Responsible Gaming

Gambling involves a risk of losing money. Treat it as entertainment and only spend what you can afford to lose.

Set Limits

Decide how much time and money you’re comfortable spending before you start. Take regular breaks, avoid borrowing money to gamble and resist the urge to win back losses. If sticking to your limits becomes difficult, take a break from gambling.

Recognise the Warning Signs

It may be time to seek support if you spend more than planned, hide your gambling from others, or find that it’s affecting your finances, work or relationships.

Take a Break

If you want to stop gambling for a period or close an account, ask the operator about its account closure and self-exclusion options. If you share a device with children, keep your login details private and use parental controls where appropriate.
