STAYING IN CONTROL

There are practical steps customers can take to manage their wagering:

  • Set a budget before you start wagering
  • Only wager money you can afford to lose
  • Do not chase losses
  • Keep track of the time and money you spend
  • Take regular breaks
  • Do not use gambling to solve financial problems

TOOLS / 02

RESPONSIBLE GAMBLING TOOLS

Betaroo.co provides tools to help customers manage how much time and money they spend wagering.

Deposit Limits

Customers can set limits on how much they deposit during a selected period. Reducing a limit takes effect without unnecessary delay, while increases may be subject to a cooling-off period.

Taking a Break

Customers who feel they are wagering too frequently or spending more than intended can temporarily suspend their wagering activity.

Reality Checks

Periodic reminders help customers remain aware of how long they have been wagering and whether they wish to continue.

Loss & Spend Limits

Loss limits help control total losses over a period. Spend limits help control total amounts wagered. Reducing limits takes effect promptly; increases may involve a cooling-off period.

Self-Exclusion

Customers who need a sustained break can self-exclude, restricting access to wagering for a nominated period. Self-exclusion is different from closing an account.

IMPORTANT

SELF-EXCLUSION & BETSTOP

During a self-exclusion period, customers cannot place wagers, deposit funds or access their account. Customers must not create a new account or use another person's account.

BETSTOP - National Self-Exclusion Register

BetStop is Australia's National Self-Exclusion Register. It is a free, independent service that allows people to exclude themselves from all licensed Australian wagering service providers.

Closing Your Account

Customers may request account closure at any time. Account closure does not automatically carry the same protections as self-exclusion. Customers closing their account should consider whether self-exclusion is more appropriate.

WARNING SIGNS

RECOGNISING GAMBLING HARM

Gambling can become harmful when it begins to affect finances, relationships, work or wellbeing. Warning signs include:

  • Spending more money or time wagering than intended
  • Chasing losses
  • Borrowing money to gamble
  • Using money needed for essential expenses
  • Hiding gambling activity from others
  • Feeling anxious, guilty or distressed about gambling
  • Gambling affecting work, study or relationships

Check Your Gambling

Consider these questions honestly:

  • 01 Do you wager more than you can comfortably afford to lose?
  • 02 Do you try to recover money you have already lost?
  • 03 Have you borrowed money or sold possessions to fund gambling?
  • 04 Has someone close to you expressed concern about your gambling?
  • 05 Do you feel anxious, guilty or unhappy about your gambling?

If you answer yes to any of these, consider using responsible wagering tools or contacting Gambling Help Online on 1800 858 858.

ACCOUNT HISTORY

KEEPING TRACK OF YOUR GAMBLING

Customers are encouraged to review their wagering activity regularly. Account history provides information on deposits, withdrawals, wagers, wins, losses and overall activity.

Reviewing activity helps customers understand their wagering patterns and assess whether limits remain appropriate. A limit set previously may no longer suit current circumstances.
