Tools for Safer Gambling

All reputable online casinos reviewed on our site provide tools to help you manage your gameplay. We strongly recommend using them even if you don't have a problem.

Deposit Limits Set a daily, weekly, or monthly cap on how much money you can deposit. Once you hit the limit, you cannot add more funds until the period resets.
Loss Limits Similar to deposit limits, but this restricts how much you can lose from your original balance. Winnings do not count towards this limit.
Cool-Off / Time-Out Take a break from the casino for a short period (e.g., 24 hours, 1 week). You will not be able to log in during this time.
Self-Exclusion A more permanent solution. You can request to be banned from the casino for 6 months, 1 year, or permanently. The casino will stop sending marketing materials.
Reality Checks Set up pop-up notifications that appear every 30 or 60 minutes to remind you how long you have been playing and how much you have spent.

Tips for Beginners

To ensure gambling stays a form of entertainment, follow these golden rules:

Set a Budget: Only gamble with money you can afford to lose. Never use money meant for rent, bills, or groceries.
Treat it as an Expense: View gambling losses as the cost of entertainment (like a movie ticket), not as a financial investment.
Don't Chase Losses: Trying to win back lost money usually leads to bigger losses. Accept the loss and walk away.
Set a Time Limit: Decide beforehand how long you will play (e.g., 1 hour) and stick to it.
Don't Play Under Influence: Alcohol or drugs impair judgment and can lead to reckless betting.
Take Breaks: Step away from the screen regularly to keep a clear head.

Underage Gambling is Illegal

You must be 18 years or older to gamble online in Australia. We support strict age verification checks to prevent minors from accessing gambling sites.
