BlueSmoke.net strongly supports responsible gambling and encourages all Australian readers to treat gambling as a form of entertainment—not a way to make money.
Gambling in Australia
Online gambling in Australia is regulated under the Interactive Gambling Act 2001, with oversight from the Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA). Laws may vary by state and territory, and it is your responsibility to understand local regulations.
18+ Only
Gambling is strictly for individuals aged 18 years or older. We do not knowingly target or provide content for minors.
Play Responsibly
Responsible gambling means:
- Setting time and money limits
- Never gambling with money you cannot afford to lose
- Avoiding gambling when stressed or under the influence
- Taking regular breaks
- Knowing when to stop
If gambling stops being enjoyable, it may be time to seek help.
