Protection Built In

When Play Starts Feeling Like a Task

Many players worry that asking for a limit will close their account or cost them something.

  1. 1

    Cap What Goes In

    A ceiling on what you move into the casino over a chosen period, set when you want a firm number rather than a good intention.

  2. 2

    Loss Ceiling

    A stopping point for net losses, useful when you would rather end a session on a set figure than on a mood.

  3. 3

    When an Evening Disappears

    A quiet prompt that tells you how long you have been playing, worth switching on whenever a session can slip past an hour.

  4. 4

    Before Play, Not After

    A full block on your account, chosen when you want a break longer than a pause and would rather not negotiate with yourself later.

  5. 5

    Reality Checks

    A periodic summary of time and money during play, helpful if you like to keep an eye on pace without leaving the game.

Quick Setup

Work Through It While You Are Signed In

Cobra Casino keeps this simple: you decide the frame, the account holds it for you.

Where Is the Profile?
Sign in and open the profile area from the top of the screen, then look for the section marked for limits rather than payments.
More Than One Cap
Inside the limits section, choose whether you want a deposit cap, a loss cap or both, then pick the period that fits how you play.
Before the First Spin
Pick the figure before the session, not after a loss, and keep it small enough that a bad night stays an ordinary one.
Confirmation Screen
Confirm the setting, then reopen the limits page to check that the number you chose is the number showing on your account.
Seven Signals

From Treat to Obligation

Watch your own reactions across a few sessions, because patterns show up long before a night goes wrong. Setting a limit or starting a pause early keeps the choice in your hands.
Signs Worth Acting On
Scan this list and be honest about how many feel familiar.
  • Chasing a loss into the next morning
  • Spending money set aside for bills
  • Hiding sessions from people close to you
  • Watching the clock until you can play again
  • Borrowing to keep the same stake
  • Telling yourself it is the last time
  • Playing longer than you planned, again

The Moment You Pause

Pick the Break That Fits

Step Away for a Few Days
Request a short pause from your account settings when you need hours or days away. Choose the length that suits you, confirm it, and sign-in and deposits stay closed until it ends. Access returns on its own at the end.
Choose a Longer Break
Close your account access for a longer stretch through the same settings, choosing a fixed period that you cannot cut short once it starts. Marketing stops and deposits are blocked for the whole term. Reopening is only possible after the term ends.

The Questions You Bring

Does Blocking Here Block Me Elsewhere?

If I exclude myself at Cobra Casino, am I blocked at other casinos too?
+
No. An exclusion in your Cobra Casino account covers this account alone. To stop betting across licensed providers, add your name to BetStop, the national register run by the Australian Government.
Can I shorten my self-exclusion if I change my mind?
+
No. The period you pick runs to the end, with no shortening. A pause is the lighter option if you only want a short break.
Why do I have to prove I am 18 or over?
+
Because 18+ is the legal age to gamble here, and checks keep underage players out. One verified account per person also keeps the limits you set attached to the right player.
What does a short pause do to my account, and when can I play again?
+
A pause locks you out of play for the length you choose; your balance and history stay put. Play opens again by itself once that period ends, and you can choose a longer pause or an exclusion at any time.
How do I shut my account permanently rather than pause it?
+
Write to the support team at [email protected] and state clearly that you want the account closed. Support confirms it, and a closure like this ends further play at Cobra Casino.
