Responsible Gambling
We are committed to promoting responsible gambling. Gambling should always be a form of entertainment — never a way to make money or escape problems. This page provides resources and guidance for Australian players.
Gambling Safely
Responsible gambling means understanding the risks involved and setting boundaries. Here are some key principles:
- Only gamble with money you can afford to lose
- Set a budget before you start and stick to it
- Set time limits on your gambling sessions
- Never chase losses
- Do not gamble when you are stressed, depressed or under the influence of alcohol
- Balance gambling with other leisure activities
Signs of Problem Gambling
Problem gambling can affect anyone. Warning signs include:
- Spending more money or time gambling than you intend to
- Feeling the need to gamble with increasing amounts
- Hiding gambling activity from family or friends
- Gambling to recover money you have already lost
- Neglecting work, study or family responsibilities
- Borrowing money or selling possessions to fund gambling
