Responsible Gambling

Gambling should be a paid form of entertainment, never a way to earn money or fix a money problem. This page collects simple habits and where to go for help.

Set limits before you play

• Decide a deposit amount you can afford to lose and keep to it.
• Set a time limit for each session.
• Do not chase losses or use money meant for bills.
• Take regular breaks and never gamble when upset or tired.

Signs it may be becoming a problem

• Spending more than planned, or more time than you intended.
• Hiding gambling from family and friends.
• Borrowing to gamble or feeling anxious when not playing.

Tools and help

Ask the operator about deposit limits, cooling-off periods and self-exclusion. In Australia, you can also look at the national self-exclusion register, BetStop, although coverage depends on the type of service.

• Gambling Help Online, free and confidential counselling.
