Before your first session

What You Can Set Before a Session Starts

Each one sits in the account from day one, set by you and readable at any time.

Spending set in advance

This caps how much you can add to the account in a set period, so a session begins with a known ceiling. Switch it on before your first deposit, not after a costly night.

When a rough plan is not enough

A loss limit closes the gap between what you meant to spend and what actually went. Turn it on when you want a firm stopping point rather than a rough intention.

Keeping an eye on the clock

A gentle notice appears during play at the interval you choose, so time does not slip past unnoticed. Set one if you tend to lose track of the clock mid-session.

What if I need a real break?

This closes your account to play and deposits for a period you pick, and it stays until that period ends. Choose it when a break needs to be decided once, not argued over daily.

Seeing the spend, not guessing

A reality check pauses long sessions to show how much time has passed and what has been spent. Switch it on when you play for longer stretches and want the numbers in view.

Your own ceiling

When You Want a Cap and Do Not Know Where to Start

Where the controls live

One tool at a time

Inside that section each control is listed separately, so read the labels first and pick the one that matches what you want to hold back.

Choosing the right one

Choose deposit or loss, then pick the figure and the period that fits your budget, keeping it to money you would spend on entertainment.

Now that it is saved

Save the change, then return to the page and confirm the figure is shown there before you deposit or play again.

Before Anyone Signs Up

Under 18 Is a Hard Line

Check the Age Line

If a younger relative asks to sign up, the age gate is 18+ and no exception is made. Identity documents are checked before the first withdrawal leaves the account.

The Shared Device at Home

Where a shared laptop or a child's phone worries you, blocking software that filters gambling sites works best installed on every device. Cover the older handset too, not just the newest one.

How Do I Start?

When someone close plays past their means, choose a quiet moment and speak about what you noticed, without blame. The National Gambling Helpline also takes calls from relatives who need guidance.

Three Choices

How to Stop for a Day or for Months

Hours Away, Account Kept

A short pause is set inside your casino account and locks play for a few hours or days. You choose it before the session rather than after a loss, and the account stays open for later. When the pause ends, play resumes on the same terms.

Closed for Months, Not Undone

Choosing self-exclusion in your account shuts access to play for a long stretch, and the decision holds once made. You start it from the account settings rather than from the table, and during it the account cannot be used for play. It cannot be undone early.

Cover Across Licensed Operators

BetStop is the national register run by the Australian Government through ACMA, covering a minimum of three months and up to a lifetime. Joining takes about five minutes through the register directly, and a support person can be nominated. Once on it, licensed providers cannot let you bet or send you marketing. betstop.gov.au

Free Support

Free, Confidential Counselling Services

We would rather you used these services than kept a worry to yourself, and none of them cost you anything.

National Gambling Helpline

Ring the National Gambling Helpline at any hour of any day and speak with a counsellor about your own play or a relative's. Online chat and email counselling run alongside it, and the conversation stays private. 1800 858 858 gamblinghelponline.org.au

Gamblers Anonymous Australia

Gamblers Anonymous Australia runs peer support meetings where people who gamble, and family members, sit with others facing the same situation across the country. Reach the group and ask where the nearest meeting sits. gaaustralia.org.au

National Debt Helpline

National Debt Helpline gives free financial counselling when gambling has left you with debt, and staff can talk through what you owe without judgement. Lines open on weekdays during business hours. ndh.org.au

Time To Check In

Catching the Shift Before It Hardens

Noticing the shift early makes the next step smaller and simpler, whether that step is a deposit limit set before play or a pause on the account. Gambling is meant to cost money for fun, never to earn it back.

Signs Worth Noticing

Read through these and see whether any of them describes your last few sessions.

Playing longer than you planned
Chasing money already lost
Hiding play from people close to you
Spending money set aside for bills
Thinking about the next session all day
Borrowing to keep playing
Feeling restless when you cannot play

Six things players ask

If You Are Limiting Your Own Play

Does the mobile version show deposit limits?

The account section is the same in the mobile version, so the cap you set there is the same one that applies when you play. You reach the settings from the menu once you are signed in, and any figure already saved shows against the tool. Nothing extra needs to be installed for this.

Can relatives ring the helpline for advice?

Yes, the National Gambling Helpline advises family members as well as players, by phone and through chat and email. Callers can ask how the limits and the exclusion register work before speaking to the person they are worried about. Counsellors there also point relatives to local services, and Gamblers Anonymous Australia runs peer meetings a relative may sit in on.

Does an exclusion here stop me at other casinos?

No, an exclusion you set inside this account covers this account only. The register that reaches other licensed providers in this market is BetStop, run by the Australian Government and applied for online in about five minutes. Joining it stops registered people from betting, opening accounts or receiving marketing across the providers it covers.

Can a self-exclusion be cancelled before it ends?

No, once chosen, an exclusion runs for the whole period, and in the national register the shortest option is 3 months, running up to a lifetime. BetStop cannot shorten it either; an early cancellation is possible only after at least 3 months and needs a statutory declaration that you have seen a counsellor or a GP. Plan for the length you can live with.

Where do I adjust a limit that is already saved?

You change a limit in the same part of the account where you first set it, with the tool chosen and a new figure confirmed. Loss limits and deposit limits sit side by side there, so you can review both while you are in the section. Do this between sessions rather than in the middle of one.

Why does the casino want my age checked?

Because play here is for people of 18 and over, and the check is part of opening an account, not a formality. A document proving your identity is also what makes withdrawals possible, so the account is verified once and stays that way. Anyone who cannot show that age cannot hold an account.
