Responsible Gambling
Practical guidance and Australian support resources for safer gambling.
Gambling should stay a form of entertainment — never an income source, and never a fix for financial problems. This page collects practical guidance and support resources for safer gambling in Australia.
Warning signs
If any of the signs below feel familiar, it is worth seeking professional help:
- Spending more time or money than you planned.
- Chasing losses with more gambling.
- Borrowing funds in order to gamble.
- Letting family, work or study responsibilities slip.
- Feeling irritable when trying to cut down.
- Hiding gambling activity from family and friends.
Self-exclusion and limits
Australia’s national self-exclusion register, BetStop, lets eligible users exclude themselves from licensed Australian wagering operators for a minimum period. You can also use the tools an operator offers, such as deposit limits, loss limits, session time limits, and reality checks.
