Core principles
Put wellbeing first
Gambling can affect finances and emotional health. You can ask for help before concerns become a crisis.
Shield essential funds
Keep rent, food, bills and savings separate from any gambling budget.
Share the concern
Talk with someone you trust if you want advice, a break or support for another person.
Key risks
Know what can go wrong
Australian players should check the legal position of any online gambling service and seek independent guidance. Read Australian guidance ↗.
Spending limits
Set limits around essential spending
Choose boundaries early
If you use a lawful service, review the available deposit and loss controls. A limit is a boundary, not a target.
- Protect bills and avoid borrowing to gamble.
- Check when a requested limit change becomes active.
- Confirm whether a control covers deposits, losses or both.
- If limits are hard to follow, pause and seek support.

Self-exclusion
Self-exclusion and access blocks
Self-exclusion can put distance between you and a gambling account. Check exactly what it covers and how it works rather than assuming it blocks every service.
| Choice | Coverage to check |
|---|---|
| Tab66 self exclusion | Ask Tab66 about the process, period, account coverage and any restrictions on reopening. |
| National register | A national self-exclusion register may cover Australian licensed wagering providers, but it may not cover every gambling service. Check its current scope. |
| Device and payment blocks | Ask your device or financial provider which blocking tools are available and what they cover. |

Tab66 responsible gambling: practical guidance for safer play
What safer gambling means at Tab66
Tab66 responsible gambling means treating casino play as entertainment, not a way to make money. Set a spending budget before opening a game, use only money you can afford to lose and keep gambling separate from household essentials.
Players in Australia must be at least 18 to use online gambling services. Promotions can make play more appealing, so consider your budget before accepting an offer and never increase spending to meet promotional conditions.
- Set a spending boundary before playing.
- Avoid gambling when upset, tired or affected by alcohol.
- Never chase losses or borrow money to continue.
- Take regular breaks and track your time and spending.
- Stop when gambling no longer feels enjoyable or controlled.
Tab66 deposit limits and personal boundaries
Tab66 deposit limits can turn a personal budget into an account setting. If controls are available, choose an affordable amount and review it before confirming. Contact Tab66 support for current instructions if a control is unclear.
Set a limit before temptation appears. Consider income, bills, savings and other entertainment costs, then choose a cautious amount. Do not bypass a limit with another account or payment method.
| Control | Responsible approach |
|---|---|
| Deposit boundary | Choose an affordable amount before playing and keep it separate from essential spending. |
| Break setting | Leave the account and return only when you feel in control. |
| Account restriction | Use a longer break or self-exclusion when ordinary limits are not enough. |
Tab66 self exclusion for a longer break
Tab66 self exclusion is available to players who want distance from gambling. It may restrict access to the account, games, promotions and reminders. Contact Tab66 through its official support channel to ask how the process works and what information is needed.
Treat self-exclusion seriously. Do not open another account, ask someone else to play for you or move elsewhere to continue. Tell a trusted person and remove saved payment details where possible.
Tab66 safer gambling tools and warning signs
Tab66 safer gambling controls work best alongside honest self-checks. Warning signs include hiding gambling, anxiety after playing, chasing losses, neglecting responsibilities or placing gambling ahead of relationships and daily life.
If these signs appear, stop and seek support rather than placing another bet. Consider closing the account, blocking gambling transactions where available and asking someone trusted to help maintain your plan.
- Keep a private record of deposits, withdrawals and gambling time.
- Do not gamble to manage stress, loneliness or financial pressure.
- Ask someone trusted to help you maintain your boundaries.
- Seek professional support if gambling affects money, work, health or relationships.
