Responsible Gambling

Gambling is meant to stay a form of entertainment. It is not a source of income and it is not a way to solve financial problems. The notes below give practical guidance and support contacts for safer gambling in Australia.

Warning signs

If any of the following signs apply to you, consider getting professional help:

Using more time or money than you had planned.
Trying to recover losses by gambling more.
Borrowing money in order to gamble.
Letting family, work, or study responsibilities slip.
Becoming irritable when you attempt to cut down.
Keeping gambling activity hidden from family and friends.

Self-exclusion and limits

Eligible people can use Australia's National Self-Exclusion Register (BetStop) to self-exclude from licensed Australian wagering operators for a minimum period. Licensed operators also provide tools such as deposit limits, loss limits, session time limits, and reality checks.
