Responsible Gaming

Gambling should always be entertainment. The moment it stops being fun, the tools and contacts on this page exist to help you take back control. They are free, confidential and available 24/7.

Know the signs

  • Spending more money or time gambling than you planned.
  • Chasing losses, or gambling to escape stress and low moods.
  • Borrowing money to gamble, or hiding gambling from people close to you.
  • Neglecting work, study or relationships because of gambling.

If any of these feel familiar, consider using the tools below and talking to one of the support services.

Tools you can use right now

  • Deposit limits: cap how much you can deposit per day, week or month. Lowering a limit applies immediately; raising one takes effect after a cooling-off period.
  • Loss and wager limits: cap net losses or total stakes over a period.
  • Reality checks: on-screen reminders showing how long you have been playing.
  • Time-out: lock your account for 24 hours up to 6 weeks.
  • Self-exclusion: close your account for 6 months or more, or permanently. During self-exclusion the account cannot be reopened and marketing stops.

All tools are available in your account settings or by asking support in live chat, and requests are actioned without delay.

A few honest rules of thumb

  • Only gamble money you can afford to lose, never money set aside for bills.
  • Decide your budget and your stop time before you start, not during.
  • Losses are the cost of the entertainment; winning streaks end. Never chase.
  • Balance gambling with other activities, and never gamble while upset or under the influence.

Does BetStop block WinSpirit?

No, BetStop covers Australian-licensed operators only. The working stack offshore is a device blocker, a bank gambling block and a written self-exclusion request to the casino, together.
