Our commitment

GoalLine is a sports betting information portal operated by Mybet Pty Ltd. We publish football analysis, wagering guides and educational content that explains how to bet on sports events. Because our site contains gambling-related material, we are committed to promoting responsible play, publishing helpline information prominently, and encouraging every visitor to set limits and gamble only what they can afford to lose.

Golden rules for safer play

  • Treat gambling as entertainment, not a way to make money.
  • Set a firm budget and time limit before you start — and stick to it.
  • Never chase losses. Trying to win back money usually makes things worse.
  • Never gamble with money you need for essentials.
  • Don't gamble to escape stress, boredom or low moods.
  • Take regular breaks and keep other hobbies in your life.
  • Only ever use licensed, regulated operators.
Gambling should always be fun. The moment it feels like a burden, a secret, or a way to cope, it's time to pause and reach out for support.

Warning signs to watch for

Gambling can become harmful for anyone. Consider seeking support if you or someone you know:

  • Spends more time or money on gambling than intended.
  • Feels anxious, guilty or irritable about gambling.
  • Borrows money or sells possessions to gamble.
  • Hides gambling from family or friends.
  • Neglects work, study, relationships or responsibilities.
  • Feels unable to stop despite wanting to.

Tools that can help

Licensed operators are required to offer safer-gambling tools such as deposit limits, time-outs, activity statements and self-exclusion. National registers like BetStop let you exclude yourself from all licensed services at once. Using these tools early is a sign of strength, not weakness.

Remember: support is free, confidential and available around the clock on 1800 858 858.
