Responsible Gambling

At GO33AU we want gambling to stay fun. It should be a form of entertainment — never a way to make money or escape problems. This page explains how to keep your play safe and where to get free, confidential help.

Play safe — a few simple rules

• Only gamble with money you can afford to lose — never rent, bills or borrowed money.
• Set a budget and a time limit before you start, and stick to them.
• Never chase your losses. Trying to win back money usually makes it worse.
• Take regular breaks and don't gamble when stressed, upset or under the influence.
• Treat any winnings as a bonus, not as income you can rely on.

You must be 18 or over

18+Gambling is strictly for adults aged 18 and over. It is illegal for anyone under 18 to gamble. If children have access to your device, please use parental controls and filtering tools (such as Family Zone or built-in device controls) to block gambling content.

Know the warning signs

Gambling may be becoming a problem if you:

• Spend more time or money than you intended, or try to hide it.
• Borrow money or sell things to keep gambling.
• Feel anxious, guilty or irritable about your gambling.
• Neglect work, study, family or friends because of it.
• Gamble to escape stress, boredom or low mood.

If any of these sound familiar, please reach out to the services above — support is free and non-judgemental.

Tools that can help

• Set limits: use deposit, loss and session limits where available to cap your spending.
• Take a break: a cooling-off period pauses your account for a set time.
• Self-exclusion: you can ask to be excluded for a longer period, or nationally via BetStop, Australia's National Self-Exclusion Register.
