Responsible Gambling

Gambling is a form of entertainment and should always be enjoyed safely and within your personal limits. This page provides guidance on responsible gambling practices and resources available to Australian players.

Gambling Safely

Responsible gambling means staying in control of how much time and money you spend on gambling activities. Here are some fundamental principles to keep in mind:

  • Only gamble with money you can afford to lose
  • Set a strict budget before you play and stick to it
  • Never chase losses — accept them as part of the game
  • Set time limits on your gambling sessions
  • Never gamble under the influence of alcohol or drugs
  • Take regular breaks and do not let gambling affect your daily life
  • Keep gambling as entertainment, not a source of income

Signs of Problem Gambling

Problem gambling can affect anyone. Common warning signs include:

  • Spending more money or time gambling than intended
  • Gambling to escape stress, anxiety, or depression
  • Borrowing money to fund gambling
  • Hiding gambling activities from family and friends
