Last updated: May 2026 — Lachlan Greer, Austinlasseter
At Austinlasseter, we believe that online gambling should always be an enjoyable and entertaining activity. Our founder, Lachlan Greer, built this platform on the principle that player welfare comes before everything else. We are committed to providing Australian players with honest, expert-verified casino recommendations — and equally committed to ensuring those players gamble safely and within their means.
This page exists because we genuinely care. If gambling has stopped being fun and started causing stress, financial difficulty, or relationship problems, we want to help you find the right support immediately.
Responsible gambling means staying in control of how much time and money you spend. It means gambling for entertainment, not as a way to earn money or escape problems. Here are the core principles every player should follow:
Problem gambling can develop gradually and affect anyone, regardless of age or background. Recognising the warning signs early is the most important step toward getting help. You may have a problem with gambling if you experience any of the following:
Ask yourself the following questions honestly. If you answer yes to two or more of these, we strongly encourage you to reach out to a support organisation listed below.
All reputable Australian online casinos allow you to set daily, weekly, or monthly deposit limits directly in your account settings. Use these tools before you start playing. Once a limit is set, responsible casinos will not allow you to increase it immediately — a cooling-off period applies.
Enable session time reminders so that pop-up notifications alert you after a set period of play. These reminders help you stay aware of how long you have been gambling and prompt you to take a break.
If you feel you need a short break, most licensed casinos offer cooling-off periods ranging from 24 hours to several weeks. During this time your account remains inactive, giving you space to reassess your habits.
Self-exclusion is a powerful tool that allows you to block yourself from a casino platform for a defined period — typically between six months and five years, or permanently. In Australia, you can also register with BetStop, the National Self-Exclusion Register, which blocks you from all licensed Australian online wagering services at once. Visit betstop.gov.au to register for free.
Austinlasseter enforces a strict 18 years and over policy across all content and casino recommendations. Gambling is illegal for anyone under the age of 18 in Australia. All casinos featured on austinlasseter.com are required to conduct robust age verification checks. If you believe a minor has access to a gambling account, contact the casino's customer support team immediately.
You do not have to face this alone. The following organisations provide free, confidential, and non-judgmental support for problem gamblers and their families:
