Responsible Gambling
Gambling can be a fun and entertaining activity when approached responsibly. This page outlines practical tools, warning signs, and support resources to help Australian players stay in control.
Principles of Responsible Gambling
Responsible gambling means making informed decisions, staying within pre-set limits, and treating gambling as entertainment rather than a way to make money. Key principles include:
- Only gamble with money you can afford to lose
- Set a budget before you start and stick to it
- Never chase losses — accept them as the cost of entertainment
- Balance gambling with other leisure activities
- Never gamble under the influence of alcohol or when emotionally distressed
- Take regular breaks and use session time limits
Self-Assessment: Warning Signs
You may have a gambling problem if you:
- Spend more money or time gambling than you intended
- Borrow money or sell belongings to fund gambling
- Feel anxious, irritable, or depressed when not gambling
- Lie to family or friends about how much you gamble
- Continue gambling despite significant financial, relationship, or work consequences
- Use gambling to escape problems or negative feelings
