Responsible Gaming

You are reading a static information page. Nothing you do here creates an account, moves money or checks your age — those things only happen after you follow a link to an operator's own site, where that operator's rules take over.

Decide Your Limits Before You Click Through

The strongest control you have is the one you set in your own head before you start, because once a session is underway it is much harder to think clearly about money.

  • Choose an amount you can afford to lose and treat it as already spent, the way you would treat the price of a ticket to a show.
  • Set a time limit as well as a money limit, since long sessions wear down judgement even when the amount at stake hasn't grown.
  • Decide these numbers when you are calm, not in the middle of play, because the moment itself is the worst time to judge risk fairly.

Know Where Account Controls Actually Live

Tools such as deposit caps, loss caps, reality checks, cooling-off periods and self-exclusion belong to an account at the destination site. This page has no account, no form and no server-side application, so nothing published here can switch one of those controls on, check one or enforce one. If you want any of them, you arrange them inside your account after you leave this site.

Never Chase a Loss

A loss can feel like a problem that a bigger bet will fix, but that reasoning only increases what you have at risk without improving your odds.

  • Walk away when you hit the limit you set, regardless of whether you're up or down.
  • Keep gambling money separate from money set aside for bills, rent or debt repayment, so one bad run can't spread into the rest of your life.
  • Take a break between sessions rather than sitting straight back down after a loss, since a short pause lets the urge to recover money fade.

Bring Someone Else In Early

Involving another person while a habit is still small is far easier than trying to explain it once it has grown.

  • Tell a partner, friend or family member the limits you've set so they can ask how it's going.
  • Talk to someone as soon as gambling stops feeling like entertainment and starts feeling like something you need to do.

Use the Independent Help Links on This Page

Every page of this site, including this one, carries links to three independent gambling-help organisations: GambleAware NSW, Gambling Help Online, and Responsible Gambling. These are the only outbound links on the site that aren't commercial — they carry no sponsored marking, they are set to nofollow, and they open in a separate tab on the organisations' own websites. This site receives nothing when a reader follows them.

Understand What Happens When You Leave This Site

Everything a reader can actually do with money happens after leaving this site. Each operator link redirects to a third party, and from that moment the destination's own rules, checks and account controls apply, not anything published here. Nobody's age is verified on this site and no gambling takes place on it — any check of that kind happens at the destination. The eighteen-and-over restriction is repeated throughout this site, including on the front page. No advertising or behavioural profiling network is present in these pages, so nothing here is targeted at a reader who has shown risky behaviour.
