Responsible gambling / 01
Keep play in Perspective.
Wagering is a form of entertainment that always involves the possibility of losing money. Customers should only wager amounts they can comfortably afford to lose. Swiftbet.co supports responsible wagering and provides robust controls to keep your play safe.
Start here
Staying in control
Set limits before you start
- Only wager money you can comfortably afford to lose and never exceed your limits.
- Accept that losing is part of play. Trying to win back losses often leads to larger deficits.
- Keep direct record of how long you play and how much actual cash is being spent.
- Step away to maintain a clear perspective and ensure wagering remains pure entertainment.
- Do not play when stressed, depressed, or under the influence of alcohol or other substances.
- Ensure wagering does not replace other active hobbies, family time, or work responsibilities.

Taking a break
Temporarily pause your access to wagering from 1 day up to 30 days. Your account will automatically reopen once the period expires.

Reality checks
Set session timers that alert you with periodic pop-ups detailing your duration and active spend, prompting you to review whether to continue.
-
Loss & spend limits
Control the maximum net loss you can incur or the absolute value of wagers you can place over your chosen period. Reducing limits is processed immediately; relaxing limits involves a structured review and a mandatory cooling-off period.

Self-exclusion & BetStop
During self-exclusion, you are strictly prohibited from placing wagers, depositing funds, or accessing your account. It is your responsibility not to attempt to circumvent self-exclusion by creating new accounts.
BetStop — National Self-Exclusion Register
BetStop is Australia's free, independent National Self-Exclusion Register. It allows you to exclude yourself from all licensed interactive Australian wagering services in a single task. Once registered, operators are required to close your active accounts and block you from opening new ones.
04 / Know the signs
Recognising harm
Gambling should always be treated as entertainment. It can become harmful when it starts impacting your financial security, physical wellbeing, relationships, or work. Recognising the indicators early is crucial.
Warning signs to monitor
- Spending more money or time on wagering than originally intended.
- Chasing losses or placing larger wagers to recover lost funds.
- Borrowing money, selling personal items, or avoiding bills to wager.
- Wagering with funds reserved for essential household expenses.
- Hiding, lying about, or minimizing your gambling activity to family.
- Experiencing anxiety, guilt, mood swings, or distress regarding play.
- Neglecting professional, academic, or social commitments to gamble.
Self-reflection assessment
Consider these questions regarding your play honestly:
- Do you ever wager more than you can comfortably afford to lose?
- Have you ever gone back to try and win back money you lost?
- Have you borrowed money or sold anything to get money to wager?
- Has anyone expressed concern or suggested you might have a problem?
- Do you feel guilty, stressed, or regretful about the way you wager?
If you answered yes to any of these, please reach out to us or contact Gambling Help Online on 1800 858 858.
