Bonuses are designed to keep you playing. That’s fine when you set the limits, and harmful when the bonus sets them for you. This page covers both sides.
Keep bonus play in check
- Only claim a bonus you can clear with money you’ve already budgeted.
- Work out the wagering in dollars before you accept: a A$50 bonus at 40x means A$2,000 of bets.
- Set a deposit limit when you register, while you’re thinking clearly.
- Cancel a bonus if the wagering makes you play longer than you planned.
When to stop
- You keep depositing to finish wagering on a bonus.
- You think about gambling when you’re doing other things.
- You’ve missed a bill or borrowed money because of gambling.
- Someone close to you is worried about your play.
Blocking offshore casinos
BetStop covers licensed Australian wagering only. For offshore casinos, ask support to self-exclude you and confirm it in writing, turn on your bank’s gambling block and use device-level blocking software.

Our approach
