BetStop
BetStop is Australia's National Self-Exclusion Register. It lets you exclude yourself from all licensed Australian wagering services. Offshore casinos, including those reviewed here, aren't covered by BetStop, but many offer their own self-exclusion and deposit limit tools, noted in our individual reviews.
Signs to Watch For
- Chasing losses with bigger deposits than planned
- Spending more time or money than you meant to, more than once
- Using money set aside for bills to gamble
- Feeling anxious or irritable when you're not gambling
- Hiding how much you spend from family or friends
Before You Deposit
- Set a deposit limit through your bank or the casino's account tools, before you start
- Decide a loss limit in advance and stick to it
- Don't gamble to chase back a previous loss
No Australian-licensed online casino exists, but the helplines above are free and available regardless of where you play.
