Responsible Gaming

Gambling can be an enjoyable form of entertainment when approached responsibly. This page outlines tools and support resources available to Australian players to help you stay in control.

Recognising Problem Gambling

Signs that gambling may be becoming a problem include: chasing losses, gambling with money needed for essentials, feeling anxious or irritable when not gambling, hiding gambling activity from family or friends, or borrowing money to gamble. If you recognise these signs, please seek help.

Responsible Gambling Tools

Reputable online casinos offer a range of tools to help players manage their gambling. These vary by casino but commonly include:

  • Deposit limits: Set daily, weekly or monthly limits on how much you can deposit.
  • Loss limits: Cap the amount you can lose over a set period.
  • Session reminders: Receive notifications after a set time of play.
  • Time-out: Take a break of 24 hours, 7 days, 30 days or longer.
  • Self-exclusion: Block yourself from accessing a casino for an extended period. In Australia, the national self-exclusion register for land-based venues is BetStop — visit acma.gov.au for information.

We encourage all players to set these limits before they start playing, not after problems arise. Contact the casino's responsible gambling department to activate these tools.

Gambling and Young People

Online gambling is strictly for adults who have reached the legal gambling age in their jurisdiction. In Australia, this is 18 years of age. We do not knowingly provide information to or market gambling services at minors.
