Responsible gambling

If punting stops being fun, help is free, confidential, and right here. No judgement.

Warning signs to keep an eye on

• Spending more than you planned, or chasing losses.
• Hiding bets, deposits or losses from people close to you.
• Borrowing money to keep punting.
• Punting affecting work, sleep, mood or relationships.
• Feeling like you can't stop, even when you want to.

How to stay in control

• Set a deposit limit with your bookie. Every Aussie-licensed site offers one.
• Use a fixed unit (most punters use 1% of their bankroll) and stick to it.
• Take regular breaks. Sportsbet, TAB and the rest all have a "take a break" tool. Use it.
• Treat any tip, including ours, as one input. Not a sure thing.
• Never punt money you can't afford to lose.
