Keep play in perspective
Gambling should never interfere with essential expenses, relationships, work or wellbeing. Casino games involve chance, and no strategy guarantees a profit. This website is intended for adults aged 18 or over.
Set limits first
- Choose a spending limit you can afford to lose, before you begin.
- Set a time limit and take regular breaks.
- Never borrow money or use funds intended for bills.
- Do not chase losses or increase stakes to recover money.
- Avoid playing while distressed or under the influence of alcohol.
Recognise warning signs
Repeatedly exceeding limits, hiding spending, borrowing to gamble or feeling unable to stop are reasons to pause and seek support. Asking for help early is a practical step, not a failure.
Australian support
Gambling Help Online provides free, confidential support. The Australian gambling helpline is 1800 858 858. You can also visit Gambling Therapy for international support.
Self-exclusion
Ask the operator about account closure, deposit limits, cooling-off periods and self-exclusion. BetStop applies to Australian licensed online and telephone wagering providers; it does not automatically block all offshore casino websites.
Local law and offshore services
An offshore licence does not mean a service is authorised to offer online casino gambling in Australia. Check current guidance from ACMA and do not use services that are unlawful in your location. Keep gambling websites away from children and do not share access to accounts.
