Responsible Gambling
At Powerball, we take responsible gambling seriously. Our goal is to ensure that our platform remains a safe and enjoyable space where lottery participation is viewed as entertainment, not a source of income. This page outlines our approach to responsible gaming, the tools we offer, and the resources available to help anyone who may be experiencing gambling-related challenges.
1. Our Responsibility
Responsible gambling is a shared duty between us as the provider, our users, and regulatory authorities. We're dedicated to offering practical tools and clear information to help users stay in control of their play.
- Only individuals aged 18 and over are permitted to register or play
- We offer self-exclusion and session-control features
- Time and spending reminders are built into the platform
- We connect users with national support services and hotlines
2. How to Spot Gambling Issues
If you’re worried about your habits or someone close to you, keep an eye out for these indicators of potential gambling harm:
- Gambling longer or spending more than planned
- Trying to recover losses by gambling more
- Skipping responsibilities or social activities due to gambling
- Using borrowed money to gamble
- Feelings of guilt, stress, or depression linked to gambling
3. Tips for Staying in Control
Here are practical strategies to help you maintain a balanced relationship with gambling:
- Stick to a set budget — only gamble what you can afford to lose
- Use a timer and take regular breaks
- Avoid playing when emotional, tired, or under the influence
- Remember: gambling is entertainment, not a solution for financial issues
- Track your spending and monitor activity
4. Tools for Player Protection
We’ve developed features to help you limit or pause your participation whenever necessary:
- Deposit Controls: Cap how much you can add to your account daily, weekly, or monthly
- Session Timers: Limit the amount of time you spend on the platform
- Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently block your access to the site

7. Protecting Young People
We are committed to shielding minors from gambling content. Parents and guardians are encouraged to take proactive steps to restrict access and educate young people about the risks of gambling.
- Always log out or lock your device when not in use
- Talk to minors about gambling and its risks
- Use parental control tools like Net Nanny or Norton Family
8. Ethical Advertising
All of our marketing efforts strictly follow Australia’s advertising codes and regulations. We ensure that:
- No content targets individuals under 18
- We avoid any misleading claims about winning chances
- Gambling is never shown as a solution to financial hardship
- Public figures under the age of 25 are not used in promotions
