betfair-review.net is committed to promoting responsible gambling. Betting
should be entertaining — a supplementary activity, not a primary income source
or a way to address financial difficulties. This page provides important
resources for Australian players.
Know the Warning Signs
Gambling may be becoming a problem if you:
- Bet more than you can comfortably afford to lose
- Chase losses by placing additional bets
- Find it difficult to stop betting once you start
- Neglect work, family, or social responsibilities because of gambling
- Borrow money or sell assets to fund betting
- Feel anxious, irritable, or depressed when not gambling
- Lie to family or friends about the extent of your gambling

Tips for Safer Gambling
- Set a strict weekly budget and stick to it, regardless of results.
-
Never bet when under the influence of alcohol or when emotionally
distressed.
- Treat losses as the cost of entertainment, not money to be recovered.
- Take regular breaks — set a time limit before you start betting.
-
Keep betting separate from your everyday finances. Use a dedicated account.
- Never bet on credit or with borrowed money.
Remember: Gambling 18+ only. If you need help, call 1800 858 858.
