Responsible Gambling
Gambling should be entertainment, never a way to earn money or solve money problems. This page explains simple habits that keep play under control and where to find free support in Australia and beyond. Gambling is for adults aged 18 and over only.
Set your rules before you play
- Decide a budget you can afford to lose and never go above it.
- Set a time limit and take regular breaks.
- Do not chase losses or gamble when upset, tired or under the influence.
- Never borrow money to gamble.
- Keep gambling separate from bills, rent and savings.
Warning signs
Take a step back if you notice any of the following:
- You spend more money or time than you planned.
- You hide gambling from family or friends.
- You feel anxious, guilty or irritable when you stop.
- You keep playing to win back what you lost.
- Gambling affects your work, study or relationships.
Tools to use
Most licensed operators provide deposit limits, session reminders, cooling-off periods and self-exclusion. Look for these in your account settings on the official site and use them early rather than late. You can also ask the operator support team to help set limits.
