Gambling should be an enjoyable form of entertainment, not a way to make money or escape problems. If gambling stops being fun, help is available. This page provides information on responsible gambling tools and support services for Australian players.
Gambling in Perspective
All casino games carry a house edge, meaning that over time the casino retains a statistical advantage. Bonuses and free spins are subject to wagering requirements that make converting them into withdrawable cash challenging on small balances. Never gamble with money you cannot afford to lose, and do not chase losses.
Responsible Gambling Tools
Reputable online casinos offer a range of responsible gambling tools. These vary by casino but typically include:
- Deposit limits: Set daily, weekly, or monthly limits on how much you can deposit.
- Loss limits: Restrict the total amount you can lose within a set time period.
- Session reminders: Receive a notification after a set period of play to remind you how long you have been gambling.
- Reality checks: Pop-up reminders of how much time has passed during a session.
- Time-out: Temporarily suspend your casino account for 24 hours to several weeks.
- Self-exclusion: Permanently or temporarily block yourself from a casino or group of casinos. Australia’s National Self-Exclusion Register for interactive gambling is operated by ACMA.
These tools are available in the account settings or responsible gambling section of each casino. We encourage all players to review and use these tools before they need them.
Signs of Problem Gambling
Problem gambling can affect anyone. Warning signs include: gambling with money needed for essentials; borrowing or selling items to fund gambling; feeling anxious or irritable when not gambling; concealing gambling activity; chasing losses; gambling to escape stress or difficult emotions.
