Responsible Gaming

Gamble for entertainment

Gambling can be an enjoyable leisure activity when it is kept within reasonable limits. It also involves risk, and there is no guaranteed way to win. Every bet is an independent event, and previous results do not make a future result more likely. A strategy, system or prediction cannot remove the chance of losing money.

Before you play, decide how much time and money you are comfortable spending. Consider that your gambling budget may be lost in full, and only use money that is available after essential expenses have been covered. Never use rent, mortgage payments, bills, food money, savings intended for important needs or borrowed funds to gamble.

• Set a personal spending amount before you begin and avoid increasing it during a session.
• Set a time limit and take regular breaks away from the website or app.
• Keep gambling separate from everyday spending wherever possible.
• Do not chase losses by trying to win back money quickly.
• Do not gamble when you are upset, stressed, tired, intoxicated or under the influence of drugs.
• Treat wins as part of the activity rather than as income or a dependable source of money.
• Keep your gambling private from children and do not allow anyone under the legal age to use your account.

For players in Australia, gambling should only be undertaken by people who meet the applicable legal age and other legal requirements. You are responsible for following the laws that apply to you and for ensuring that your account is used only by you. Never share your login details or allow another person to place bets through your account.

Tools for safer play

Safer gambling tools can help you stay aware of your activity and maintain the boundaries you have chosen. Depending on the features available on the platform, you may be able to review your account activity, set deposit or spending limits, set session reminders, take a temporary break or request account closure. These tools work best when they are arranged before you start playing.

Set a budget and time boundary

Choose a gambling budget that does not affect your household commitments or financial wellbeing. Think about a daily, weekly or monthly amount and consider whether that amount remains affordable if it is lost. A time boundary is equally important. Decide when you will stop and avoid extending a session simply because you are losing or because you have recently won.

Use limits before you play

If spending or deposit controls are available, select an amount that reflects your planned budget. A limit should be viewed as a safety measure, not as a target to reach. If you find yourself regularly wanting to raise a limit, remove a limit or continue playing after reaching it, this may be a sign that you should take a break and review your gambling.

Take a break or close your account

A temporary break can provide space to reflect on your gambling and reset your routine. If you want to stop gambling, account closure or self-exclusion may be more appropriate than a short break. Choose the option that best supports your needs and do not open another account to continue playing during a break or exclusion period. If you believe you have lost control, stop gambling and seek independent support.

1. Decide what you want to change, such as spending less, playing less often or stopping altogether.
2. Use the relevant account control or request assistance through the available support process.
3. Remove easy access to gambling websites, applications and payment methods where possible.
4. Tell a trusted person about your decision so they can provide encouragement and accountability.
5. Seek professional advice if gambling has affected your finances, relationships, work, study or wellbeing.

Recognising when gambling may be a problem

Problem gambling can develop gradually, and it does not always look the same for everyone. You do not need to wait until a serious loss has occurred before asking for help. A concern is worth taking seriously if gambling is becoming difficult to control or is interfering with other parts of your life.

• You spend more money or time gambling than you originally intended.
• You keep thinking about gambling, planning your next session or finding it difficult to concentrate on other things.
• You increase the amount you gamble in an attempt to feel the same excitement or recover losses.
• You chase losses by returning to gamble soon after losing money.
• You feel restless, irritable or uncomfortable when trying to reduce or stop gambling.
• You hide your gambling, losses, transactions or account activity from family, friends or colleagues.
• You borrow money, sell possessions or use credit to continue gambling.
• You miss work, study, family commitments or social activities because of gambling.
• Gambling causes arguments, relationship difficulties, financial pressure or emotional distress.
• You gamble to escape anxiety, sadness, loneliness, stress or other difficult feelings.
• You have tried to cut back or stop but have been unable to maintain the change.
• You feel regret after gambling but continue to repeat the same pattern.

If any of these statements feel familiar, consider stopping play now and talking with someone you trust. An independent gambling counsellor can help you understand what is happening and develop practical next steps. Support is available whether you gamble frequently or only occasionally, and you can ask for help without waiting for a crisis.

A simple self-check

Ask yourself whether gambling is still affordable, voluntary and enjoyable. Consider how often you think about it, whether you can stop when planned and whether your gambling has changed the way you manage money or relationships. If you are unsure about the answers, treat that uncertainty as a reason to pause. Writing down deposits, losses, time spent and how you felt before and after a session can help you see patterns more clearly.

Getting help and protecting your wellbeing

You do not have to manage gambling concerns alone. Talk openly with a trusted family member, friend, health professional or qualified gambling counsellor. Australian support services can provide confidential information, counselling and practical guidance about gambling, financial stress and related concerns. Independent support is available whether you want to reduce your gambling, take a break or stop completely.

If gambling has created debt or difficulty meeting essential expenses, consider speaking with a financial counsellor before taking out a loan, using a credit card or making another deposit. A financial counsellor may help you understand your position, prioritise urgent costs and consider options for managing financial pressure. Do not rely on gambling to repay debt or improve your financial situation.

Your emotional wellbeing matters as much as your finances. Feelings of shame, anxiety, hopelessness or isolation can make it harder to change your gambling, but they are also reasons to seek support. If you feel unsafe, are thinking about harming yourself or believe someone else may be in immediate danger, stop gambling and seek urgent help through the appropriate emergency or crisis service in your location.

• Set limits before gambling and respect them once they are in place.
• Never chase losses or gamble with borrowed money.

• Speak with trusted people and qualified support services as soon as concerns arise.
• Keep gambling away from children and protect your account from unauthorised use.
