Automatic Charge - How to Turn Off

What is automatic write-off

Auto debit is a function in which the system of a payment provider or the casino itself debits money from a card or wallet without separate confirmation of each payment. It is usually activated when:

• subscription to VIP programs;
• buying packages of chips or tournament tickets;
• using cards and electronic wallets with the "recurring payment" function.

For Australian players, such operations can be risky, as they complicate budget control and create the risk of unexpected write-offs.

Why it's important to turn off auto-recording

Cost control - the player decides when and how much to deposit into the account.
Debt prevention - eliminates the risk of regular credit card charges.
Responsible game - auto payments contradict the principles of control and self-regulation.
Protection against hidden subscriptions - some casinos or providers may include the option automatically.

Ways to disable automatic write-off

1. In the settings of the casino account

Go to Payments or Subscriptions.
Find active auto payments.
Manually disable or unsubscribe.
Important: the casino must provide a function to refuse automatic write-off.

2. Via Support

Send a request to chat or email.
Request cancellation of auto schedules and block recurring payments.
Save confirmation from the operator (screenshot or letter).

3. On the side of the payment provider

Turn off "auto payment" in the Internet bank or mobile application.
In PayPal - "Pre-approved payments" section.
In Visa/Mastercard - through bank support, request blocking of regular transactions.
In crypto wallets, auto-records are absent by default, so the risk is minimal.

Legislative features in Australia

Financial institutions are required to provide customers with the ability to cancel regular payments.
Casinos operating in Australia's jurisdiction must have a voluntary opt-out and auto-sign-up feature.
In case of disputed debits, the player has the right to submit a chargeback request through a bank or payment system.

How to make sure autoruns are turned off

1. Check your transaction history in recent months.
2. Make sure that there are no active subscriptions in the casino's personal account.
3. Check the settings of payment systems (PayPal, Skrill, bank).
4. Configure SMS or push notifications for each charge.

Conclusion

Automatic debiting is a convenient tool for casinos, but risky for players. To maintain control over finances and avoid unexpected expenses, it is worth turning off auto payments both in the settings of the casino account and on the side of the bank or payment system. For the people of Australia, this is one of the key tools for responsible play and financial security.
