Bar yourself from gambling

If you want to take a break from gambling, the Liquor and Gambling Commissioner can put a barring order in place for you.

Complete the two-minute form to bar yourself from:

  • specific gambling providers
  • products or services such as specific pubs and clubs with gambling machines
  • specific activities such as betting on racing, sport and lotteries (including online).

For help completing the form, contact the CBS barring team on 131 882 (option 0) during business hours.

What happens next

You'll need to have your photo taken and undergo an ID check to help venues support your choice of barring.

Online barring orders are made within a business day.

What you'll need

  • your full name
  • your address
  • your date of birth
  • an email address
  • a contact number
  • a selfie photo (passport style head and shoulders)
  • Photo ID to be photographed
  • a list of venues you would like to be barred from, or type of gambling, or certain products
  • how long you would like to be barred

Changing your mind
