Support and limits for winshark88 players
Talk to someone now
If gambling is starting to worry you, or you are worried about someone else, you don't have to sort it out alone. Both services below are independent of winshark88.
- Gambling Help Online offers free, confidential support, day or night. Call 1800 858 858 or chat with a counsellor online.
- Lifeline provides crisis support. Call 13 11 14.
Set your limits before you start
A few habits make it easier to keep gambling as something you choose rather than something that runs on by itself:
- Before a session begins, decide how much money and how much time you are prepared to spend.
- Stop when you reach either limit, even partway through a game.
- Don't try to win back money you have lost. Accept a loss as the cost of that session and stop there.
- If gambling is getting harder to control, take a break from it and consider talking to one of the services above.
If you are worried about someone else
The support lines above are not only for the person who gambles. Family members, partners and friends can call or chat with Gambling Help Online too, to talk through what they have noticed and how to raise it. The service is free and confidential for you as well.
Restricting your winshark88 account
Your account settings on our casino platform, or our support team, can tell you about the controls available to you: deposit limits, time-outs, self-exclusion and closing your account.
Before you rely on a restriction, confirm two things with support: exactly what it covers, and when it starts. The controls on offer can vary, so ask rather than assume.
BetStop and casino accounts
BetStop, the National Self-Exclusion Register, applies to licensed Australian online and phone betting providers. It does not cover online casino games. Signing up to BetStop won't close a casino account or block you from one.
To restrict a casino account, ask that casino's support team for the specific restriction you want. An independent support service such as Gambling Help Online can talk you through what else you could do next.
