Responsible Gambling
Gambling should be a paid form of entertainment, never a way to earn money or fix a money problem. This page sets out simple habits that protect you, and where to get free help in Australia.
Adults only
You must be 18 or over. Do not share your account, and do not let minors use your devices to gamble. Parental control tools can block gambling sites on shared devices.
Check the rules where you live
Online casino services may be restricted or unlawful in your region. Under Australian law, offering certain interactive gambling services to people in Australia is restricted. A foreign licence reference does not mean a service is authorised in Australia. Confirm your position before you play.
Habits that help
- Set a deposit limit before you start and keep to it.
- Decide how long you will play and take regular breaks.
- Never chase losses or play to win back money.
- Do not gamble with money meant for bills, rent or food.
- Avoid gambling when stressed, upset or after drinking.
- Read bonus wagering rules, since they can lock funds.
Warning signs
Hiding gambling from people close to you, borrowing to play, feeling irritable when you stop, or spending longer than planned are all signs it may be time to step back and talk to someone.
