Where to Find Responsible Gambling Controls in Your Account

To use responsible gambling controls in your account, start from your account settings and look for a responsible gambling section (labels may vary).

1. Sign in to your account using an official access path.
2. Open your account area and go to settings or profile settings.
3. Look for a section labelled responsible gambling (or similar).
4. Choose the control you want to set (for example, limits, time-out, or self-exclusion).
5. Follow the on-screen steps and confirm your choice.
6. Return to the same section to confirm the control shows as active.

For definitions and account rules that sit alongside controls, read the terms and rules shown on the site.

Limits: Deposits, Spend, Loss, and Time

Limits help you stay within boundaries you choose ahead of time. Availability and labels can vary, so rely on what is shown in your account.

• Deposit limits: cap how much you can add to your account within a period.
• Spend limits: cap how much you can stake within a period.
• Loss limits: cap net losses within a period (if offered and defined on-screen).
• Time limits: cap the time spent in sessions or within a period (if offered).
• Review and adjust carefully: treat limits as protective boundaries, not targets.
• Choose realistic numbers: start smaller than you think you “need” and align it with your real budget.
• Re-check active limits: confirm what is currently set before you wager.
• Avoid workarounds: opening additional accounts to bypass limits defeats the purpose and may breach account rules.

Time-Outs, Cooling-Off, and Account Closure

If you need a stronger pause, use time-out and self-exclusion options where available in your account.

1. Open the responsible gambling section in your account settings.
2. Select a time-out/cooling-off option if it is shown for your account.
3. Choose the duration offered on-screen and confirm.
4. Log out and remove saved passwords from your browser/device if needed.
5. Mute gambling-related notifications and avoid content that triggers urges.
6. If you want to stop completely, look for an account closure option or ask support what is available.

If you can’t access controls in your account, contact support to ask what options are available for your profile.

Self-Exclusion in Australia (Including BetStop)

Self-exclusion is a stronger step designed to block access to wagering services for a chosen period. It is intended to help reduce harm and prevent impulsive betting.

What self-exclusion can do:

• Restrict access to betting services covered by the specific self-exclusion option you choose.
• Help reduce temptation by making betting unavailable during the exclusion period.
• Reduce marketing contact from covered providers (as defined by the program).
• Support a reset period so you can focus on recovery and healthier habits.
• Provide a clear boundary that does not rely on willpower alone.

What self-exclusion may not do:

• It may not cover illegal or unlicensed offshore services.
• It does not automatically resolve debts or financial problems.
• It may not block all gambling content on the internet or social media.

Self-exclusion options you can consider:

• BetStop: the Australian Government National Self-Exclusion Register for licensed Australian online and phone wagering providers (a single registration can apply across covered providers).
• Operator tools: any self-exclusion option shown in your account settings (if available).
• Venue/state programs: separate self-exclusion systems may exist for venues in your state or territory.

BetStop registration is separate from any single-operator setting, so consider using both if you want the strongest protection.
