Responsible Gambling

Know the facts

The odds are always in the operator's favour over time. Chances are you're about to lose. Only ever gamble with money you can afford to lose, set a limit before you start, and never chase your losses.

Warning signs of gambling harm

Gambling stops being entertainment when it starts costing you more than money. Consider seeking help if you:

Gamble with money you cannot afford to lose
Spend more time or money gambling than planned
Chase losses — try to win back money through new bets
Hide or lie about your gambling to family and friends
Feel anxious or irritable when not betting
Borrow money to gamble or to pay gambling debts
Cannot stop despite trying
Miss work, study or family time because of gambling
Use gambling to escape problems or negative feelings
Gamble to cope with stress or depression

Tools to stay in control

From your account you can set deposit limits, take a deposit break, set reality reminders, or self-exclude. Deposit-limit reductions take effect immediately; increases are subject to a 7-day cooling-off period.

Deposit limits

We ask you to set a deposit limit when you open your account — you can set one then or later from your account. You can lower a limit at any time with immediate effect; increases are delayed by a 7-day cooling-off period so a heated moment cannot raise your exposure.

Take a break (cool-off)

You can suspend your account for 24 hours, 7 days, 30 days, 90 days or 6 months from your account settings. During a break you cannot bet or deposit; your account stays open for withdrawals and to settle open bets.

Activity statements & reality checks

We send a monthly account activity statement showing your total deposits, total bets, winnings and net position, so you can see what gambling is really costing you. You can also set reality reminders during a session.

Pre-commitment

We do not offer sign-up bonuses, bonus bets, deposit matches or any inducements to open an account or keep betting. Setting your limits in advance — pre-commitment — is the most effective way to stay in control.

Self-exclusion

If you need to stop, you can self-exclude with us for 3 months, 6 months, 1 year, 5 years or indefinitely. We will close your account to new bets and deposits and remove you from marketing for the chosen period.

BetStop — national self-exclusion

BetStop is the free Australian Government register. Once registered you cannot open or use an account with any licensed Australian online or phone wagering provider. Visit betstop.gov.au.
