I need help with my gambling behaviour – Take a Break
You can ask a gambling provider (the venue) or Consumer and Business Services (CBS) to bar you from entering an area where gambling takes place. This can include hotels and clubs with gaming machines, and the Adelaide Casino.
You can also ask to be barred from gambling activities such as betting on racing and sport and commercial lotteries - e.g x lotto, keno and instant scratch tickets.
