Gambling should remain a form of entertainment. It is never a source of income or a method for solving financial problems. This page sets out practical guidance and support resources for safer gambling in Australia.
Warning signs
If any of the signs below sound familiar, consider seeking professional help:
- Spending more time or money than planned.
- Chasing losses by gambling more.
- Borrowing money to gamble.
- Neglecting family, work, or study responsibilities.
- Feeling irritable when trying to cut down.
- Hiding gambling activity from family and friends.
Self-exclusion and limits
Through Australia's National Self-Exclusion Register (BetStop), eligible users can self-exclude from licensed Australian wagering operators for a minimum period. Operator tools such as deposit limits, loss limits, session time limits, and reality checks are also available.
