This page sets out what a reader can rely on before following any link away from this site, and what happens once that link is followed. It also gives general, practical advice on keeping gambling under control.
Links
Every page of this site, including this one, carries links to three independent gambling-help organisations: GambleAware NSW, Gambling Help Online, and Responsible Gambling. These links are the only outbound links on the site that are not commercial. Unlike the operator links found elsewhere on this site, they carry no sponsored marking, are set to nofollow, and open in a separate tab on the organisation's own website. This site receives nothing when a reader follows them.
- GambleAware NSW — independent source of help
- Gambling Help Online — independent source of help
- Responsible Gambling — independent source of help
Eighteen Plus
The eighteen-and-over restriction is repeated throughout this build, including on the front page. No age check happens on this site: any verification of a reader's age takes place at the destination a reader is redirected to, not here.
Where Control Lives
Everything a reader can actually do with money happens after leaving this site. Each operator link redirects to a third party, and from that moment the destination's own rules, checks and account controls apply, not anything published here. This site has no account, no form and no server-side application behind it, so nothing published here can switch a control on, check one, or enforce one.
- Deposit limits, loss limits, reality checks, cooling-off periods and self-exclusion are arrangements a reader sets up inside an account at the destination — they are not something this site offers.
- Nobody's age is verified on this site, and no gambling takes place on it.
- No advertising or behavioural profiling network runs on these pages, so nothing here is targeted at a reader based on gambling behaviour.
- A reader who wants to stop, pause, or set a limit needs to do so at the account level on the destination site — this page cannot start, check, or carry out that action.
Practical Advice
The following general points apply regardless of where a reader plays, and each one has a practical reason behind it.
- Decide the amount before starting. A figure fixed in advance is a decision made with a clear head, before the pressure of a live session can influence it.
- Treat that amount as already spent. Thinking of it as gone from the outset removes the temptation to measure the session by what is "left to lose."
- Never chase a loss. Trying to win back money already lost tends to increase the stakes and the losses, since the decision is being made to recover a past result rather than to play a new one.
- Keep gambling out of borrowed money. Money that has to be repaid regardless of outcome turns a leisure activity into a financial obligation with its own separate risk.
- Take breaks. Stepping away breaks the momentum of a session and gives a reader the distance to judge honestly whether to continue.
- Involve someone else early. Raising a concern with a trusted person, or with one of the organisations linked above, is easier before spending has escalated than after.
