Gambling is entertainment. For most people, it remains that way. But for some, gambling can become harmful. This page provides honest information about responsible gambling tools and support services available to Australian players.
Know the Signs
Gambling may be causing harm if you notice any of the following:
- Spending more money or time gambling than you intend
- Gambling to recover previous losses ("chasing losses")
- Gambling affecting relationships, work, or financial wellbeing
- Feeling anxious, irritable, or restless when not gambling
- Hiding gambling activity from family or friends
- Borrowing money or selling possessions to fund gambling
Recognising these signs is the first step. Help is available and effective.
Tools Available at Casinos
Reputable online casinos offer responsible gambling tools. These typically include:
- Deposit limits: Set daily, weekly, or monthly maximum deposit amounts
- Loss limits: Cap the amount you can lose within a set period
- Session time limits: Restrict how long you can play in one session
- Reality checks: Notifications reminding you how long you have been playing
- Self-exclusion: Block yourself from a casino for a set period or permanently
- Cooling-off periods: Temporarily suspend your account
To access these tools, look in your casino account settings under "Responsible Gaming" or contact the casino's support team directly.
