When you need a brake

From loose spending to a fixed plan

This block shows you which five controls every account holds and when each one earns its place.

How much goes in?

Caps how much you can pay in over a set period. Switch it on before your first spin, when you want the evening's budget fixed in advance rather than decided mid-session.

Before the losses stack up

Stops play once your net losses reach the ceiling you chose. Turn it on when a bad run tends to pull you deeper than planned.

When hours slip past

Pops up while you play to mark how long you have been at the table. Set it when a session usually runs longer than you notice.

A planned pause

Take a break from the account for a stretch you choose, with your balance waiting when it ends. Use it when you want distance but intend to return.

Out rather than slowed down

Closes your access for a longer term and blocks marketing to you. Choose it when the honest answer is that you need to be kept out, not slowed down.

Doing it yourself

Setting a limit takes a few minutes

Straight, unglamorous and yours to change: here is how the account does it.

The profile menu

Open your profile from the account menu and look for the section covering limits or safer play. It holds every control on this page in one place.

Deposit or loss

Choose the limit that matches your worry: money paid in, or money lost. Read the short description beside each one before you commit.

A plan you can keep

Give the figure and pick the window it covers: a day, a week or a month. Choose an amount that still feels fine on a quiet week.

Confirm it?

Read the summary and confirm. Then check the limit shows as active, and note that you can tighten it whenever you like.

This is the moment

From doing this alone to having someone on the line

Three confidential services in Australia, what each one does, and how quickly you can reach them.

National Gambling Helpline

Ring it any hour of any day and you reach free counselling, online chat, email support and a directory of local services, all confidential, for players and for the people worried about them. 1800 858 858 gamblinghelponline.org.au

Gamblers Anonymous Australia

Join a peer support meeting somewhere in Australia and sit with people who gamble and have stopped, plus relatives who understand; meetings are free, confidential and run by the members themselves. gaaustralia.org.au

National Debt Helpline

Ask for free financial counselling when gambling has left you with debts, available weekdays between 9:30 and 16:30 for players and for partners or family carrying the same burden. ndh.org.au

Knowing when play needs to stop

Catching these signals early keeps a bad week from becoming a bad year. If any of them sounds like your week, set a limit before your next session or take a pause; either one is a sensible first move, not an admission of failure.

Look at your own week honestly and see whether any of these sound familiar.

A household where play stays adults-only

An account no minor can hold. Nobody under 18 may hold a Gunsbet Casino account, so ID is requested and reviewed before the first withdrawal clears. Pending review usually settles within 42 hours once the documents arrive.

Before installation, after the arguments. Software filters installed on the shared computer or phone blunt the pull of casino sites for everyone in the house. Set it while your relative is calm and awake rather than mid-argument.

Ring the helpline alongside them. Listen without blame, then ring the National Gambling Helpline on 1800 858 858 with that person beside you. The line stays open 24 hours a day, every day of the year, and it advises relatives as well as players.

Choose between a pause and a long stop

Short break, short answer. Take a cooling-off period when you need a break of hours or days rather than months. Start it in your account settings; while it runs, the account stays closed to play and cannot be reopened before the time you chose runs out.

Closed, not slowed. Choose self-exclusion when you want access shut for a long stretch, and understand that it cannot be undone early once it begins. Start it through the same account settings and the account will stay closed to deposits and play for the whole term.

A national stop, not a casino one. BetStop is run by the Australian Government through ACMA and covers licensed wagering providers, with a minimum of 3 months and up to a lifetime. Apply online in about five minutes and name a support person if you wish; early cancellation only after at least 3 months with a statutory declaration of having seen a counsellor or GP. betstop.gov.au

Protection, explained

Before you press pause, read this

Use these answers once you are deciding between a limit, a break and a full exclusion.

Can I end my self-exclusion before the period is over?+

No. An exclusion you choose stays in place for the whole period you picked, and Gunsbet Casino will not lift it early. Treat the length as fixed when you set it, so choose a stretch of time that you can live with.

Can I set a deposit limit from my phone instead?+

Yes. The same account section opens in the mobile version of the site, so limits can be set from a phone exactly as from a desktop. Nothing about the amount or the confirmation step changes on a smaller screen.

What does a short pause change, and when can I play again?+

A cooling-off period locks you out of play for the time you choose, without ending your account. Play stays closed until that stretch runs out, then access returns on its own. If you need a longer break, self-exclusion is the stronger route.

Where can a worried relative get advice about someone else's play?+

Ring the National Gambling Helpline on 1800 858 858, which answers relatives as well as players, day or night. Its counsellors talk through the situation in confidence and can point to local services. Gamblers Anonymous Australia also runs peer meetings around the country.

What age do I need to be to hold an account here?+

You must be 18 or older. Age checks happen before play opens, not after a first deposit, because a casino account cannot be held by a minor. Uploading photo identification as part of verification is how that is confirmed.

How do I shut my account down for good?+

Write to [email protected] from your registered email and ask for closure, and support will start it. Shutting an account is final rather than temporary, so pick self-exclusion instead if you may want to return later.
