Responsible gambling

Gambling is entertainment with a price, not a way to make money. The house edge is built into every game on every site we list. If play stops being fun, the fastest fix is to stop and use one of the free Australian services below — they are confidential and they are not run by casinos.

Free help in Australia

• Gambling Help Online — 1800 858 858, 24 hours, phone and web chat, every state and territory.
• BetStop — the National Self-Exclusion Register. One registration blocks Australian-licensed interactive wagering services for the period you choose, from three months to a lifetime.
• Lifeline — 13 11 14 for crisis support, and Beyond Blue — 1300 22 4636.
• Financial Counselling Australia — 1800 007 007 if debt is the problem.

Practical limits that work

• Set a deposit limit in the casino cashier before the first deposit, not after a loss.
• Use a separate account for play money and keep cards out of the casino wallet.
• Set a session timer. Reality checks in the account settings do the same job.
• Never chase a loss with a bigger bet, and never borrow to play.

Warning signs

Playing longer or for more than planned; hiding play from family; borrowing or selling to fund it; feeling irritable when not playing; believing a win will fix the debt. Any of these is a reason to call 1800 858 858 today.

18+ only

Everything on this site is for adults. Australian operators must verify age and identity, and so must the offshore sites we list. If you are under 18, none of this is for you.

The legal frame in Australia

Under the Interactive Gambling Act 2001 online casino games are not licensed inside Australia; the operators listed on this site work under overseas licences, and the ACMA blocks services that break the Act. That is the same for every site in this market — it does not make one brand safer than another, which is why we score banking, payouts and terms instead.
