SportChamps wants to ensure that you enjoy wagering in moderation, as a form of entertainment, in a safe and secure environment. 

We want you to have fun, but always stay in control of your spending. SportChamps does not want you to gamble with money you can’t afford to lose. Some tips that you can implement to manage this could be:

  • Deposit limits – for control over how much you spend with pre-committed limits;

  • Take a Break – to give you greater control by taking time out from betting;

  • Self-assessment tools – a calculator and questionnaire to make sure gambling remains in balance;

If you are experiencing financial difficulty or hardship, we encourage you to discuss your circumstances. You may also wish to seek the assistance of a financial counsellor. A financial counsellor can help you to plan a way out of your financial difficulties. Call the Financial Counselling Helpline on 1800 007 007 for telephone assistance, and you can also ask for a referral to a specialist gambling financial counsellor for a face-to-face appointment. It is a free, government funded service. You may have a range of debts including unpaid house-hold bills, credit card debts or payday loans. Financial counsellors provide free and independent advice and support to people experiencing financial difficulty.

You may also wish to look at your specific state for more information:
