Responsible Gambling and Spin City Casino: An Australian Guide

Spin City Casino is not available to Australians. Its own terms (clause 2.1.4) exclude Australian residents from real-money play, and under the Interactive Gambling Act 2001 online casino and slot services to people in Australia are prohibited.

This page is purely informational. The public pages and terms we reviewed do not describe deposit limits, time-outs, reality checks or self-exclusion, and the casino's Curaçao licence is listed as revoked, so there is little regulatory protection to fall back on. If gambling is causing you or someone close to you harm, Gambling Help Online offers free, confidential support 24/7 on 1800 858 858.

What we could and could not verify about player-protection tools

According to the terms of service, the casino at spin.city is run by Faro Entertainment N.V. (Curaçao), with Faro Entertainment Europe Limited (Cyprus) named as the site operator. Our research covered the homepage, the bonus, cashback and VIP pages, and the terms PDF. None of these sources described responsible gambling tools such as deposit limits, loss or session limits, cooling-off periods or self-exclusion. That doesn't prove the tools are missing, but we can't confirm them, so we won't describe features we haven't seen. Note also that the link between this website (spincity888.bet) and spin.city is unconfirmed.

If you already have an account: questions to put to support

  • How do I close my account permanently, and what happens to any remaining balance?
  • Can I self-exclude, for how long, and does it cover sports betting as well as the casino?
  • Is there a time-out or cooling-off option, and for which periods?
  • How do I opt out of bonus offers, marketing emails and messages?

The homepage says support is available day and night by live chat and email, in English, German, Polish, Danish and Russian. The About page also lists phone support and describes live chat as 24/7. We couldn't find a published support email address or phone number. Ask for answers in writing (in chat or by email) so you have a record. More on contact options is on our customer support page.

Site terms that affect your money

Several payment and withdrawal rules in the terms affect how easily a player can stop and get their money out. Amounts are shown in euros, as stated by the site.

RuleWhat the site statesWhy it matters
Minimum deposit€10Small, repeated top-ups add up quickly.
Deposit turnoverEach deposit must be wagered 2× before withdrawal, otherwise a 10% fee is chargedWithdrawing straight away costs money, which can pressure players to keep going.
Pending periodWithdrawals stay pending for 0–48 hoursA pending withdrawal can be tempting to reverse and play with.
Withdrawal caps€5,000 per week, €15,000 per monthLarge balances take time to cash out.
Large winsWins of €50,000 or more may be paid in 10 monthly instalmentsA big win may not be paid out in one go.
VerificationExtra checks may apply above €2,000 in total withdrawals; documents must be sent within 14 daysDelays in verification can keep money tied up in the account.
Inactivity fee€5 per month after 12 months without logging inA balance left behind can be eaten away over time.
Minimum withdrawal€20, or €100 by bank transferSmall leftover balances may be hard to withdraw.

How the bonus, cashback and VIP terms work

Bonus conditions are designed to encourage more and faster play. The general terms set 40× wagering unless stated otherwise, a €5 maximum bet with bonus money, and a 7-day expiry on free spins; the bonus page says the welcome offer is valid for 5 days after registration. Weekly cashback is 5% of losses, or 6% with 15× wagering for players who deposit €20 or more that week. There's also a VIP club with Celebrity, Superstar and Icon tiers, and a loyalty program whose top status is Lord. Cashback and status levels reward more play; they don't reduce the overall cost of gambling.

Warning signs of problem gambling

  • You spend more money or time than you planned, more and more often.
  • You chase losses, gambling again to win back what you've lost.
  • You gamble with money meant for rent, bills, groceries or loan repayments, or you borrow to gamble.
  • You hide or play down your gambling with family, friends or a partner.
  • You feel restless, irritable or anxious when you try to cut back or stop.
  • Gambling crowds out sleep, work, study or time with people close to you.
  • You see gambling as a way to fix money problems or escape stress.
  • You keep raising stakes to get the same buzz.

One sign on its own may not mean there's a problem. If several sound familiar, take a break and talk to someone you trust or a professional service such as Gambling Help Online.

Practical ways to stay in control of any gambling

  1. Decide on a budget in advancePick an amount you can afford to lose entirely. Treat it as the cost of entertainment, not an investment.
  2. Set a time limitUse a phone alarm or timer rather than relying on a site to remind you.
  3. Never chase lossesWhen the budget is gone, stop. Cashback and bonuses don't change the house edge.
  4. Keep gambling away from stressAvoid gambling when you're upset, tired or drinking.
  5. Talk about itLet someone you trust know how much you gamble, and reach out early if it's getting harder to stop.

If you have an account and have decided to stop

  1. Withdraw any remaining balance, so the €5 monthly inactivity fee doesn't eat into it after 12 months.
  2. Contact support and ask for your account to be closed or self-excluded, and ask them to confirm the duration and scope in writing.
  3. Delete the Android app if you installed it, and remove any home-screen shortcut on iOS.
  4. Unsubscribe from casino emails and messages.
  5. Tell someone you trust and contact Gambling Help Online.

Can Australians play at Spin City Casino?
No. Australia is among the countries excluded from real-money play under terms clause 2.1.4, and the Interactive Gambling Act 2001 prohibits online casino and slot services to Australians.
Does Spin City Casino offer deposit limits or self-exclusion?
We couldn't confirm this. The homepage, promotion pages and terms we reviewed don't describe these tools. Existing account holders should ask support and get the answer in writing.
Is Spin City regulated by an Australian authority?
No. It isn't licensed in Australia, its Curaçao licence is listed as revoked, and it doesn't appear on the iGaming Ontario, German GGL or Portuguese SRIJ lists we checked.
What happens to a balance if I stop logging in?
After 12 months without logging in, an inactivity fee of €5 per month applies, so withdraw any balance before you stop.
Is weekly cashback a safety net?
No. Cashback is 5% (or 6% with 15× wagering) of weekly losses, so most of what's lost stays lost. It's no reason to chase losses.
Where can I get help in Australia?
Gambling Help Online offers free, confidential support 24/7 on 1800 858 858 and at gamblinghelponline.org.au.
