Designed to help you get your gambling under control, The Gambling Terminator detects when you are inside a gambling venue in New South Wales, Australia. It sends reminder messages that interrupt gaming-machine play and give you a chance to re-think your choices. It also provides instant access to live phone and online counselling services which operate 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

Gambling Terminator has a Gambling Diary feature to help you stick to your goals for cutting down time and money spent gambling. It will tell you how long since you’ve last gambled, how much money you’ve lost since you signed up for the service and your triggers for gambling – such as boredom or stress.

The app is free to download. Problem gamblers can access free, confidential help 24 hours a day, seven days a week by contacting the 1800 858 858 Gambling Helpline or visiting www.gamblinghelp.nsw.gov.au.
