Online casino play should always remain a form of entertainment, not a way to make money or solve financial problems. We encourage every visitor to gamble responsibly and to recognise the signs of problem gambling early.
1. Key Principles of Responsible Play
- Only gamble with money you can afford to lose.
- Set a strict budget for each session and stick to it.
- Never chase losses.
- Take regular breaks and do not play when tired, stressed or under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
- Treat any win as a bonus, not as income or a baseline for future sessions.
- Balance gambling with other activities and social life.
2. Tools Available at Most Casinos
Reputable operators provide tools that help you stay in control. We recommend activating these as soon as you open an account:
- Deposit limits – daily, weekly or monthly caps on how much you can deposit.
- Loss limits – restrict the total amount you can lose in a period.
- Session time reminders / reality checks – pop-ups that show how long you have been playing.
- Cooling-off periods – temporary short breaks (24 hours to several weeks).
- Self-exclusion – longer-term or permanent account closure.
Note: Offshore casinos are generally not connected to Australia’s national self-exclusion register (BetStop). Self-exclusion must usually be requested directly with each operator.
3. Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
- Spending more time or money than you intended.
- Borrowing money or selling possessions to fund gambling.
- Neglecting work, family or other responsibilities.
- Feeling anxious, irritable or depressed when not gambling.
- Lying about how much you gamble or how much you have lost.
- Chasing losses with larger bets.
- Gambling to escape problems or negative feelings.
If several of these apply to you or someone you know, it is time to seek help.
