Comparison of RG functionality in different online casinos

Introduction

Responsible Gambling (RG) tools help maintain control over rates. Different casinos offer different features and UX solutions. Below is an honest technical overview of the five key RG mechanisms at Australia's leading online operators.

1. Deposit and loss limits

Casino	Deposit limit (min/step)	Loss-limit	UI/UX settings	Entry into force
Bet365	from $10, step $10	is	separate page "Limits" in LC	decrease 24 h, increase immediately
Sportsbet	from $20, step $5	is	pop-up widget in the side menu	both operations after 24 hours
Unibet	from $5, step $5	is	"Self-Control" tab with sliders	decrease instantaneously, increase 24 h
PointsBet	from $50, step $25	no	in the "Responsible Gaming" section	deposit only, reduction 24 h
Jackpot City	from $10, step $10	is	single RG settings screen	both at 24 h

2. Time-out and reality checks

Casino	Timeout	Reality check interval	Notification method
Bet365	5-60 min, separate screen	15/30/60 min	in-app modal window
Sportsbet	30/60/120 min	30/60 min	push + modalka
Unibet	15-90 min	15/ 30/45/60 min	modal window only
PointsBet	10-120 min	20/40/60 min	e-mail + modalka
Jackpot City	5-30 min	15/30/60 min	in-app + SMS (on request)

3. Self-exclusion и BetStop

Casino	Local SE	Integration with BetStop	Timing of selection
Bet365	30/90/365/indefinite	is	selection on RG page
Sportsbet	30/90/365/indefinite	is	via "Self-Exclusion"
Unibet	30/180/365/indefinite	is	available in LC
PointsBet	30/90/365 days	is	deep-link к BetStop
Jackpot City	30/90/365 days	no	only locally

4. Technical blockers

Casino	Recommendations	API access
Everything is higher	Gamban, BetBlocker, hosts file, DNS filters	no - to the user himself

💡 Comment: Casinos don't put their own blockers, but RG pages offer links to third-party apps and instructions for setting up hosts/DNS.

5. Convenience and support

Bet365: Most comprehensive UI: Tips, FAQs, Quick Support Chat with Limit Change Form

Sportsbet: Focus on push notifications and SMS alerts when limits are triggered.

Unibet: built-in self-assessment (PGSI) along with RG tools.

PointsBet: the simplest design, but there is no loss limit, which reduces the completeness of protection.

Jackpot City: Decent documentation, but limited choice of timeout and BetStop integration is not.

Conclusions and recommendations

1. If you need flexible deposit and loss control, choose Bet365 or Unibet.

2. For strong time control - Sportsbet offers the best timeout + notification set.

3. For complex self-exclusion - PointsBet and Sportsbet give deep-link to BetStop.

4. For beginners - Unibet: simple UI and built-in PGSI test.

5. Technical Filters - Use third-party blockers regardless of casino.

Conclusion

All licensed Australian casinos implement basic RG tools, but vary in depth and convenience. The comparison will help you choose a site where it is more comfortable for you to set limits, pause and, if necessary, self-exclude. Activate at least one mechanism and the game will remain a safe entertainment.
