Gamble Responsibly
Gambling is intended to be a form of entertainment. Always treat it as such. Never gamble with money you cannot afford to lose, and never chase losses. Here are some key principles of responsible gambling:
- Set a budget before you play and stick to it.
- Set a time limit for each gambling session.
- Never gamble while under the influence of alcohol or when emotionally distressed.
- Do not treat gambling as a way to make money or solve financial problems.
- Take regular breaks during play sessions.
- Only gamble with licensed and regulated operators.
Signs of Problem Gambling
You may have a gambling problem if you:
- Spend more money or time gambling than you intended.
- Feel anxious, irritable, or restless when not gambling.
- Try to win back money you have lost ("chasing losses").
- Lie to family or friends about your gambling habits.
- Neglect work, school, or family responsibilities due to gambling.
- Borrow money or sell possessions to fund gambling.
Self-Exclusion & Deposit Limits
Licensed Australian casinos are required to offer responsible gambling tools including:
- Deposit limits – set daily, weekly, or monthly caps on deposits.
- Session time limits – automatic reminders or logouts after a set time.
- Self-exclusion – temporarily or permanently block your own account.
- Reality checks – regular notifications about time and money spent.
