Responsible Gambling Guide for Australian Players

Gambling can be an enjoyable form of entertainment when done responsibly. However, for some people it can become a problem. This page provides information to help you stay in control and access support if you need it.

Is Your Gambling Under Control?

Ask yourself these questions honestly:

Do you spend more money gambling than you intended?
Do you gamble to escape from problems or negative feelings?
Have you borrowed money or sold possessions to fund gambling?
Do you lie to family or friends about your gambling?
Do you try to win back money you have lost ("chasing losses")?
Has gambling caused arguments, stress or financial difficulties?

If you answered yes to two or more of these questions, you may be experiencing a gambling problem. Please seek help immediately — support is free, confidential, and available 24/7.

Tips for Responsible Gambling

Always set a budget before you start — and stick to it.
Never chase your losses.
Treat gambling as entertainment, not as a way to make money.
Take regular breaks and do not gamble when tired, stressed or upset.
Balance gambling with other leisure activities.
Never gamble under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
Keep track of how much time and money you spend gambling.

Remember: 18+ only. Gambling is not suitable for everyone. If in doubt, step away and seek support.
