At Relax Max, we believe gambling should be an entertaining pastime — never a source of financial hardship or emotional distress. We are committed to promoting responsible gambling and providing our readers with the tools and information they need to stay in control.
Decide how much you can afford to lose before you start playing. Never gamble with money you need for essential expenses like rent, bills, or food.
Decide in advance how long you will play and stick to it. Use session timers offered by most online casinos to help you keep track.
Losing is a normal part of gambling. Trying to win back losses by increasing your bets almost always leads to bigger losses.
Step away from the screen regularly. Continuous play can lead to poor decision-making and loss of perspective.
Alcohol and drugs impair judgement. Avoid gambling when you're not in a clear state of mind.
Most reputable casinos offer deposit limits, loss limits, wagering limits, and self-exclusion options. Set these up before your first session.
If you recognise any of these signs in yourself or someone you know, please reach out for help.

If you feel you need to take a break from gambling, self-exclusion is a powerful tool. Most online casinos allow you to self-exclude for a period of your choosing — from 24 hours to permanent exclusion. Australia's BetStop register allows you to exclude yourself from all licensed Australian operators in one step.
As a casino review site, Relax Max takes its responsibility seriously. We only recommend operators that offer responsible gambling tools, and we include information about these tools in every review. We do not target anyone under the age of 18, and we encourage all visitors to gamble responsibly.
