Signs it might be a problem
Gambling can become harmful for anyone. You might notice it in yourself or someone close to you. Common signs include:
Tools to stay in control
Every licensed Australian bookmaker must offer tools to help you manage your betting. You’ll find these in your account settings:
Set a daily, weekly or monthly cap on how much you can deposit. Decreases apply immediately.
Lock yourself out for a set period — a day, a week or longer — to step away and reset.
Review your wins, losses and time spent — and get reminders while you're logged in.
BetStop — the National Self-Exclusion Register lets you exclude yourself from all licensed Australian online bookmakers at once, for a period you choose. Visit betstop.gov.au.
