Responsible Gambling

Our Commitment to Responsible Gambling

Dolphin 88 is committed to providing a safe and enjoyable entertainment experience for all players in Australia. We believe gambling should always remain a form of fun rather than a source of financial or emotional stress. This page outlines the tools and resources available to help you stay in control of your play, and directs you to independent support services should you need further assistance.

Recognising the Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

Problem gambling can affect anyone, regardless of age, background, or experience level. Common warning signs include spending more time or money than intended, chasing losses, neglecting work or relationships, borrowing money to gamble, and feeling anxious or irritable when not gambling. If you notice these patterns in yourself or someone close to you, it is important to seek support early and consider using the tools described below.

Setting Deposit Limits

Dolphin 88 allows players to set daily, weekly, or monthly deposit limits on their account to help manage spending. These limits can be adjusted from your account settings, though increases may be subject to a short cooling-off period to encourage thoughtful decision-making. We encourage all players to set a limit that reflects an amount they are comfortable losing.

Taking a Time-Out

If you feel you need a short break from gambling, our time-out feature allows you to temporarily restrict access to your account for a set period, such as 24 hours, a week, or a month. During this time, you will be unable to log in or place any bets. This option is designed to give you space to reflect on your gambling habits without permanently closing your account.

Self-Exclusion Options

For players who wish to stop gambling entirely for an extended period, Dolphin 88 offers a self-exclusion facility that can be activated for six months, one year, or longer. Once self-exclusion is in place, your account will be closed and you will not receive marketing communications from us during this period. We also encourage players to consider national or state-based self-exclusion programs for broader protection across multiple operators.

Reality Checks and Account Activity Tracking

To help you stay aware of your gambling behaviour, Dolphin 88 provides reality check notifications during play, reminding you of the time elapsed since you began your session. Players can also review their deposit, wager, and loss history within their account dashboard. Regularly reviewing this activity can help you make informed decisions about your continued play.

Gambling and Underage Persons

Dolphin 88 strictly prohibits access to individuals under the age of 18. We employ verification checks to confirm the age and identity of all account holders. Parents and guardians are encouraged to use household filtering software to help prevent underage access to gambling websites.

Seeking Independent Support

If you or someone you know is struggling with gambling-related harm, we strongly encourage reaching out to independent, professional support organisations in your local area. These services offer free, confidential counselling, helplines, and other resources tailored to your circumstances. Dolphin 88 does not provide clinical or financial advice, and we recommend consulting local Australian support services for personalised guidance.

Reviewing and Updating This Policy

Dolphin 88 regularly reviews its responsible gambling practices to align with evolving industry standards and player welfare expectations. This page was last updated in 2026 and may be revised periodically to reflect new tools, features, or guidance. We encourage players to check this page from time to time to stay informed of any changes.
