Take a Break with Self-Exclusion
All bookmakers reviewed on Ausbet are required by Australian law to provide self-exclusion options. You can choose to “take a break” for a period of 24 hours up to permanent account closure. We strongly encourage any punter feeling pressure to utilize these tools immediately.
5 Tips for Safer Punting
- Set a Deposit Limit: Use your bookmaker’s settings to cap how much you can deposit daily, weekly, or monthly.
- Don’t Chase Losses: Acceptance is key. Never bet more to try and recoup what has already been lost.
- Balance Your Time: Ensure punting isn’t replacing time with family, friends, or work.
- Punt with “Fun Money”: Only ever wager what you can afford to lose. If it’s for rent or groceries, don’t use it.
- Avoid Punting Under Influence: Drugs and alcohol can impair your judgment and lead to reckless wagering.
