How to disable the ability to replenish your account
Why turn off refills
The refill disable feature is a responsible play tool that allows players to restrict access to deposit funds. It is used to protect the budget, prevent excessive spending and control game activity.
The main ways to disable replenishment
1. Through the personal account of the casino
In the "Responsible game" or "Account settings" section, the function of blocking deposits is usually available.
The player can choose to temporarily block (for example, 24 hours, week, month) or completely disable replenishment.
After activation, replenishment of the account becomes technically impossible before the expiration of the established period.
2. Contact Support
You can submit a request to chat or email.
The operator must apply the restriction and confirm its activation.
It is important to keep in mind that the re-inclusion of replenishments is often available only after checks and delays (from 24 hours to 7 days).
3. Restrictions through payment systems
Banks and electronic wallets allow you to independently block transfers to the category of "gambling."
Many Australian banks (ANZ, Commonwealth Bank, Westpac) offer card-level casino payment blackouts.
Virtual cards or prepaid solutions can simply be closed or deactivated.
Difference from full self-exclusive lock
Disabling replenishment limits only the deposit of funds, but access to the account and the game for the money already deposited remains.
A complete self-exclusion block completely closes access to the casino for the selected period.
Legislative aspects in Australia
Casinos aimed at Australian gamblers are required to provide deposit restriction tools and the ability to disable them.
When requesting a lock, the operator has no right to refuse.
Reactivation of the function may be delayed to prevent impulsive decisions.
When to turn off refills
When the personal budget for the game is exceeded.
When signs of gaming addiction occur.
If necessary, a temporary pause in game activity.
In cases where a credit card is used (risk of uncontrolled debts).
Conclusion
Turning off the ability to replenish your account is an effective way to maintain control over expenses and ensure a responsible attitude to gambling. Players can set up this tool on their own in the casino's personal account, through support or payment systems. This step helps minimize risks and keep the game within a safe framework.
