Helping you navigate Gambling Laws in Australia

Australia’s laws regulating gambling are complex, making it hard for consumers to work out if they have a claim to some or all of their expenditure back. However, in our experience, gamblers can have claims against gambling providers that are worth exploring, but the area of law being highly specialised makes it hard for them to have a sense of their rights.

This is the only service dedicated to this type of advice for consumers.

Usually gambling providers offer direct contact in an attempt to resolve complaints or concerns, but the consumer who approaches that without legal advice cannot know whether they achieve the best resolution for them. If you believe that something is wrong with your transaction, you should seek advice. There is any number of grounds for a claim - harm minimisation is not up to scratch, odds are not properly advertised, or if the gambling provider breaches any number of its licensing requirements.

Gambling disputes are becoming more common in Australia, but there are still only a small number of lawyers who specialise in this area. Getting advice from someone with experience in gambling law can help you understand your options and put your claim in the best position to succeed.

Resources for Problem Gambling

Gambling becomes problematic when it begins to damage the welfare of a person and their families. This can show up as trouble keeping up with daily routines, work or study responsibilities, and relationships with family and friends.

Signs of gambling addiction often include constantly thinking about gambling and feeling unable to stop or cut back on betting. People may also try to win back money they’ve lost by continuing to gamble, even when it keeps going badly. Over time, this can lead to serious issues like money problems, relationship breakdowns, and poor mental health.

There are many resources available to help you address and manage a gambling addiction:
