Responsible gambling

Keep gambling within your limits

Gambling is not a way to earn income or recover losses. Decide on a time and spending limit before playing, and never use money needed for essentials. Do not borrow money to gamble.

Recognise warning signs

Chasing losses, concealing spending, neglecting commitments or feeling unable to stop may indicate gambling harm. Take a break and seek support if gambling stops being enjoyable.

Account tools

Ask the operator about deposit limits, cooling-off periods and self-exclusion. Availability and scope differ between providers. Self-exclusion from one provider may not cover other services.

Free, confidential help

Gambling Help Online provides Australian support. Call 1800 858 858. Gambling Therapy offers international support.

BetStop covers participating Australian licensed online and phone wagering providers; it is not a universal block for overseas casinos.

Adults only

Gambling is for people aged 18 and over. Check local law and provider eligibility before using any service.
