Responsible Gaming

Gamble for entertainment

Gambling involves risk, and there is no guaranteed way to win. Every game outcome is determined by chance or by the rules of the relevant game. Previous results do not predict future results, and a losing session does not make a win more likely. Strategies, systems and betting patterns cannot remove the underlying risk.

Only gamble with money you can afford to lose after essential expenses have been paid. Gambling should not be funded with borrowed money, credit intended for household needs, or money set aside for rent, bills, education, savings or other commitments. It should also not be used as a solution to financial stress or as a way to recover losses.

Practical ways to stay in control

• Decide how much time and money you are comfortable spending before you start.
• Set a gambling budget and treat it as an entertainment cost rather than an investment.
• Keep track of deposits, wagers, wins and losses so you have a realistic view of your play.
• Take regular breaks and avoid playing when tired, upset, stressed or under the influence of alcohol or other substances.
• Do not chase losses or increase stakes to try to recover money.
• Avoid gambling as part of a plan to improve your financial position.
• Keep gambling separate from essential household finances where possible.
• Talk to someone you trust if you feel your gambling is becoming difficult to manage.

It can be useful to decide in advance what you will do when your planned session ends. Logging out, moving away from the device or taking part in another activity can help you keep gambling within the limits you chose. A win does not require you to continue playing, and a loss does not require you to continue trying.

Safer-play tools and account controls

Depending on the services available to your account and applicable requirements, safer-play controls may help you manage your activity. These can include deposit limits, wagering or spending limits, session reminders, time-outs and account closure or self-exclusion options. Limits are designed to support your decisions and should be selected before gambling becomes difficult to control.

Using limits effectively

1. Choose an amount and time period that are affordable within your personal budget.
2. Consider setting limits lower than the maximum available, particularly if you are reviewing your habits for the first time.
3. Allow any requested control to take effect before continuing to play, where a waiting or processing period applies.
4. Do not cancel or increase a limit simply because you have lost money or want to continue a session.
5. Review your activity regularly and change your approach if gambling is taking more time or money than planned.
6. Use a time-out or self-exclusion request if you want to stop gambling for a defined period or for longer.

Self-exclusion is a stronger step that restricts access to gambling services for the period selected or requested. If you choose self-exclusion, do not attempt to open another account, use another person's account or find ways around the restriction. These actions can increase risk and may breach account rules. You can contact the relevant support channel through the website or your account area to ask about the controls available to you.

Account controls are not a substitute for personal support. If you are worried about your gambling, consider using controls immediately and speaking with a qualified counselling or financial support service. If someone close to you is concerned, listen to them and consider taking a break even if you are not yet certain there is a problem.

Recognising when gambling may be harmful

Problem gambling can develop gradually. It may affect people from any background and can happen even when gambling began as occasional entertainment. The important issue is not only how often you gamble, but whether gambling is affecting your choices, responsibilities, relationships or emotional wellbeing.

Possible warning signs

• Spending more time or money gambling than you intended.
• Trying to reduce or stop gambling but finding it difficult.
• Chasing losses or feeling pressure to win back money.
• Borrowing money, selling belongings or missing payments to fund gambling.
• Keeping gambling secret or giving misleading information about your activity.
• Feeling restless, irritable or anxious when you are not gambling.
• Thinking about gambling frequently or allowing it to interfere with work, study, sleep or family time.
• Using gambling to escape stress, sadness, loneliness or other difficult feelings.
• Arguing with family or friends about gambling.
• Feeling shame, hopelessness or distress because of gambling.

One warning sign can be enough to justify taking a break and reviewing your habits. You do not need to wait for a crisis before seeking help. A counsellor can help you understand what is happening, make a practical plan and identify support for related financial, relationship or mental health concerns.

If gambling has caused financial difficulty, consider speaking with a qualified financial counsellor before borrowing more money or making major financial decisions. Keep records of debts and commitments, avoid trying to win back losses and ask a trusted person to help you create a realistic budget.

Support, age protection and safer access

Support is available to people affected by gambling, including partners, family members and friends. In Australia, you can seek confidential assistance through an appropriate gambling counselling service in your state or territory, a national gambling support service, a qualified mental health professional or a financial counselling service. Search for current Australian support options through official government or health service websites.

If you feel overwhelmed, unsafe or at immediate risk of harming yourself or someone else, stop gambling and contact emergency services or a crisis support service in Australia. If possible, move to a safe place and tell a trusted person what is happening. Gambling concerns can be serious, and asking for help is a responsible step.
