Responsible gambling
Eighteen is the minimum age. The ten brands we rank sit outside Australian jurisdiction, so the deposit cap you set inside your own account is the main brake available to you. Set it before the first spin, not after a losing week.
Lowering a limit takes effect straight away. Raising one should not, and an operator that lifts your cap on the spot is telling you something about how it treats players. Self-exclusion requests go through live chat and are worth keeping a screenshot of.
Chasing a loss, playing to a hidden schedule and borrowing to fund a deposit are the three signals worth acting on. Gambling Help Online (gamblinghelponline.org.au) and 1800 858 858 are free and confidential, day or night, and Gambler's Help counsellors talk to partners and parents as readily as to players.
