Account questions
Five tools
Switch on the controls that suit your week
Reach these tools the moment you notice spending or time drifting past what you planned.
Capping what goes in
This caps how much you can add to the account within a set day, week or month, so switch it on before your first deposit of the session.
What are loss limits?
It stops play once losses in a chosen period reach the level you set, which suits anyone who wants a fixed ceiling rather than a rough sense.
Time check that pops up
A reminder appears after the time you choose, showing how long you have been playing, so set it if sessions tend to stretch unnoticed.
A full break from play
Closing your account for a chosen stretch prevents deposits and play in that period, and it is the right tool once limits keep being raised.
How long have I been on?
It shows the time played and the money moved at fixed points during a session, and it helps if you lose track while switching between games.
Setting up
How do I set a limit here?
Once you finish these four steps, your chosen deposit limit is active in your account.
Open your settings
Sign in with your email address and open the settings area of your account; check that the page shows your own verified details before you change anything.
Choose deposit or loss
Choose the limit type you need, deposit or loss, and read the short description on screen so you pick the one that matches the ceiling you want.
Set amount and period
Enter the amount, then choose day, week or month; check the figure carefully, because the period you select sets how often the cap applies.
A glance after saving
Confirm the change and wait for the on-screen acknowledgement; check that the new limit appears in your settings before you deposit again.
Three ways to stop
Pick a break that matches what you need
Can I just take a few days off?
Ask support to pause your account and play stops for hours or days, while your balance and history stay where they are. Nothing is closed and you can pick up again afterwards.
You have decided that enough is enough
A longer stop shuts access to your account for months, and the decision stays in place once it is set. Request it through support and every product on your account is out of reach until the period ends.
Cover beyond one casino
BetStop is the national register run by the Australian Government through ACMA, with a minimum of 3 months and up to lifetime. You register yourself and the exclusion cannot be shortened; it covers licensed wagering providers, not this casino, so pair it with an account exclusion. betstop.gov.au

Catching it early
You notice play has stopped feeling like fun
Spotting these early gives you room to act while play is still a pastime with a price. A deposit limit or a pause set now is the first step, and help is free when you want it.

Straight answers here
Does self-exclusion here cover other casinos?
My brother gambles too much, can I call the helpline for advice?
+
Yes. The National Gambling Helpline on 1800 858 858 takes calls from worried relatives as well as from players, around the clock and free of charge. Counsellors there can explain what support exists near you and how to raise the subject without a fight.
Does self-exclusion at one casino block me everywhere?
+
Not on its own. A self-exclusion set inside your Bag Casino account covers only this account, so other operators stay open to you. BetStop, the Australian Government register, is the one that stops you across licensed online and phone wagering providers, and it takes about five minutes to lodge.
What does a short pause actually stop on my account?
+
A pause freezes play for the stretch you choose while the account itself stays in place, so your history and balance are untouched. Play becomes possible again once that stretch ends, without a request to support. Treat the length as a decision made now, not a break you can shave down later.
Why does the casino keep asking me for proof of age?
+
Because gambling here is for adults of 18 and over, and age has to be checked before an account is used for real money. Bags Casino verifies players as part of the standard process, and play cannot continue until that is settled. It protects the operator as much as it protects you.
How do I shut my Bag Casino account permanently?
+
Email [email protected] from your registered address and ask for permanent closure, stating that you want the account gone rather than paused. Support confirms it, and the step is not reversible at your end. If other sites remain a problem, BetStop covers them all in one registration.
Can I end a self-exclusion early if I change my mind?
+
No. A self-exclusion holds for the whole period you picked, which is the point of choosing it while your judgement is clear. Do not treat the period as a formality you can lift in a good week. Shorter breaks exist as pauses, so use those when a long block is not what you want.
