Five controls

Control that fits the way you play

Every worry about spending getting away from you, answered by one tool at a time.

A fixed entry point

A deposit limit caps how much can enter the account in a chosen period. Switch it on before you start playing, so the ceiling is already there.

Before the losses, not after

A loss limit stops play once net losses reach a figure you chose earlier. Set it at the start of a session rather than after a bad run.

When an evening drifts

A reminder arrives while you play and tells you how long the session has run. Turn it on when an evening tends to drift past what you planned.

A pause with an end

A cooling-off period pauses the account for a set time. Reach for it when you want distance without closing the door for good.

Close the door firmly

Self-exclusion closes gambling on your account entirely. Choose it when you have decided that a break should not be your own decision to undo.

A few minutes

The cap you set before the first spin

Four short steps that leave a limit saved and visible in the account.

Inside your profile

Open your profile menu and look for the limits area. Everything below happens there, inside the account you already use.

Which one do I need?

Pick the tool that matches your concern: deposits, losses, session time or a break. Each one is set separately.

When the limit applies

Choose how long the limit should run. A longer period gives you a boundary that does not need revisiting each visit.

See it saved

Save the change, then reopen the limits area to confirm the figure and period are listed. If anything looks wrong, contact support.

Read this before your next session

Catching these early keeps one bad night from becoming a habit. A limit set in the account, or a short pause, is the first step, and you choose it while you are calm.

None of these is a verdict; together they suggest play has changed shape.

You plan a short session and stay far longer
Deposits happen after a loss, not a plan
Money set aside for bills has gone into play
You keep sessions quiet from people close to you
Chasing a loss feels more urgent than stopping
Sleep and work are bending around play
You feel restless on days when you do not play

Someone to talk to

Free confidential services across the country

These services settle what you say, who listens and what it costs, before you decide anything else.

National Gambling Helpline

A free national line for anyone worried about their own play or someone else's, answered every hour of the year. Counselling comes by chat and email, with self-help tools and a directory of local services. Everything you say stays confidential. 1800 858 858 gamblinghelponline.org.au

Gamblers Anonymous Australia

Peer support groups run across Australia, where people who gamble, and relatives who live with it, sit with others who understand the pull. Find a meeting near you through the organisation's listing and simply turn up. gaaustralia.org.au

National Debt Helpline

Free financial counselling for gambling debt, taking the pressure off money worries one step at a time. The line answers on weekday business hours, and relatives can call for guidance as well. ndh.org.au

How long should a break last?

Start a short break. A pause locks play for a set number of hours or days, started from the account itself before it takes effect. During that window deposits and play stay shut. When the period ends, the account opens as it was.

Self-exclusion in your account. Longer than a pause, this closes access to play for an extended period and holds until it finishes. You set it inside the account, and it cannot be undone early or trimmed short. Until it ends, the account stays closed to gambling.

The national register. BetStop is the Australian national self-exclusion register, run by the Australian Government through ACMA. You apply there directly, in about five minutes, and can nominate someone to support you. Registration lasts at least three months and can reach a lifetime. betstop.gov.au

Where to turn

Questions that come up once the limit is set

Plain replies, worded the way our support team would put them on live chat.

What does a cooling-off period do to my account, and when can I play again?+

Your account stays open but the casino is closed to you for the stretch you picked. Play becomes possible again on its own once that stretch ends, with no request needed from you. Nothing is deleted, so your balance and history wait for you.

After a limit is saved, can I make it more generous later?+

The limits area keeps every figure you have chosen, and you can adjust it there whenever you wish. Set amounts apply to future deposits rather than past ones, so picking a number before you begin is easier than picking one afterwards. Talk to live chat if the screen will not accept a change.

Where do I find the spending controls when I only ever use my phone?+

On a handset the same section sits inside your account menu, with the identical list of controls. Limits you set there are stored against your account, not your device, so they follow you to a laptop as well. Switching between the two changes nothing you have already saved.

Can a self-exclusion be lifted before the period I chose runs out?+

No. The block holds for the full period you selected, and we do not shorten it. That firmness is the point: it protects the decision made in a calm moment from a later one made in a rush. Choose a length you can live with.

I want my account shut for good. Who do I ask at the casino?+

Write to [email protected] from your registered email address and ask for permanent closure. Our team confirms the request, then the account is closed and cannot be reopened by you. A cooling-off period first is fine if you would rather not decide in a hurry.

My brother spends too much at casinos. Is the helpline for family too?+

Yes. The National Gambling Helpline on 1800 858 858 takes calls from relatives and friends as well as players, at any hour. Their counsellors also point family members to local services and to practical steps they can take themselves. You do not need his permission to call.
