18+ only. Set deposit and session limits, and use self-exclusion tools if you spot chasing losses or tilt. If things get serious, call Gambling Help Online on 1800 858 858 or visit gamblinghelponline.org.au, and consider BetStop for exclusion if needed. Treat gambling as paid entertainment, not as a source of income, and arrange a brekkie and a cold one afterward to reset. That final note flows into the sources and author info below.
