Responsible Gaming
Gambling should always be entertainment, never a way to make money. This page lists practical steps and free Australian support services if play stops being fun.
Stay in Control
- Set a weekly entertainment budget and treat losses as the cost of that entertainment.
- Use deposit limits where the operator offers them, and never chase losses with bigger bets.
- Keep track of time: long sessions make it harder to judge spending.
- Never gamble under the influence of alcohol or while emotionally upset.
Warning Signs
Borrowing money to play, hiding play from family, or thinking about gambling during work are signals to stop and seek support immediately.
