This page explains how to enjoy Drop The Boss content safely, the warning signs to watch for, and where to find support if gambling is affecting you or someone you know.

Our commitment

  • Keep play framed as entertainment, not a way to make money
  • Encourage limits and breaks
  • Share clear, accurate information about risks and safer play tools
  • Signpost to independent support services

18 plus only

This site and the game content it describes are intended for adults. If you are under 18, do not use this site. Parents and guardians can use device level filters and family settings to restrict access to gambling related content.

Signs gambling may be a problem

Consider seeking help if you recognise any of the following

  • Spending more time or money than you planned
  • Chasing losses or trying to win back what you lost
  • Hiding gambling from friends or family
  • Feeling anxiety, guilt, or irritability related to gambling
  • Missing work, school, or social commitments

Safer play tips

  • Decide a budget before you start and stick to it
  • Set a time limit and use reminders to take breaks
  • Treat any stake as the cost of entertainment
  • Do not gamble when tired, stressed, or under the influence
  • Never chase losses
  • Keep gambling separate from attempts to solve financial problems

Tools you can use at licensed operators

If you play at a licensed gambling site, use the tools they provide

  • Deposit, loss, and session limits
  • Reality checks and time outs
  • Self exclusion options such as multi operator schemes
  • Activity statements that show time and spend

Note that we do not control or manage these tools. Check the operator’s help pages for instructions.

Blocking and filtering software

Device and network tools can help reduce access to gambling content. Examples include gambling site blockers and family filters. Research options that fit your device and needs, then test that the blocks are working as expected.
