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.
