Responsible gambling

Every brand on this site is for adults aged 18 and over. Treat the money you deposit as the price of an evening's entertainment, not as an investment, and never fund an account from rent, bills, credit or borrowed money.

The habits worth watching for are ordinary ones: raising stakes to win back a bad session, playing longer than planned, keeping the amounts to yourself, or reaching for the cashier straight after a loss. One of those on its own means little. Two or three together are worth acting on the same week.

The controls live inside your account, and they work best when you set them before your first deposit rather than after a bad night. Deposit caps, loss limits, session reminders and cooling-off periods are standard at every casino listed here. A limit you lower takes effect immediately; one you raise sits behind a waiting period, which is exactly the point of it.

Free and confidential help is available around the clock. Gambling Help Online at gamblinghelponline.org.au runs web chat and email counselling, the national helpline answers on 1800 858 858, and Gambler's Help offers face to face appointments in most states. Family members can use all three services, and none of them require you to stop playing before you call.
