Responsible Gaming

Gamble for entertainment, not income

Gambling involves risk, and there is no guaranteed way to win. Games are based on chance or other factors outside your control, so losses can occur. You should never treat gambling as a way to make money, solve financial problems or recover previous losses. Only gamble with money you can afford to lose after essential expenses have been paid.

Before you play, consider setting a personal budget for gambling and deciding how much time you are comfortable spending. Keep gambling funds separate from money needed for rent, mortgage payments, utilities, food, transport, education or other important commitments. Do not borrow money, use credit that you cannot repay or sell belongings to fund gambling.

Gambling is for adults only. Do not gamble if you are under the applicable legal age, and do not allow children or other unauthorised people to access your account. Keep your login details private, use appropriate device security and log out when you have finished playing, particularly when using a shared device.

Practical habits for safer play

• Decide your spending and time limits before starting a session.
• Take regular breaks and avoid playing when tired, upset, stressed or affected by alcohol or other substances.
• Keep track of deposits, withdrawals, wins and losses rather than relying on memory.
• Do not chase losses by increasing stakes or playing for longer than planned.
• Avoid gambling to celebrate, escape problems or change your mood.
• Never assume that a win is due or that a particular outcome is more likely because of previous results.
• Stop playing when you reach your budget or time limit.
• Talk openly with someone you trust if you feel your gambling is becoming harder to control.

Use account controls to manage your play

Responsible gambling tools can help you make decisions before you play. The controls available to you may depend on the service, your location and applicable legal or regulatory requirements. Where available, use these tools before gambling rather than waiting until you feel concerned.

Deposit and spending limits

A deposit limit can restrict the amount added to your account over a selected period. Choose an amount that fits comfortably within your budget and does not affect essential expenses. A deposit limit is not a guarantee that you will win or that your total gambling spend will remain within a particular amount, because your account balance, existing funds and other gambling activity may also affect your overall spending.

Loss, wager and session limits

If loss, wager or session controls are offered, consider setting them before beginning to play. A loss limit can help define the amount you are prepared to lose, while a wager limit can restrict the amount you stake. A session reminder or time limit can prompt you to take a break. Check the terms of any control carefully, including when it starts, how long it applies and whether changes take effect immediately or after a waiting period.

Time reminders and breaks

Long sessions can make it harder to keep track of time and money. Use reminders to pause and review your play. When taking a break, leave the gambling environment, do something unrelated to gambling and return only if you still feel comfortable and within your original plan. If you need more than a short break, consider closing your session or requesting a longer restriction.

Self-exclusion and account closure

If you want to stop gambling, ask for your account to be closed or for a self-exclusion restriction where that option is available. Self-exclusion is a serious commitment to avoid gambling for a chosen period or until you decide that it is safe to return, subject to the applicable process. Do not open another account or use another person's account during a self-exclusion period. You can also use device, browser or payment controls to make access more difficult.

Account controls are designed to support your decisions, but they cannot replace personal judgement or professional help. If you are worried that you may gamble despite a limit or restriction, stop playing and seek support as soon as possible.

Recognise the signs of gambling harm

Gambling harm can affect finances, relationships, work, study, health and general wellbeing. It can develop gradually, and a person may not recognise the issue immediately. The following signs may indicate that gambling is no longer staying within safe limits:

• Spending more time or money gambling than you intended.
• Trying to win back money after a loss, often by increasing your stakes.
• Hiding gambling activity, losses or account transactions from family or friends.
• Borrowing money, missing payments or using essential funds to gamble.
• Feeling anxious, irritable, restless, guilty or low when not gambling.
• Thinking about gambling frequently or finding it difficult to concentrate on other activities.
• Neglecting work, study, family, health or social responsibilities.
• Arguing with people close to you about gambling.
• Attempting to stop or cut back but returning to gambling repeatedly.
• Gambling to cope with stress, loneliness, depression, anger or other difficult feelings.
• Selling possessions or using loans, credit or emergency savings to continue gambling.
• Feeling that gambling is out of control or that stopping is impossible.

Experiencing one or more of these signs does not mean that you need to manage the problem alone. It is a good reason to pause gambling, protect your finances and speak with a qualified support service. Asking for help early can make it easier to understand what is happening and choose practical next steps.

If you are concerned about someone else

You may be affected even if you do not gamble yourself. If a family member, partner, friend or colleague appears to be experiencing gambling harm, choose a calm time to raise your concerns without judgement. Explain what you have noticed, listen to their response and encourage them to seek professional support. Avoid giving them money for gambling, covering up gambling-related debts or taking responsibility for their account.

You can also seek support for yourself. Gambling support services may provide information and counselling to people affected by another person's gambling, not only to the person who is gambling. If a conversation becomes unsafe or there is an immediate risk of harm, prioritise personal safety and contact appropriate emergency or crisis services.

Getting help in Australia

If gambling is causing distress or financial difficulty, consider speaking with a gambling help service, counsellor, financial counsellor or qualified health professional. Australian support services can provide confidential information, practical guidance and referrals. You can look for Gambling Help Online or a gambling support service in your state or territory. Support may be available by phone, online or in person, depending on the organisation and your location.

For financial concerns, an independent financial counsellor can help you understand debts, essential payments and options for managing money. You may also wish to speak with your bank or payment provider about account safety measures. If gambling is affecting your mental health, speak with a doctor or mental health professional. If you or another person is in immediate danger, contact emergency services in Australia.
