Responsible Gambling

Keep gambling in perspective

Gambling is not a way to earn an income or solve financial problems. Losing is always possible. Only adults aged 18 and over should access gambling services, and only where those services are lawful.

Set limits before you begin

• Set a spending limit you can afford to lose and a time limit you can keep.
• Never borrow money to gamble or use money needed for bills and essentials.
• Do not chase losses or increase spending to recover earlier losses.
• Take regular breaks and avoid gambling while distressed or impaired.
• Use deposit limits, cool-off periods and self-exclusion tools offered by the operator.

Australian rules

Online casino services are subject to restrictions in Australia under the Interactive Gambling Act. Overseas licensing is not Australian approval. Read current guidance from the Australian Communications and Media Authority before accessing a gambling website.

Get support

Confidential help is available through Gambling Help Online and the national gambling helpline on 1800 858 858. Gambling Therapy also offers international support.

Free play

The mini-slot on this guide uses no money and pays no cash prize. Free-play results are not an indication of success in a real-money game. If playing feels hard to control, stop and speak to someone you trust or a support service.
