Responsible Gambling

Gambling should stay a form of entertainment — it is never a source of income or a fix for financial problems. This page sets out practical guidance and support resources for gambling more safely in Australia.

Warning signs

If any of the signs below sound familiar, it is worth reaching out for professional help:

Spending more time or money than you planned.
Gambling more in order to chase losses.
Borrowing money to gamble.
Letting family, work or study responsibilities slip.
Feeling irritable when you try to cut down.
Hiding your gambling from family and friends.

Self-exclusion and limits

Australia's National Self-Exclusion Register (BetStop) lets eligible users self-exclude from licensed Australian wagering operators for a minimum period. Alongside it, you can use the tools each operator offers: deposit limits, loss limits, session time limits and reality checks.
