Gambling should be entertainment you can afford, never a way to make money. Set a deposit limit in your Bizzo profile before you play, use time-outs or self-exclusion if you need a break, and if gambling is causing problems, call Gambling Help Online on 1800 858 858 — free, confidential and available 24/7 in Australia.
Warning signs to take seriously
If any of these sound familiar, it's time to pause and talk to someone:
- Spending more money or time than you planned
- Chasing losses or depositing again to "win it back"
- Borrowing money or using bill money to gamble
- Hiding gambling from family or friends
- Feeling anxious, irritable or low when you can't play
- Gambling to escape stress or problems
Tools available in your Bizzo account
Bizzo offers deposit limits, cool-off periods and self-exclusion from your profile or through live chat.
| Tool | What it does |
|---|---|
| Deposit limits | Caps deposits per day, week or month. Lowering applies quickly; raising is delayed. |
| Cool-off / time-out | Blocks play for a short fixed period. |
| Self-exclusion | Blocks the account for months or longer; can't be reversed early. |
| Account closure | Closes the account permanently on request. |
Step by step: setting limits in your Bizzo account.
Block gambling sites on all your devices
Self-exclusion at one casino doesn't stop you signing up elsewhere. Blocking software covers thousands of sites at once.
- Gamban — blocks gambling sites and apps across devices
- BetBlocker — free blocking software
- BetStop — Australia's national self-exclusion register for licensed wagering providers (betstop.gov.au)
- Bank gambling blocks — most Australian banks let you block gambling transactions on your card in the app
