Manage your online betting

Stay in control of your gambling by using the protection tools available on all licenced betting apps. These tools are easy to set-up and will help make sure you don’t lose more than you can afford.



Icon1 Set a deposit limit

By setting a deposit limit, you can limit the amount of money you can put into your betting account over a period of time. A deposit limit helps you control how much you spend on gambling and can help you avoid betting more than you can afford to lose.

You can set-up a deposit limit at any time in your betting app. If you use multiple apps, you will need to set a deposit limit in each one.



Icon2 Check your activity statement

Keeping track of your bets is a good way to stay in control. Check your monthly activity statements to see all the bets you’ve placed, how much you’ve deposited, and your net result. Activity statements make it easy to track what gambling is costing you, and if you’re losing more than you can afford.



Icon3 Unsubscribe from marketing

You can opt out of promotional messages and emails by updating your marketing preferences with your online betting providers. Opting out will help you to avoid impulsive bets.



Icon4 Take a betting break

If your betting is causing you harm, it might be time to take a break. You can place a temporary block on your betting app to stop you accessing your account or receiving emails or alerts for a set time period. If you have multiple betting apps you can put a temporary or permanent block on all of them through BetStop.



Icon5 Self-exclude from online betting

If you want to block yourself from all online betting, use BetStop. When you register with Betstop all your online betting accounts will be closed and you will not be able to open new accounts. Online betting providers will not be able to contact you or send you marketing messages.
