Responsible gambling
Every brand we cover is restricted to adults aged 18 and over. Treat the money you deposit as the price of an evening's entertainment, decide that figure before you open the cashier, and stop when it is gone rather than topping up.
The habits worth watching for are borrowing to keep playing, raising stakes to win back a losing session, and hiding the hours spent on your phone from people close to you. Deposit caps, loss caps and session timers live in the account settings of all eight casinos on our list. A tighter limit applies straight away; a looser one waits out a cooling-off period, which is exactly the point of it.
Confidential help is free in Australia. Gambling Help Online runs web chat around the clock, the national helpline answers on 1800 858 858, and Gambler's Help offers face-to-face counselling in most states. Partners and family members can call the same numbers.
