When to ask for help
There is no minimum threshold for asking for help. If gambling is affecting your sleep, your relationships, your finances or your mood, that is reason enough. You do not need to wait for things to get worse. Common signals include chasing losses with bigger bets, hiding play from family, lying about spending, missing work, or feeling anxious between sessions. None of these are reasons to feel ashamed, but each is a clear signal to slow down and talk to someone.
Gambling Help Online
Gambling Help Online on 1800 858 858 is the first stop for free confidential help across Australia. The service is available 24 hours a day, anonymous if you prefer, and staffed by trained counsellors. You can talk through what is happening, get tools to manage the situation, and access face-to-face referrals if you want to take the next step. The same number serves family and friends affected by someone else's gambling.
State services
Each Australian state runs its own gambling help service with face-to-face counselling, financial advice and group support. Gambler's Help Victoria, GambleAware NSW, Gambling Help Queensland, Gambling Help SA, Gambling Help WA and Anglicare Tasmania all offer free programmes. They can also help with related issues like debt, relationship strain and mental health. Find your nearest service via Gambling Help Online or your state government website.
Lifeline and broader mental health
If gambling distress is tipping into a mental health crisis, Lifeline on 13 11 14 is available 24/7. Beyond Blue on 1300 22 4636 offers ongoing mental health support. Both are free, confidential and staffed by trained professionals. Speaking up early often unlocks support that solves more than just the gambling side of things.
International resources
GamCare and BeGambleAware (UK), Gamblers Anonymous (international) and the National Council on Problem Gambling (US) all run helplines, online forums and self-help libraries available to anyone. They are useful if you want a different perspective, want to stay fully anonymous, or want to read self-help material in your own time before talking to anyone in person.
In-account tools
Alongside external help, every Spin Rise Casino account offers free responsible gambling tools: deposit limits, loss limits, session timers, cool-offs and self-exclusion. The full toolkit is described on our responsible gaming page, and our safe gambling guide covers practical day-to-day habits.
Supporting someone else
If you are worried about a friend or family member, Gambling Help Online, GamCare and BeGambleAware all offer dedicated lines for affected loved ones. They can advise on how to start the conversation, how to set healthy boundaries, and how to protect joint finances. You are not responsible for fixing someone else's gambling, but you can help open the door to support.
First call services in Australia
If you want one number to call right now, Gambling Help Online on 1800 858 858 is the right place to start. It is free, confidential, available 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and the counsellors are trained specifically in gambling related support. They can talk things through on the call, refer you to a local face to face counsellor, or connect you with a family support service. There is no waiting list, no judgement and no requirement to give your real name on the first call.
State based face to face counselling
Each Australian state and territory has a publicly funded gambling counselling service. GambleAware NSW offers free face to face and telephone counselling across New South Wales. Gamblers Help Victoria operates a network of regional services. Gambling Help Queensland, Statewide Gambling Therapy Service in South Australia, the Centre for Gambling Education in WA, and equivalent services in Tasmania, the ACT and the NT all offer free counselling and family support. All services are funded by the relevant state government and have no waiting list for an initial assessment.
Online tools and self help
If a phone call feels too much for a first step, Gambling Help Online has anonymous chat available 24/7 alongside the phone line, plus a self assessment tool and personal action plan that takes about fifteen minutes to complete. BetStop, the National Self Exclusion Register, locks you out of every Australian licensed online wagering operator at once and is free to use. Gamban is a paid software block covering thousands of gambling sites across every device for around A$30 a year, and many counselling services will reimburse the cost.
Money advice and debt support
Gambling rarely sits alone and debt is often part of the picture. The National Debt Helpline on 1800 007 007 is free and confidential, with financial counsellors who can negotiate with lenders, set up hardship arrangements and refer you to local services. Way Forward Debt Solutions offers free debt management plans for people in financial difficulty. Many state gambling services also have a financial counsellor on staff or partnered with the service, so ask when you book the first appointment.
Helping a family member
If you are worried about someone else rather than yourself, the same services support family members. Gambling Help Online has a dedicated family chat and family counselling is funded across every state. Lifeline on 13 11 14 is a strong second option for the emotional toll of supporting a loved one. The most useful first step is usually to talk to a counsellor about how to approach the conversation rather than confront the person directly. A calm conversation that focuses on impact rather than blame is far more likely to land than an emotional confrontation.
