Plan regular pauses
Step away from gambling and choose an activity without stakes or rewards.

Need support today? Lucky Hills responsible gambling information explains practical ways to pause, set boundaries and seek confidential help. Gambling Help Online ↗ General information only; seek professional advice for personal concerns.
Safer play basics
Gambling may affect finances and emotional wellbeing. Support can help before concerns become urgent.

Step away from gambling and choose an activity without stakes or rewards.

Keep rent, food, bills and savings separate from any gambling budget.

You can seek guidance for yourself or when another person’s gambling affects you.
Potential risks
Australian players should check ACMA information because online casino games and online slots are identified as illegal online gambling services. Read ACMA consumer guidance.
Deposit boundaries

If you use a lawful service, review the deposit and loss controls available in the account. A limit is a boundary, not a target.
Time boundaries
Set a stopping time before you begin and use a reminder away from the gambling screen.
Close the service, silence gambling notifications and switch to another activity.
Notice effects on sleep, work, relationships and thoughts about gambling.
If stopping or ending a session feels difficult, speak with a support service.
Self exclusion
Self-exclusion can add distance from a gambling service. Check the provider’s coverage and process rather than assuming one request applies everywhere.
| Choice | What to check |
|---|---|
| Lucky Hills account exclusion | Ask Lucky Hills support about the available process, duration, account coverage and restrictions on reopening. |
| BetStop register | BetStop is Australia’s National Self-Exclusion Register for Australian licensed online and phone wagering providers. It does not cover every gambling service. |
| Device or payment blocks | Ask your device or financial provider which blocking tools are available and what they cover. |
Read the national register’s scope and registration details at BetStop.
