying gambling debts where doing so may enable further gambling, and seek advice for yourself.

For account-related questions, use the support channel made available on the Surge Casino website. Please do not include unnecessary sensitive information when requesting assistance. If your concern involves immediate danger, contact emergency services or an appropriate crisis service without delay.

Responsible gambling is an ongoing choice. Review your habits regularly, keep your limits realistic and take action early if something changes. If gambling is no longer enjoyable or is affecting your life, stopping is a positive and responsible decision.
