đ Self-Exclusion: Your Right to Take a Break
Self-exclusion is the most powerful tool available to Australian casino players. When you self-exclude from True Fortune Casino, your account is closed and you cannot access the casino for a specified periodâtypically ranging from 6 months to 5 years. You will not receive marketing communications, and deposits are blocked entirely.
How to Self-Exclude at True Fortune Casino
- Log into your True Fortune account
- Navigate to Settings â Responsible Gambling
- Select "Self-Exclusion Request"
- Choose your exclusion period (6 months, 1 year, 2 years, or 5 years)
- Enter your password to confirm
- Receive confirmation emailâself-exclusion takes effect immediately
Once self-excluded, you cannot request early removal during your exclusion period. This is intentionalâit removes the temptation to resume play impulsively. If you wish to return after your period expires, you must contact our support team and may be required to wait an additional cooling-off period before reactivating your account.
Is Self-Exclusion Linked to Other Casinos?
No. Self-exclusion at True Fortune applies only to True Fortune Casino. However, Australia has a National Self-Exclusion Register (coordinated through Gambling Help Online and state-based services). If you self-exclude nationally, you may gain protections across multiple venues. See Australian support resources below for more information.
đ˛ Deposit & Loss Limits: Set Your Boundaries
If you're not ready for full self-exclusion, deposit limits and loss limits are effective harm-reduction tools. True Fortune allows you to cap the amount of money you can deposit within a rolling 7-day, 30-day, or 90-day period.
Types of Limits Available at True Fortune
| Limit Type | Description | How to Set |
|---|---|---|
| Deposit Limit | Maximum amount you can deposit in a rolling period | Account Settings â Limits â Deposit Cap |
| Loss Limit | Maximum net losses permitted in a rolling period | Account Settings â Limits â Loss Cap |
| Spend Limit | Total funds spent on games (combination of wins & losses) | Account Settings â Limits â Spend Cap |
| Wager Limit | Maximum amount you can stake per bet | Account Settings â Limits â Bet Cap |
Setting Deposit Limits: Step-by-Step
- Access your account and log in
- Go to Settings â Responsible Gambling â Limits
- Select "Set Deposit Limit"
- Choose your time period: 7 days, 30 days, or 90 days
- Enter your maximum deposit amount (in AUD)
- Confirm and review your settings
- Limit takes effect immediatelyâyou cannot exceed it
IMPORTANT: Once a limit is set, you cannot increase it immediately. If you wish to raise your deposit limit, you must wait until your current limit period expires. This prevents impulsive decisions during active play.
Can I Remove a Limit?
Yes, but with safeguards. You can request limit removal, but it takes effect only after a mandatory 7-day reflection period. This delay gives you time to reconsider and prevents reactive decisions made during a session.
â¸ď¸ Cooling-Off Periods: Pause Without Closing
A cooling-off period is different from self-exclusion. Instead of permanently closing your account, you temporarily suspend accessâusually for 24 hours up to 6 weeks. Your account remains active, but you cannot play, deposit, or access your funds.
When to Request a Cooling-Off Period
- After a significant loss you want to reflect on
- If you feel your play is becoming uncontrolled
- Before extended periods (e.g., holidays) when you want to avoid temptation
- As a harm-reduction step before considering full self-exclusion
How to Activate Cooling-Off at True Fortune
Navigate to Settings â Responsible Gambling â Cooling-Off. Select your break period (24 hours, 7 days, 14 days, 30 days, or 6 weeks), confirm, and your account freezes immediately. You will receive an email confirmation. Once your cooling-off period ends, your account automatically reactivatesâno action needed from you.
đ Account Controls & Verification
True Fortune enforces account verification and identity checks as part of our player protection policy. When you register, you must provide valid Australian identification. This ensures:
- Age verification â confirming you're 18 or older
- Identity confirmation â preventing duplicate or fraudulent accounts
- Address verification â linking your account to a real Australian location
- Self-exclusion enforcement â preventing circumvention via multiple accounts
If you create multiple accounts to bypass self-exclusion or deposit limits, True Fortune will identify and close them. For more details on account security and login procedures, see our login guide.

â Frequently Asked Questions About Responsible Gambling
Can I Undo Self-Exclusion Early?
No. Self-exclusion is designed to be irreversible for the period you choose. This is intentionalâremoving the option to impulsively resume play during vulnerable moments. Once your exclusion period expires, you must wait an additional cooling-off period (typically 7-14 days) before reactivating.
Will Self-Excluding From True Fortune Block Me From Other Casinos?
Only if you separately self-exclude from those venues. However, you can register with Australia's National Self-Exclusion Register (managed by state authorities) to gain protections across multiple licensed operators. Contact Gambling Help Online for guidance.
What Happens to My Account Balance If I Self-Exclude?
Your balance remains in your account and can be withdrawn. You have 30 days from your self-exclusion request to request a withdrawal. After 30 days, unclaimed balances may be subject to forfeiture (depending on terms and local regulations). We recommend withdrawing any remaining funds immediately upon self-exclusion.
Can I Set Multiple Limits at Once?
Yes. You can set a deposit limit, loss limit, and spend limit simultaneously. They work togetherâif any limit is reached, play stops immediately until the period resets.
Do Limits Apply to Bonuses?
Bonus funds are subject to the same limits as real-money deposits. If you have a $500 deposit limit and claim a $100 bonus, you can only deposit $400 in real money during that period.
Is There a Limit on How Low I Can Set My Deposit Cap?
No. You can set a deposit limit as low as $1 AUD if you choose. This allows ultra-conservative players to restrict spending to minimal amounts.
What If I Have a Gambling Problem But Don't Want to Self-Exclude?
Self-exclusion isn't mandatory. Many players benefit from combining deposit limits with counselling support. Contact Gambling Help Online (1800 858 858) to speak with a counsellorâyou don't need to self-exclude to access free help.
Are True Fortune's Responsible Gambling Tools Mandatory?
No. These tools are optional, but we strongly encourage all players to set at least a deposit limit. Think of it as financial boundariesâsimilar to setting a budget for any discretionary spending.
How Do I Report Another Player's Problem Gambling?
If you're concerned about another player's behaviour, you can contact True Fortune support directly. Additionally, you can report to state gambling authorities or contact Gambling Help Online for guidance on supporting someone with a gambling problem.
Does True Fortune Offer Matched Betting or Betting Syndicate Services?
No. True Fortune operates as a standard online casino. We do not facilitate matched betting, betting syndicates, or other strategies designed to exploit bonuses. Such activities violate our terms and may result in account suspension.
