This page covers practical advice for keeping gambling under control, along with what this site can and cannot do for you.
Know What This Site Can and Cannot Do
This site publishes information only. Everything you can actually do with money happens after you leave: 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.
That means this site cannot stop you from gambling, limit your spending or lock you out of anywhere. If you want those kinds of controls, you arrange them yourself inside your account at the destination you use. The eighteen-and-over restriction is repeated throughout this site, including on the front page, and it applies to every link here.
No advertising or behavioural profiling network is present in these pages, so nothing here is targeted at a reader who has shown risky behaviour. This site does not use cookies, and its visit counting records only page views and clicks on outbound buttons.
Set Your Rules Before the First Bet
Decide the amount before you start, and treat it as already spent. Once money is mentally gone, a loss feels like the end of a session rather than a debt to win back, which keeps your decisions calm.
Never chase a loss. Raising stakes to recover money tends to deepen the hole quickly, because the odds don't change just because you need them to. Stop when your set amount runs out, even mid-session.
Keep gambling out of borrowed money entirely, including credit cards and loans from mates. Borrowed money carries a cost long after the session ends, and it turns entertainment into an obligation.
Take regular breaks away from the screen. Time passes quickly during play, and stepping away gives you a chance to check whether you're still enjoying yourself or just continuing out of habit.
Bring Someone In Early
If gambling stops feeling like entertainment, tell someone you trust sooner rather than later. Another person can notice patterns you may be too close to see, and talking about it early is far easier than untangling a larger problem later.
On this page, as on every page of this site, you'll find links to three independent gambling-help organisations: GambleAware NSW, Gambling Help Online and Responsible Gambling. Each is an independent source of help you can turn to.
These are the only outbound links on the whole site that are not commercial. Unlike the operator links, they carry no sponsored marking, they are set to nofollow, and they open in a separate tab on the organisations' own websites. This site receives nothing when you follow them.
