Every page of this site, this one included, links to three independent sources of gambling help: GambleAware NSW, Gambling Help Online and 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 one. The site is for adults only, and the eighteen-and-over restriction is repeated throughout it, including on the front page.
Nothing here is targeted at a reader who has shown risky behaviour. The only visit data recorded is the page path, the event type, the name of the referring search engine and the text of any outbound button clicked. That data is recorded only when you arrive from a search engine, and it is used only to count page views and clicks.
Habits
- Decide the amount before you start. A figure chosen calmly beforehand is far more reliable than one chosen mid-session, when wins and losses distort your sense of what is reasonable.
- Treat that amount as already spent. If you think of it as the price of entertainment, like a concert ticket, losing it isn't a problem to be fixed. Anything that comes back is a bonus rather than an expectation.
- Never chase a loss. Each bet is independent of the last, so a losing streak doesn't make a win "due". Raising stakes to recover money usually turns a small, planned loss into a large, unplanned one.
- Keep gambling out of borrowed money. Credit cards, loans or money set aside for bills add interest and real consequences to a pastime. If you'd need to borrow to keep playing, the session has already gone past its budget.
- Take regular breaks. Fast games make time and money slip by unnoticed. Stepping away for a meal, a walk or a night's sleep gives you the chance to check whether you're still enjoying it.
- Involve someone else early. If gambling stops feeling like entertainment, or you find yourself hiding it, tell a person you trust, or contact one of the organisations linked on this page. It is easier to change course with support than alone, and it is easier the sooner you start.
Boundaries
Nothing you can do with money happens on this site. Each operator link first passes through a path on this domain and then redirects to a third party. From that moment, the destination's own rules, checks and account controls apply, not anything published here. The destination also receives the request directly from your browser and keeps its own record of it, under privacy practices this site does not control.
This site cannot stop you from playing, block your access to an operator, or track your spending on your behalf. If you want to set a spending cap, take a time-out or close an account, you have to arrange it inside your own account at the destination site, preferably before you start playing rather than in the middle of a session. If you're unsure how, or if those steps aren't enough, the three independent organisations named at the top of this page are a better place to turn than any page here.
