Responsible Gambling at PandiBet
What to settle before you place the first bet
Gambling at PandiBet is entertainment, and it is not a way to earn income or to recover a loss. Decide a budget before you deposit, using money that you can lose without touching rent, bills or savings, and treat that sum as the price of an evening out.
Set the budget in the account, not in your head. A deposit limit of the amount you chose stops you from topping up in the middle of a bad session, and the minimum deposit of $30 means you never need to put in more than you planned. Winnings are a bonus and not a plan, so a session that ends ahead is a good reason to withdraw, not to raise your stakes.
What happens when you set a limit or take a break
Every account includes deposit limits, loss limits, time-outs, reality checks and self-exclusion, and you set them in your account settings. A tool that makes your play stricter takes effect straight away, while one that loosens it waits until a cooling-off period has passed.
| Tool | What it does | When a change applies |
|---|---|---|
| Deposit limit | Caps the amount you can pay in | Lowering applies at once, raising after 24 hours |
| Loss limit | Caps the amount you can lose | Lowering applies at once, raising after 24 hours |
| Time-out | Blocks the account for 24 hours up to 6 weeks | Takes effect immediately |
| Reality check | Reminds you how long you have been playing | Takes effect when you switch it on |
| Self-exclusion | Closes access for 6 months up to permanent | Takes effect immediately |
The delay on raising a limit exists so that a decision made after a loss is not the one that counts. Self-exclusion with PandiBet is separate from any national register, and we apply it to this website only.
Warning signs that gambling has stopped being a pastime
Several habits point to a problem. You spend more than your budget or keep chasing a loss with larger bets, you play to escape stress or low mood, and you lie about how much time or money you spent. You may borrow to deposit, miss work or family commitments because of a session, or feel irritable when you try to stop.
If two or three of these sound familiar, take a time-out and talk to someone. A break of 24 hours is the shortest option in the account, and you can lengthen it up to 6 weeks if the pause helps.
Keeping the account away from anyone under 18
You must be at least 18 years old to open an account, and each player holds one. We confirm your age at registration and check your identity with a passport or an Australian driver’s licence before your first withdrawal, so an account opened with a false date of birth is closed and its winnings cancelled.
Adults can help us keep minors out. Keep your password and two-factor codes private, do not tick Remember Me on a device that a child uses, and avoid saving card or PayID details in a browser that others can open. Parental controls on a phone, tablet or computer can block gambling websites, and a household filter on the home router covers every device at once.
