Responsible Gambling

Gambling should be a form of entertainment — not a way to make money or recover losses. If gambling is affecting you or someone you know, help is available in Australia.

Signs of Problem Gambling

  • Spending more money or time gambling than you intended
  • Chasing losses by continuing to gamble after losing
  • Gambling to escape stress, anxiety, or other problems
  • Neglecting work, family, or other responsibilities because of gambling
  • Borrowing money or selling possessions to fund gambling
  • Feeling unable to stop, reduce, or control your gambling

Self-Exclusion and Blocking Tools

BetStop — National Self-Exclusion Register: BetStop allows you to self-exclude from all Australian-licensed interactive wagering services. betstop.gov.au. Note: BetStop covers licensed Australian operators only — it does not apply to offshore casinos.

BetBlocker: A free blocking application that prevents access to gambling websites on your device. Available at betblocker.org.

Gamban: A subscription-based blocking tool (approximately A$40/year) covering a broader range of gambling sites including offshore platforms. gamban.com.

Bank-side blocks: Many Australian banks allow you to block gambling transactions (MCC 7995) through your banking app or by contacting your bank directly. This works regardless of the casino's own self-exclusion systems.
