Responsible Gambling

Gambling can cause financial and emotional harm. It should never be treated as a source of income or a way to recover losses. This website is for adults aged 18 and over.

Set limits before you play

Decide how much time and money you can afford to spend. Keep essential expenses separate, avoid borrowing to gamble and take regular breaks. Do not gamble when distressed or under the influence of alcohol or other substances.

Recognise warning signs

Chasing losses, hiding gambling activity, missing work or family commitments, and repeatedly exceeding your budget may indicate harm. Stop and seek independent help rather than depositing more.

Access and exclusions

Check the rules that apply where you live. A foreign licence is not an Australian authorisation. Do not bypass location restrictions. Use available blocking, account closure and self-exclusion tools. BetStop covers licensed Australian online and telephone wagering providers; it does not cover every offshore casino.
