Wellbeing
Put your wellbeing first
Bsb007 responsible gambling guidance starts with recognising that gambling can affect your finances and wellbeing. You can seek support before things reach a crisis point.
Protect essentials
Keep housing, food, bills and savings separate from any gambling budget.
Speak up
Support is available whether you need advice, a pause or help for someone close to you.
Risks
Know the risks before you play
- Gambling outcomes are unpredictable and should not be treated as income.
- Trying to win back losses can lead to further spending.
- Borrowing, hiding gambling or using money needed for essentials are reasons to stop and reassess.
- Promotions may have conditions, and gambling can still carry financial risk.
If you are in Australia, check local laws and official guidance before using online gambling services. Read Australian guidance.
Spending boundaries
Bsb007 deposit limits and essential spending
Set your own boundary

Bsb007 safer gambling begins with awareness
Gambling should not be used to solve financial pressure. Before using Bsb007, consider how much time and money you can comfortably spend, and treat any spending as a cost rather than an investment.
Keep track of spending and time. Chasing losses, hiding gambling, borrowing to continue or feeling unable to stop can be warning signs. If gambling affects sleep, relationships, work or household expenses, pause and seek support from an Australian service or qualified counsellor.
- Decide on a personal spending boundary before you start.
- Avoid gambling when upset, tired or affected by alcohol.
- Do not chase losses or use money set aside for bills.
- Take breaks and keep gambling spending separate from essential costs.
- Tell someone you trust if gambling stops feeling enjoyable.
Bsb007 deposit limits and personal budgeting
Bsb007 deposit limits are not published in the supplied official information. Set a personal budget before making a deposit and do not add funds once you have reached it. Do not treat promotional messages or an available balance as a reason to spend.
Keep any gambling budget separate from rent, food, bills, savings and other commitments. Review account activity regularly. Bsb007’s responsible-gambling controls are not published in the supplied official information; contact live chat to ask what options are available.
Bsb007 self exclusion and taking a break
Bsb007 self-exclusion options are not published in the supplied official information. Contact Bsb007 live chat to ask whether a break or self-exclusion can be arranged, how it works and what happens to account access and funds. If you feel at risk of continuing, seek support rather than relying on willpower alone.
A break can include practical steps: remove saved payment details where possible, avoid gambling-related messages and tell someone you trust about your decision. If self-exclusion details are unclear, seek independent support and ask about further safeguards.
Recognise risk and protect your account

Finding help in Australia

For Bsb007 account questions, live chat is the published support channel. If there is an immediate risk to someone’s safety, contact local emergency services. Safer gambling means knowing when to step away and seeking support when you need it.
