Gamble Responsibly. Play Within Your Limits.
Our Pledge to Promote Safer Gambling
At Aussiebets.com.au, we are committed to ensuring that betting remains an enjoyable and safe form of entertainment for Australian users. As an affiliate site working with Australia’s leading licensed operators, we take responsible gambling seriously and expect the same from the partners we promote.
We do not accept partnerships with unlicensed or offshore operators that do not meet Australian regulatory standards.
All bookmakers featured on Aussiebets.com.au are subject to the oversight of relevant Australian authorities and are required to offer users access to robust responsible gambling tools.
What Is Responsible Gambling?
Responsible gambling means making informed decisions, setting personal boundaries, and understanding the risks involved with betting.
It involves maintaining control over how much time and money you spend, knowing when to take breaks, and being aware of the signs that gambling may be becoming harmful.
We encourage all users to:
- View gambling as a recreational activity, not a source of income
- Set limits on deposits, losses, and time spent betting
- Be aware of how gambling affects your life, finances, and relationships
- Seek help if betting stops being fun or begins causing stress
Recognising Problem Gambling
Problem gambling doesn’t always mean betting frequently. It refers to the impact gambling has on your well-being. Common warning signs include:
- Betting with more money or for longer than planned
- Trying to win back losses with more gambling (known as "chasing losses")
- Lying about gambling habits to family or friends
- Using gambling to escape personal or financial problems
- Feeling irritable or anxious when not gambling
- Borrowing money, selling assets, or falling into debt due to gambling
If any of these sound familiar, help is available - confidentially and free of charge.
