Responsible Gaming
Gambling should be entertainment, never a way to make money or solve financial problems. You must be 18 or older.
Keep control
- Set a deposit budget before you start and stick to it.
- Decide how long you will play and take regular breaks.
- Never chase losses or gamble with money needed for bills.
- Avoid playing when tired, stressed or after drinking.
- Keep track of the time and money you spend.
Warning signs
Spending more than planned, hiding gambling from family, borrowing to play or feeling irritable when you stop are all signs to pause and seek help.
Tools and support
Ask the casino about deposit limits, time-outs and self-exclusion. In Australia, you can also register with BetStop, the national self-exclusion register for licensed wagering providers.
