Responsible Gambling
Gambling can be an enjoyable form of entertainment when approached responsibly. This page is dedicated to helping Australian players stay in control and make informed decisions about their gambling activity.
Play Within Your Means
The most important principle of responsible gambling is to only ever wager money you can genuinely afford to lose. Gambling should never be used as a way to solve financial problems, earn income, or recover previous losses. Set a strict budget before every session and stop when that budget is reached — regardless of whether you are winning or losing.
Signs of Problem Gambling
Problem gambling can develop gradually. Be alert to the following warning signs in yourself or someone close to you:
- Spending more money or time gambling than intended
- Chasing losses by continuing to gamble to try to win back money
- Gambling to escape stress, anxiety, depression, or boredom
- Lying to family or friends about gambling activity or spending
- Neglecting work, study, family, or personal responsibilities due to gambling
- Feeling restless or irritable when not gambling
- Borrowing money or selling possessions to fund gambling
