You should only gamble with money you can comfortably lose, and only if you are eighteen or over, a restriction repeated throughout this site, including on the front page. This page sets out practical habits that keep gambling in its place and explains exactly what this site can and cannot do for you.
Good habits start before the first bet
Decide on an amount before you begin, while your judgement is not yet shaped by wins or losses. Once you have set it, treat that money as already spent. Thinking of it as the price of entertainment makes it easier to walk away when it runs out.
Never chase a loss. Raising your stakes to win back what is gone usually makes the hole deeper, because the odds do not change in your favour. Keep gambling away from borrowed money, too. Borrowed funds can turn a bad evening into a debt that lasts for months.
Take regular breaks. Stepping away interrupts the rhythm of play and gives you a moment to check whether you are still enjoying yourself. If gambling stops feeling like entertainment, involve someone you trust early. A second view is easier to get before the problem grows.
Controls live where the money is
Everything you can actually do with money happens after you leave this site. Each operator link redirects to a third party, and from that moment the destination's rules, checks and account controls apply, not anything published here. This site cannot stop you from playing. If you want limits or a break, you arrange them inside your account at the destination.
No advertising or behavioural profiling network is present on these pages, so nothing here is targeted at a reader who has shown risky behaviour.
Independent help is linked on every page
Every page of this site carries links to three independent sources of help, including the links on this page:
- GambleAware NSW
- Gambling Help Online
- Responsible Gambling
These are the only non-commercial outbound links on the site. Unlike the operator links, they carry no sponsored marking. They are set to nofollow and open in a separate tab on each organisation's own website. This site receives nothing when you follow them.
