You are the one who decides how much time and money goes toward gambling, and you are the one who decides when to stop. This page sets out practical habits worth keeping in mind, along with a plain account of what this particular site can and cannot do for you.
Before you click: planning ahead
Decisions made before you start are easier than decisions made in the middle of play, when a loss or a near-win can cloud judgment.
- Decide the amount you are willing to spend before you begin, and treat it as already spent rather than as money you expect back.
- Never use borrowed money for gambling, so a loss stays contained to what you could afford to set aside.
- Take breaks at set points rather than playing until you decide to stop, since fatigue tends to push decisions in the wrong direction.
- If a session stops feeling like entertainment and starts feeling like something you need to do, involve someone else early rather than waiting for it to resolve itself.
- Never chase a loss by increasing a stake to win it back; the amount already spent is gone regardless of what happens next.
- You must be eighteen or over to gamble; that restriction runs throughout this site, including on the front page and at the end of every operator listing.
Controls that live elsewhere: account only
Tools such as deposit caps, loss caps, reality checks, cooling-off periods and self-exclusion are things you set up inside an account at the operator you choose to use, not something this page can switch on or check for you.
- This site has no account, no form and no server-side application, so nothing published here can enable, monitor or enforce any such control.
- Nobody's age is verified on this site and no gambling takes place on it; any check of that kind happens at the destination once you follow a link there.
- Everything you can actually do with money begins after you leave this site: each operator link redirects to a third party, and from that point its rules, checks and account controls apply, not anything published here.
- Each of the ten operator listings ends with the same line: check availability and the current terms at the destination before claiming anything, since eligibility rules and terms apply there and can change without notice.
Independent help: three organisations
Every page of this site, including this one, carries links to three independent gambling-help organisations. They are named exactly as follows: gambleaware.nsw.gov.au, gamblinghelponline.org.au, and responsiblegambling.vic.gov.au.
- These are the only outbound links on the whole site that carry no sponsored marking; they are set to nofollow and open in a separate tab on the organisations' own websites.
- This site receives nothing when a reader follows any of these three links.
- No advertising or behavioural profiling network runs on these pages, so nothing here is targeted at a reader who has shown risky behaviour.
