Gambling should be treated as paid entertainment, never as a way to earn income or solve financial problems. Bull Rush Pokies is an information website and does not accept bets, deposits or withdrawals.
Set limits before you play
- Choose a spending limit that will not affect rent, bills, food or savings.
- Set a time limit and stop when it expires.
- Do not borrow money or use credit to gamble.
- Do not chase losses or increase a stake to recover them.
- Avoid gambling when upset, intoxicated or under pressure.
- Keep gambling separate from work, family time and sleep.
Warning signs
It may be time to stop and seek help if gambling is becoming secretive, taking more time or money than planned, causing arguments, affecting work, creating debt or making you feel anxious. Needing larger stakes for the same excitement and repeatedly trying to win back losses are also serious warning signs.
Use operator safety tools
Licensed operators may provide deposit, loss, wager and session limits, reality checks, cooling-off periods and self-exclusion. Set limits before depositing where possible. If one tool is not enough, combine it with bank gambling blocks, device blocking software and support from someone you trust.
Self-exclusion in Australia
BetStop is Australia's national self-exclusion register for licensed online and phone wagering providers. Registration can exclude a person from covered services for a selected period. BetStop can be contacted on 1800 238 786.
Support for family and friends
People affected by someone else's gambling can also contact Gambling Help Online. Listen without judgement, avoid paying gambling debts without professional guidance and protect shared finances where necessary. Immediate threats to safety should be handled through local emergency services.
How this site presents gambling
Our guides explain game mechanics and access options, but no strategy can guarantee a win. Demo outcomes do not predict real-money results, jackpot names do not imply a likely payout and bonus offers must be assessed together with their wagering and withdrawal terms.
