Responsible Play & Account Security – Space9AU
At Space9AU, your safety, privacy and control come first. We want online pokies to remain entertainment only – never a solution for money problems. This page explains how we protect your account, which tools you can use to stay in control, and where to get independent help in Australia if gambling stops feeling fun.
Our Security Promise
- Encrypted Transactions: We use encryption and secure connections so that your personal details and payment information are protected during transfer.
- Fast, Checked Withdrawals: Our goal is to process withdrawals as quickly as possible once standard verification checks are complete.
- Verified Identity (KYC): Identity checks help prevent fraud, protect your balance and ensure that only you can access your account.
- Device & Session Protection: We limit concurrent sessions and may request additional verification if we detect unusual activity on your account.
Self-Control Tools
We encourage every player to set limits before starting to play. Depending on your region and account settings, the following tools may be available:
- Deposit Limits: Set daily, weekly or monthly deposit caps so you never spend more than you planned.
- Loss and Session Limits: Decide in advance how much you are prepared to lose or how long you want to play in a single session.
- Time-Out / Short Break: Take a cooling-off break for a set period if you feel you need to step away.
- Self-Exclusion: If you feel your gambling is becoming harmful, you can request a longer self-exclusion period and stop access to your account.
When to Pause and Reflect
Consider taking a break or seeking help if you notice any of these signs:
- Spending more money or time than you originally planned.
- Chasing losses or trying to “win back” what you have lost.
- Hiding your gambling from family or friends.
- Gambling with money that should be used for bills, rent or essentials.
- Feeling stressed, anxious, guilty or unable to stop thinking about gambling.

Smart Play Tips
- Only gamble with money you can afford to lose.
- Set a budget and time limit before you start playing.
- Do not gamble when tired, upset, under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
- Treat any wins as a bonus, not guaranteed income.
- Use deposit and loss limits, and take breaks often.
Final Reminder
Online pokies involve real financial risk. Space9AU is intended for adults over 18 in regions where online gambling is legal. If gambling is no longer fun or starts to affect your life negatively, please stop playing and contact a professional support service.
