Responsible Gambling
Gambling should be entertainment, never a way to solve money problems. Keep it fun and keep control.
Simple rules
- Only bet money you can afford to lose.
- Set a deposit limit before you start and stick to it.
- Set a time limit and take regular breaks.
- Never chase losses.
- Do not gamble when upset, tired or under the influence.
Warning signs
- Spending more than planned
- Borrowing to gamble
- Hiding gambling from family
- Feeling anxious or irritable when not playing
Tools
Ask the casino about deposit limits, time-outs and self-exclusion. In Australia you can also register with the national self-exclusion service.
